I want to start correcting misspelled words

Go right ahead. --Ed Poor ^Talk 13:30, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Thank you. I have a script searching for commonly misspelled words at the moment. Hopefully it will return something. KevinDavis 09:38, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Spell check

In case of essays where it says no other contributions, I think minor spelling corrections are fine. Karajou 11:28, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Ok thank you. I'll refrain if a correction would change the meaning at all (I don't know why it would, but still). KevinDavis 09:37, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

RE:James Bond?

Yes, that is correct.--GOPFan2011 13:40, 5 September 2011 (EDT)

Style

Regarding this: there are two ways to approach quotes and punctuation. One format (which I prefer) is to only have the quotes represent the quote punctuation, i.e. if there is a comma or period at the end of the quote then put that punctuation, if not leave punctuation outside of the quote. Some others prefer to have all punctuation within a quote. One is based on quotation correctness logic, the other is based on uniformity. Which does Conservapedia prefer so that can be established (or you'll have to be doing a lot of changes to switch it over :) )? I do have a program that can swap the punctuation more easily so I can handle some of it without a problem. Ottava (talk) 10:19, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

I was always taught that punctuation is placed within quotes, regardless of context or content (with a few rare exceptions, none of which I've seen used here). I've used that method for years in my work, and it's what I pass on to my students. However, if you have any lingering questions, I would ask User:Aschlafly, since he's who I've turned to for help with other issues. Kevin Davis ^Talk 10:22, 9 September 2011 (EDT)
