![]() Another thing I am slowly working on is a "calling all arms"-style template to put on the project page. This looks more formal and I think would help us. I asked the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards to create us a barnstar. I have zero artistic ability (and suspect that many of us are very left-brained people) but if you can design a good one it would be cool for us to have. And secondly, I think it would be great if the project had a barnstar to give to users. This would make the project feel more formal. Copy Galaxiaad's userbox to the project box such that we have something like Wikipedia:Typo team/userbox or thing like that. There are two more things I think the project should do. Hopefully there hasn't been any more consequences I didn't anticipate. There was a little bit of trouble with the archive on the discussion page but I fixed it now too I think. Things mostly seems to have gone smoothly. Since enough time has past and nobody else commented, I went ahead and moved the project page to the new name. After several heavy copy sessions I have AT LAST got on top of the backlog. Jason Quinn ( talk) 00:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC) A VERY good idea! I adopted 'questionnaire' so often misspelled with a single 'n'. I refer people to my user page to figure out how to make those kinds of links. Every now and then I just click on them to fix the new ones. On my user page, I've created links that search for certain common mispellings I've fixed in the past. ![]() PamD ( talk) 07:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC) It's a very good idea. What do you guys think? DeluxNate ( talk) 18:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC) I think we do this anyway, surely? I certainly use WP:AWB every now and then to seek out "could of", "is been" and a few others and fix them. Some typos aren't used that often so it would be really easy just to check for any recent articles using that typo. If we got a lot of members in on it we could probably get it to work. It took a while to get rid of the old articles, but now all I do is scan for new articles with that mistake. I've been monitoring articles that use aquired, anounced, and acheived. I don't know if this is a stupid idea or not but what if we got everyone to adopt a typo by choosing like 5 or 6 of the most widely used typo's on the common list and search Wikipedia for them.
