Here is another mistake in XP Physics (I only didn't edit it into my last post becuse there would be no way of knowing I did) and guess what, is an it's mistake. 4th paragraph where is says "For my 2L homemade with it's 24........." I promise you the rest will be edited in here and if I get a lot of em, then I'll post a reminder post.

Ben · 10-09-2004, 09:43 AM

Actually, I'm in the process of rewriting that article so I won't change it. I didn't explain it well enough and left some stuff out.

Forceuser · 10-10-2004, 09:41 AM

Well I've just found some mistakes in the sniping article (and they're not 'it's' mistakes!).

'3) Is it quite?'
This should be is it quiet.

'* Wrap camo clothe around soaker.'
Should be clothes

Ben · 10-10-2004, 11:29 AM

Thanks, I'll fix them for the update we have planned.

DX · 10-10-2004, 07:41 PM

Speaking of the beta site, there are a few places where "entier" should be "entire".
I forget the exact locations, but the mistake appears about 3-5 times.

Ben · 10-11-2004, 12:22 PM

Thanks, I'll get to that when I find an instance.

In reply to this whole thread: jesus f*cking christ

It's only spelling mistakes dudes. Just mellow out a little, it's an internet forum.

No offence, I'm not ragging on you, but honestly theres no need to waste your time going through threads and posts fixing up spelling mistakes for god knows what unless you have no life or something. It's really weird :S

These aren't the spelling mistakes in the forum we're pointing out. I agree that changing them would be sad, but these are mistakes in articles on the main site NOT the forum.

*quietly sneaks away*

Sorry, I was just in a kinda "wow theres a lot of fuss about spelling here" mood after seeing assorted posts and I didn't read this thread properly when I opened it

NiborDude · 10-17-2004, 05:51 PM

Plank, read the rules. AndI do agree people do have no lives if they do go through the forum and correct things. The main site is another story. Watch your mouth. Some people are religious.

Forceuser · 11-15-2004, 11:50 AM

Well, I'm slowly working my way through the site checking it. So far I'm onto the Tactics section. Here are the mistakes I've found so far:

General things:
When a bullet pointed sentence takes up more than one line the bullet point is aligned bottom. It would look better if it was either central or top.
Some links (internal and external) link to the page in the same window, some open new windows.
Some articles have titles in capitals, some don't

Sections page:
"Here you can find most everything aside from technical developments and reviews." Should be "almost" not "most" FIXED!
"How to make a sheild from a large Tupperware lid." Should be "shield" not "sheild" FIXED!
"Targetting" Should be "Targeting" FIXED!
"Veteran's Sheild" Should be "Shield" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - 1HK Flange Elimination Rules:
"Fight - Any battle following all rules provided by this document by." Not quite sure about this sentence. Would make sense without the "by" at the end FIXED!
"Only one flag per a team" There should not be an "a" in this sentence FIXED!
"If a referee is present all players will obey the referees calls" There should be an apostrophe in "referees". FIXED!
"(no going inside of houses)" Should really be "inside houses", no "of" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Freakymist's Shield:
"10 galloon Tupperware lid" Should be "gallon" not "galloon" FIXED!
"2 strings" Should really be "2 pieces of string" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Lazy Editors:
"Like if I was writing about which Super Soaker's are better than others" There should not be an apostrophe in "Soakers" FIXED!
"I might title my outline "Super Soaker Buyers Guide"." There should be an apostrophe in "Buyers" FIXED!
"No one wants to read it is it sounds lame." Should be "if" not "is" FIXED!
"if you where writing an article about the history of the Super Soaker" Should be "were" not "where" FIXED!
"DO NOT EVER make the editor's do more work than they have to because they are LAZY!" There should be no apostrophe in "editors" (I think that there being a mistake in this sentence is particularly amusing!) Hahaha, definitely! :Hey, that's funny.: FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Lazy or just plain stupid?:
"The real reason they want more guns is the great quest for power than Larami started years ago..." Should be "that" not "than" FIXED!
"nevermind want one" Should have a space in "never mind" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Modding Hesitation:
"Imaging modding before documented mods" Should be "Imagine" not "Imaging" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Painful?:
"it's got it's advantages and disadvantages" Should be "it has got its" not "it's got it's" FIXED!
"35-40 degrees Fahrenehiet" Should be "Fahrenheit" not "Fahrenehiet" FIXED!
"as long as it is not frozen that it" Should be "is" not "it" at the end FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Quick Weapons:
"you really can't take it over the entier battlefield" Should be "entire" not "entier" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Regarding Catapults:
"Today we don't want antient weapons" Should be "ancient" not "antient" FIXED!
"which I actually thought was a specific kind of seige engine" Should be "siege" not "seige" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Stop, and read this article:
The CPS 2000 review link does not take you to the CPS 2000 review, just the main review page. FIXED!
"theres something we all know about" There should be an apostrophe in "theres" FIXED!
"third and maybe even forth" Should be "fourth" not "forth" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Targetting:
Well apart from the incorrectly spelt title, which I pointed out earlier (FIXED!) (PS BTW I did notice it said the article remains unedited but there is only one little mistake):
"Several call te Triple Aggressor the best water gun of all time" Should be "the" not "te" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Traps:
"Although they only get your get their feet" Should not have either "get your" or "get their" in it FIXED!
"Be catious thought, while running if a person trips in in the whole serious injury can occur" Should be "cautious" not "catious". Also there should only be one "in" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Veteran's Sheild:
"There are three basic kinds of water shields I've made used:" Should be either "made or used" or "made and used" not "made used" FIXED!
"One-arm shield" As the other two bulleted types of shield have a capital for "Shield", so should this one (and also in the sub-header) FIXED!

Sections - Articles - Water Balloon Launchers:
"They preach that WBL's are far superior to Super Soaker's" There should be no apostrophes in either "WBLs" or "Super Soaker" FIXED!
"From this, I can conclude that WBL's are strategically beneficial" There should not be an apostrophe in "WBLs" FIXED!
"However, in the midst of all of my ranting" In this paragraph "&" has been used several times instead of "and" FIXED!
"WBL's are not only fun" Again, there should not be an apostrophe in "WBLs" FIXED!
"The WBL's have potential" There should not be an apostrophe in "WBLs" FIXED!
"But they will never replace Super Soaker's" There should not be an apostrophe in "Soakers" FIXED!
The last paragraph of this article states that WBLs must be easier to make and says "(in case you didn't pick up on it, they're HOMEMADE weapons)". Isn't this contradictive to some of the newer articles which state that homemades are easier to make? It's just an opinion article.

Sections - Articles - Water Blaster History:
In the "Early Beginnings (1960-1988)" section, apostrophes are misused. There should not be any in "60s", "70s", etc., and "WBs", "WBLs", "water blasters" and "water balloon launchers" FIXED!
"he asked Bruce D'Andrade, and accomplished inventor" Should be "an accomplished" not "and accomplished" FIXED!
"In 1989 it was changed to the Super Soaker 100, pictured to the side" Well it's not! FIXED!

"It is considered one of the best XP's ever made" There should not be an apostrophe in "XPs" FIXED!
"The XP's where more durable" There should not be an apostrophe in "XPs". Also it should be "were" not "where" FIXED!
"unlike the XP's, CS's, and SS's" There should not be apostrophes in any of these FIXED!
"The XP's released that year where the XP 105 and the XP Pool Pumper" There should not be an apostrophe in "XPs". Also it should be "were" not "where" FIXED!
"This is one of the few Super Soaker's" There should not be an apostrophe in "Soakers" FIXED!
"Both of these blaster's where the first double-barreled Super Soaker's ever" None of the apostrophes in this should be there. Also it should be "were" not "where" FIXED!
"CPS 3000 (back-pack blaster) where all released" Should be "were" not "where" FIXED!
"1998 was not just a year for the CPS's either; it was also a time for the XP's" There should be no apostrophes in either of these FIXED!
"we suggest you guy one if you come across one" Should be "buy" not "guy" FIXED!

Sections - Articles - What really matters (in water warfare):
"Question: Which signle statistic makes the largest difference?" Should be "single" not "signle" FIXED!

"gaurding the only place you can turn it back on" Should be "guarding" not "gaurding" FIXED!

Sections - FAQ:
"In the UK, call 00800 22427276" That should probably be "0800" not "00800" No, that 0 is necessary
"Where is the Super Soaker/Water Warriors website?" There should be an apostrophe at the end of "Warriors" Er, no, not in my opinion - you don't say "Super Soaker's website", so neither do you say "Water Warriors' website".
"The Water Warriors site can be accessed from the Buzz Bee Toys website" Should be apostrophes at the end of both "Water Warriors" and "Buzz Bee Toys" See above note

Sections - Gallery:
"strean shot images" Should be "stream" not "strean" FIXED!

Sections - Gallery - Internals - Helix Internals:
The third picture does not work.

Sections - Gallery - Weapons:
Pic 10: "Two painted guns, a XP 110 and SC 400" Should be "an XP 110" not "a XP 110"
Pic 15: "Pepper's remove control" Should be "remote" not "remove"
Pic 21: The image does not work.

Sections - Guides - Arming Your Squad:
"or every ones a bomber" Should be "everyone's" not "every ones"
"and may be throw some into your squad" Should be "maybe" not "may be"
"close pen" ? I presume this is meant to be "clothes peg"
"much farther than the any water blaster" There should not be "the" in this phrase
"Since hoses have the have faucet to work" Should be "have to have faucets" not "have the have faucet"

There are some "&"s that should be "and"s.

Sections - Guides - Choosing a Weapon:
"should shoot all of it's water" There should not be an apostrophe in "its"
"You may even want to go as fare" Should be "far" not "fare"
There are several misuses of apostrophes in names such as "XP's", "Max-D's", etc., which should be "XPs", "Max-Ds", etc.

Sections - Guides - Squads, Positions & Training:
"A squad should not have to many members" Should be "too" not "to"
"You want your team to be he Elite Squad" Should be "the not "he"
"but will most likely loose" Should be "lose" not "loose"
"They have to be able to carry their weapon correctly and fire easily. stealth is not necessary.this unit has to be strong,tough,and faithful. this unit will need an escort." Spacing has gone wrong in these sentences. There should be spaces after the commas and periods

Ouch! :blink: Thanks for that, plenty to do there. I've just corrected the Articles page, but I'm leaving it at that right now (I'm not feeling too good -_- ). Oh and regarding the phone number for Hasbro, I believe that it DOES require the extra digit, if I remember correctly from when I phoned them.

Off-site links or articles in an article open in a new window. This is no problem.

I'll get to fixing the problems, though it would be easier if my fellow admins who also did so marked off which ones they've fix with something like a FIXED!.

I'll do that.

*wipes sweat off brow* Well, I've edited around 18 pages, that leaves about 12 more to do. Time for a break, possibly.

"we suggest you guy one if you come across one" Should be "buy" not "guy" FIXED! "We also saw re-colored CPS 1200's & 1700's" There should not be apostrophes in either of these FIXED! Sections - Articles - What really matters (in water warfare): "Question: Which signle statistic makes the largest difference?" Should be "single" not "signle" FIXED! "because he is in the left guys range" There should be an apostrophe in "guys" FIXED! Sections - Articles - Why you shouldn't SuperCharge: "But the portable QFD put maybe 200 ml's of water" There should not be an apostrophe in "mls" FIXED! "gaurding the only place you can turn it back on" Should be "guarding" not "gaurding" FIXED! Sections - FAQ: "In the UK, call 00800 22427276" That should probably be "0800" not "00800" No, that 0 is necessary "Where is the Super Soaker/Water Warriors website?" There should be an apostrophe at the end of "Warriors" Er, no, not in my opinion - you don't say "Super Soaker's website", so neither do you say "Water Warriors' website". "The Water Warriors site can be accessed from the Buzz Bee Toys website" Should be apostrophes at the end of both "Water Warriors" and "Buzz Bee Toys" See above note Sections - Gallery: "strean shot images" Should be "stream" not "strean" FIXED! Sections - Gallery - Internals - Helix Internals: The third picture does not work. Sections - Gallery - Weapons: Pic 10: "Two painted guns, a XP 110 and SC 400" Should be "an XP 110" not "a XP 110" Pic 15: "Pepper's remove control" Should be "remote" not "remove" Pic 21: The image does not work. Sections - Guides - Arming Your Squad: "or every ones a bomber" Should be "everyone's" not "every ones" "and may be throw some into your squad" Should be "maybe" not "may be" "close pen" ? I presume this is meant to be "clothes peg" "much farther than the any water blaster" There should not be "the" in this phrase "Since hoses have the have faucet to work" Should be "have to have faucets" not "have the have faucet" "and I don't want to waist a hose" Should be "waste" not "waist" Sections - Guides - Battle Gear: "&" is used several times instead of "and" Sections - Guides - Battle Rules & Policies: "there may be one (armed) gaurd" Should be "guard" not "gaurd" There are some "&"s that should be "and"s. Sections - Guides - Battle plan questionnaire: "Is the unit/soldier spread too thinly or two narrowly?" Should be "too" not "two" Sections - Guides - Choosing a Pistol: "For new comers" Should be "newcomers" not "new comers" "we will discuss pistols role in defense" Should be "a pistol's" not "pistols" "As to preference for on Super Soaker over another" Should be "one" not "on" Sections - Guides - Choosing a Weapon: "should shoot all of it's water" There should not be an apostrophe in "its" "You may even want to go as fare" Should be "far" not "fare" There are several misuses of apostrophes in names such as "XP's", "Max-D's", etc., which should be "XPs", "Max-Ds", etc. Sections - Guides - Squads, Positions & Training: "A squad should not have to many members" Should be "too" not "to" "You want your team to be he Elite Squad" Should be "the not "he" "but will most likely loose" Should be "lose" not "loose" "They have to be able to carry their weapon correctly and fire easily. stealth is not necessary.this unit has to be strong,tough,and faithful. this unit will need an escort." Spacing has gone wrong in these sentences. There should be spaces after the commas and periods "With out the grunt" Should be "Without" not "With out" "and loose the battle" Should be "lose" not "loose" "be able to reconise weapons rather quickly" Should be "recognise" not "reconise" "Heavy Weapons Officer's are also known as Heavy Gunners" There should not be an apostrophe in "Officers" "Is it quite?" Should be "quiet" not "quite" "Wrap camo clothe around soaker" Should be "clothes" not "clothe" Sections - Guides - Storing Your Soaker: "Well, here's a small Do's" There should not be an apostrophe in "Dos" Sections - Guides - The Ups & Downs of Running a Water Gun Website: "expecting the be popular" Should be "to" not "the" "spamming the forums with links to the site, Good sites will spread by word of mouth" There should be a period not a comma between these two phrases "If you're site has no content" Should be "your" not "you're" "I do know that some of your would mention" Should be "you" not "your" "to be courteous to the dail-up users" Should be "dial-up" not "dail-up" "possibly with transparhency or animation" Should be "transparency" not "transparhency" "if you get hit by any water at all, your 'dead'" Should be "you're" not "your" "to keep wasting your shot,they are out of the game" There should be a space after the comma "because you casn still see throught the shots" Should be "can" not "casn" "such as caturing a person" Should be "capturing" not "caturing" "YOu also can lose points for being too violent" There should not be a capital o in "You" "to keep a person dry the entier game" Should be "entire" not "entier" This mistake is also repeated in the next but one sentence "to escort someone across the entier field" Should be "entire" and not "entier" again "to capture that landmark for the entier length of the game" Should be "entire" and not "entier" again __________________ Hey, images in sigs work again!

I've just corrected the Articles page, but I'm leaving it at that right now (I'm not feeling too good -_- ). Oh and regarding the phone number for Hasbro, I believe that it DOES require the extra digit, if I remember correctly from when I phoned them. __________________ ISS: Soaker Sagas Submit your saga and see it up with other titans of water warfare.
