:Some pages are titled incorrectly in the area of plural versus singular. Titles will need to be made plural if there is more that one of that particular character, enemy, hazard, interactive object, etc. present in a level or throughout the game. For example, the article "Chain gate", which discusses the chain gates present throughout the levels of Temple Glider, should be made plural. This is because there are more than one chain gate in a level. So, the article would be renamed "Chain gates". However, (and this is important) '''not all articles should be made plural'''. For example, articles that discuss bosses, characters that there are only one of, specific enemies with only one of them in existence, etc. should not be made plural. In fact, if they are plural, they should be changed back to singular. For example, the article "Nitrome boss", which discusses the last boss of Nitrome Must Die, should stay the same, because there is only one of him. |

:Pronouns should not be used at the beginning of a |
:Pronouns should not be used at the beginning of a paragragh or a section when describing a character, enemy, object, etc. Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. For example, he, she, and it are pronouns. They should not be used at the beginning of a paragraph, because the reader will be confused as to what the editor is referring to. For instance, an Appearance section should not begin like this: "It appears to be...." and rather should be "The [place article name here] appears to be....". This is clearer and easier for the reader to understand. It is also a proper writing rule. |

:All Arabic numerals should be written in |
:All Arabic numerals under ten (10) should be written out in English as full words. That means that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should all be changed to zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. This is a rule of grammar and is the proper way to write in English when using numbers. |

:Similarly, all numbers that end in "st", "nd", "rd", etc. that are under tenth (10th) should be written out in English as full words. That means that the numbers 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th should all be changed to first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth. This is also a rule of grammar and is the proper way to write in English when using numbers. |
