Thanks for making these corrections! -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 20:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, thank you! Do be careful not to "correct" spelling in quotations, where we want the original; if something looks really wrong, it has to be re-checked in the original. (and we don't generally use [sic] because quotations frequently have lots of variations, [sic] is assumed ;-) and there are a few other cases, like alternate spelling entries themselves. thanks, Robert Ullmann 15:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll watch out for that. As far as I know, I haven't "corrected" anything here that shouldn't have been corrected, but I know I have done that once or twice on Wikipedia. Ashton1983 13:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
