User:Topbanana/Reports/This article may contain a mis-spelled word

Overview
The list below shows articles which contain a commonly misspelled word. It was generated on 5th July 2004 from the 1st July 2004 database dump.

Preamble
The Typo Team have compiled a list of commonly mis-spelled or mis-typed words in the English-language wikipedia along with correct spellings. The list below shows articles containing the mis-spelled words. Check if the spelling is indeed wrong and fix it if so.

Suggested improvements

 * The entry for Stiff Little Fingers (contains wanna try want to) is erroneous in so far as the lyrics to the song are "wanna" not "want to"....although grammatically it should be "want to"!! (confused now..gonna (sorry going to) go sit in a dark corner and cogitate!)
 * The search for mis-spelled words is currently case-sensitive. If the word and all of its suggested correct spellings are entirely lower-case, the check could be made case-insensitive. - TB 15:53, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * List is pretty low quality. Needs something extra to make this genuinely useful. - TB
 * Need to remove km², too fiddly and annoying to fix for too little gain. - TB 11:46, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * I vote leave them (not that I really have vote to begin with). I have pretty much fixed all the km&sup2;, errors mentioned in this list. I have a few to go but it would be great to get a refresh. Also there are many sq mi that could be converted to mi&sup2; and I have even seen cu everything (as in x&sup3;). I have also been searching for other unit errors like mhz (should be MHz) and no spaces in between stuff (like 3m, bad). Would it be possible to generate a new report that just looks for improper use of units? Thanks! Hobie 03:34, 2004 Sep 20 (UTC)


 * Oh well - good job! Yes, I can generate reports showing incorrect units if you'd like.  I am however a bit behind with my plans here for now - sadly real life has presented me with some real work needing done.  The best plan would be for me to work up reports showing your examples above ( mhz and   ).  We can play with the rules used to generate it until happy then work up a more complete list of 'common unit problems' if you like.  Watch this space. - TB 13:41, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

List removed, hideously out of date. - TB 17:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
