[edit]

Don't search and replace - it screws up citations. And the style was good enough to pass FA in the first place. Will (talk) 05:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are citations?--Reembud (talk) 05:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Citations are used to link to original sources for articles - see Citing sources. In order to link to these sources in a way that captures their metadata and doesn't break the flow of the article, we use markup in the body of the article - you may see some of these in curly brackets. The search and replace jobs that you were doing were breaking these - for example, you tried to replace 'first' with 'initially', but in our citation markup 'first' is used to indicate the first name of the person who wrote the source material. If you find grammatical errors in an article then please feel free to fix them. As Sceptre mentioned, the article was already good enough to be a featured article in Wikipedia and therefore didn't need correcting. And if you are going to correct mistakes, please preview them and make sure they haven't screwed up any of the formatting, particularly in the references at the bottom of the page. I hope this helps. -- NRTurner (talk) 09:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
