Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss/J
Quick start
[edit]- Edit one section at a time due to length of this page. Picking a section at random might avoid conflicts with other editors.
- T1 sections are for the most likely misspellings; TS sections have mostly whitespace errors, but some could also be a compound word that should be added to Wiktionary.
- Click "Show preview" to get a clickable version of that section.
- Middle-click on the leftmost link on each to open the article where the spelling error is. Search for the misspelled word or words (after the "wikt:").
- Fix the misspelling if you're sure you know the correct spelling, and save the article. Don't change compound words (like buckwheat -> buck wheat) unless you know they are wrong (like Whitehouse -> White House for the U.S. president).
- Correctly spelled English words can be added to Wiktionary by following the wikt: link, or just left on the list here with a note, to be collected by other editors who enjoy dictionaries.
- If you're not sure about a word, you can either leave it for someone else to think about, or put one of these tags after the problem word in the article where it appears: {{typo help inline}} or {{which lang}}.
- Delete the entry from the list if you corrected it, added it to Wiktionary, or tagged it. To save time, feel free to fix several at once or even a whole section before clicking "Publish changes".
- Entries that have notes (mostly words to add to Wiktionary) are moved to the bottom of the page as the work gets completed, to make it easier for editors to find typos to fix.
- Full instructions on how to resolve complicated cases are at Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss § Instructions for editors.
Other notes:
- "Probably OK" words can be deleted if they are in fact OK, or just fixed if they are not OK.
- For HTML tags (especially in the HB+ section), see Category:Articles with HTML markup for instructions
- The HL+ section lists what look like bad HTML links that need to be fixed. See Wikipedia:External links#How to link for syntax help.
- "…" should be "..." per MOS:ELLIPSIS
- ² should be 2 per MOS:SUPERSCRIPT (and the same for other digits and symbols) - markup is <sup>2</sup> or {{sup|2}}
- Fractions should use words or a template or math markup instead of Unicode characters. For example, ½ (except in chess articles) might be one-half or {{frac|1|2}} which looks like 1⁄2. See MOS:FRAC for details on when to use various methods.
- Contractions are included here because they violate MOS:CONTRACTION (unless in quotation, title of a work, etc.).
- "You" and similar words are now included, which probably violate MOS:YOU. These words are ignored if they are inside straight double quote marks, but reported if they are in italics. MOS:ITALQUOTE says not to use italics for quotations, so this may need to be fixed in the article. (See also articles manually tagged with {{you}}.)
- Any instances of µ (U+00B5, micro) should be replaced with μ (U+03BC) per Unicode compatibility characters#Semantically distinct characters and MOS:UNITSYMBOLS. (There may be other reasons μ shows up in the listings, such as a new unit of measure that needs to be whitelisted. If the article looks correct, leave a note.
- {{IPA}} or {{respell}} can be used for word pronunciations. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation for details.
- Chemical formulas like Ca
9(Mg,Fe)(PO
4)
6(PO
3OH) that appear as typos because they don't have spaces between commas or for other reasons, can be converted to chemistry notation using the instructions at Template:chem2 (preferred) or Template:chem. - Non-English words or fragments should be labeled with {{lang}} or {{transl}} templates. To use these templates, first go to that language's Wikipedia page and look for its two letter ISO 693-1 code in the infobox. For words in languages that use the Latin alphabet, type the ISO 693-1 code for the language in place of xx using the format {{lang|xx|word}} or {{langl|xx|italic=no|word}}. For words in languages that use non-Latin alphabets or characters, use {{transl|xx|word}} or {{transl|xx|italic=no|word}}. If there is no ISO 693-1 code, use the three letter ISO-693-3 code. Detailed instructions are at Template:Lang.
- The "T/" section contains suspected violations of MOS:SLASH.
2020-01-01 dump
[edit]All done except for HB+. (If anybody knows how to correct these, please do so.) All done! All the typos from this dump have either been fixed (yay!) or need tagging (if correct or need research). More typos to fix can be found on an active page on the main listing.
Help cleaning up any cases listed in the section below would be appreciated, as it prepares this page for the next round of typos and prevents duplicate work. Many listings can just be tagged with the new {{typo help inline}} and {{which lang}}; for full instructions see Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss § Instructions for editors. If you don't want to add listings to Wiktionary yourself, legitimate words can be moved to Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss/For Wiktionary and they will be suppressed from future spell checking while they are waiting to be added to the dictionary. Thanks!

Abbreviation
[edit]MOS:ABBR recommends that we should reduce abbreviations (mostly by expanding them), especially when they reduce how understandable the article is.
- Javier Álvarez (composer) - wikt:vln,vla, wikt:hrns, wikt:trbs, wikt:vlns - music related
- 4 - Juno Beach order of battle - wikt:CAB)s, wikt:s.IG, wikt:s.IG, wikt:s.Werfer: German abbreviations, with no spaces after the periods. Ira Leviton (talk) 04:10, 7 February 2021 (UTC) // They're all military abbreviations. All are German except "(2nd CAB)s" which is Canadian English. There's a lot of abbreviations on this.

Investigate further
[edit]This includes ones that I (Xurizuri) couldn't understand the comment enough to be able to categorise properly.
- 1 - Jason Firth - wikt:overager - an overager for the North Bay Centennials.
- 1 - Jiang Lifu - wikt:syringine: "syringine geometry". Couldn't find anything that might replace it. // I think this may be a dodgy translation. It might refer to Euclid's Elements. We may need someone that knows about Chinese mathematics. --Xurizuri (talk) 08:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- 1 - John Yorkston - wikt:wharler: wtf is a wharler? Can't think of anything close... // added {please clarify} --Xurizuri (talk) 08:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

- 1 - Jassi Sidhu - wikt:honkeh: a type of song. // I can't find it used outside of this article, so I'm not actually sure it is a type of music. --Xurizuri (talk) 08:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

These ones I (Xurizuri) am not certain about the MOS verdict on.
- 1 - Joué-sur-Erdre - wikt:Gaudi(us): brackets to show an uncertainty in a name. Ira Leviton (talk) 16:07, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- 2 - Jagera people - Yug[g]: brackets are used to show two spellings, with one g or two. Ira Leviton (talk) 02:04, 5 February 2021 (UTC) // if MOS allows this, then it should still be changed to () not [] --Xurizuri (talk) 08:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Titles
[edit]Works that MOS considers major, as listed here, should be in italics. Adding italics won't make the word not get detected here again, so one of the other solutions will still be required after its italicised. Minor works, as listed here, should be in quotemarks. Adding quotemarks will mean that the word won't get detected again, so problem solved. However, if it's in another language, then it should also be {lang} tagged.
