loafysam (talk) | 19 May 2010 | Proper spelling and punctuation should be WP standards in the production and maintenance of a well-written article. Also, my brain freezes when I see a typo or a run-on sentence. |

I try to help out Wikipedia and revise/rewrite whenever possible, however I mostly find myself coming back to articles on Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese celebrities because I find that those are the ones that require the most rewriting and additions. If you need some copy editing, you could try and leave a message on my talk page. However, I prefer rather short articles or stubs. Otherwise, it's too complicated. |
