Pledges

  • I pledge to be a hunter of typos and their corrector on Wikipedia. Actually started long ago, but pledging late! :o - Kunalrks (talk), 09:12, 22nd November, 2014.(UTC)

  • I pledge to Wikipedia (and to everybody else who is in the Wikipedia Typo Team) to fix any typos I come across, no matter how big or how small. I will even purposely look for typos and correct them in my spare time. Ninjadude8 (talk) 18:21, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I discovered only today that Wikipedia has a Typo Team and I therefore joined most enthusiastically, because I had routinely corrected typos since I began contributing in earnest on 22 July 2013. I have now retrofitted most of these in the project log and I pledge to continue doing so as an active member of our team. Patrick. ツ Pdebee. (talk) 16:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I hereby pledge to dedicate my knowledge and intelligence to extract and replace any typos I detect in my voyages throughout Wikipedia’s vast chambers of information, so long as I shall type! Shellyperlman 01:35, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge (albeit to a very fickle extent) to expunge typos by emancipating deleterious vowels, repatriating errant consonants, or vice-versa, ad nauseam, amen.--Nr30 (talk) 07:08, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to purge Wikipedia of any and all typos, Avalekhana

  • I pledge to fix as many typos as I find. I have long been accused of being too picky (and worse) when it comes to spelling errors. I read our local newspaper with pen in hand to mark typos. WayneyP (talk) 16:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to rid the world (or at least this site) of as many misspellings and incorrect capitalizations as possible. It is my duty as a human being who cringes at the sight of typos. Spock74 (talk) 06:08, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I pledge that I shall eradicate any typos and let the dogs out if I have to because the world cannot be itself with incorrect spellings, people will die, faces shall distort, and the excrement of all typos shall come together and plot against the world. This is the reason I pledge to kill typos, not fame, not glory, not even just to help with typos, it is to get a little box on my user page that solely states that I am a member of this valiant task force. NO LONGER SHALL WE FEAR TYPOS!!!! THE TIME IS NOW, THE PLACE IS HERE! BRING YOURSELVES UP TO THE CHALLENGE SO TOGETHER, WE MAY GET A LITTLE NAMEPLATE ON OUR USER-PAGES THAT STATES THAT WE KILL TYPOS!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and also the other purpose is so that we may have a more professional-looking website, but you know, meh. COmNOm (talk) 20:20, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Aye Pladge ta deestroy N E off da tipeos dat aye sea, wiv al my dakka. Exept dees wunS. --Arcade McAleney
  • i pledge to patrol the articles of the english wikipedia.--ethen 23:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I pledge to remove typos and errors that are illiterate. Illiteracy is something that should not be on Wikipedia or any other website on the internet. By joining the Typo Team on Wikipedia, I will respect and be true to this pledge. I pledge to seek and find typos on many articles of Wikipedia. Errors on Wikipedia won't be crossed out, errors will be removed from the article for good. By the pledge I have made, I will make sure that typos will be forbidden and illiteracy will be the very last thing on Wikipedia. I have made my agreements on behalf of the Typo Team, and I will leave an article when there is no more errors left on that page. By what I have said, I pledge to remove all errors and typos. JC Rules! (talk) 04:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Typos make me go rawr (in a bad way), and I shall do away with any and all that I see! Unless I'm too tired or lazy. Also, I try to be careful when I type so as not to have typos of my own, and I don't see why others can't do the same. Especially on MSN. Spelling errors are not typos, but they, too, make me go rawr, and I shall do away with them as well. NoriMori (ノリモリ) 17:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... my message to the generic typo: "He tasks me! He tasks me, and I shall have him! I'll chase him round the Moons of Nibia, and round the Antares Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up!" (Courtesy of Khan, of course!)

JoeBot is now doing this with AutoWikiBrowser so I'll bow out, and move my efforts over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation.
  • I used to get confused as to the correct spelling of "forty", so it's on my regular hit list. So is "valuable", and I'll be adding a new word to the list every week or two. --Estarriol 17:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Every time I get bored, I'll continue from where I left off in the list of common misspellings. Right now, I'm only on the letter 'a', so by the time I get back around to 'a' in about 100 years, it'll be good to go again. tv316 15:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will be looking for duplicates like "the the" and "that that".
  • Umm.. "that that" is not necessarily wrong. The reason I dislike this car, is that that other car was better. Not the best example of a sentence, yes, but it is still grammatically correct :) EuroSong talk 00:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Finished the ones from the March Data Dump.

That surely is a disasterous typo Rbarreira 12:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will any of you be terribly upset if I merely correct what I find without using any tools?

JimCubb 03:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will correct any typo I come across on Wikipedia, using the spell-check in Firefox and by searching on Google for mistakes. I will pay special attention to British vs American consistency in articles. Laerwen 05:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will use my skills and intuition in correcting every typo I come across when looking for such things. If I am unsure, I will use the spellcheck on my computer, and the web to compare with relevant websites. Coryma (Talk)
  • Every few weeks I fix /Ju(i)?l(l)?(i)?ard/. I ended up creating the article at Julliard, when I realized how often they really mean Editions Julliard. I also change Chumash to Humash, though if an article on a town in California means the Jewish sense, I may have missed it. These two tasks straddle the line between disambiguation and spelling, and I am more of a disambiguation faerie, but I fix a lot of spelling too. I just did a few dozen of Brittanica, but I won't make a habit of that. I'm just committing to Juilliard and Humash.— Randall Bart 23:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will correct any typos I come across in my normal browsing, as well as try to keep an eye out for consistency of usage (color/colour) in an article. Furthermore, I will check the Common misspelling list from time to time.gorffy 05:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll see what I can do. Ahahahaha. Okay, I pledge to use Mozilla Firefox to correct any spelling errors I come across. Furthermore, I will attempt to correct the spelling on 10 pages per day. Okay, maybe not. 5 a day. That I can be certain to do daily. BlueCanary9999 00:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999[reply]
  • I pledge to check for errors anytime I am editing a page.
Except when sounded as "ay", as in neighbor or weigh, of course. 208.200.176.2 17:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you're just weird. Admiral Memo (talk) 02:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to correct any spelling errors I find during the time I am on Wikipedia. One tool I use is Microsoft Outlook. I have a page in my drafts folder that I cut and paste to correct errors. --CrohnieGalTalk 13:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'll fight a one-editor campaign against "is been", correcting it variously to "is being", "has been", plain "is", or whatever seems appropriate, ditto "was been", "should of", "could of", "would of". And will continue to correct typos I fall over, anywhere on WikiPedia. PamD (talk) 13:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to correct all misspellings and typos I encounter

Runningblader (talk) 05:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I pledge to correct all spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors I come across

Elle (talk) 02:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I pledge to fix any tyop typo I encounter. I promise to fix typos that are even as minor as just adding a comma, space, etc. I hope that I will reach many mainspace edits because of this. And I hope that Wikipedia can be typo free.--RyRy5 Talk to RyRy? 18:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although I've been correcting typos, I pledge to continue correcting typos as I notice them upon first glance.Byankno1 (talk) 01:23, 26 April 2008
  • I pledge to fix any typos, grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and just plain bad English (or Russian) on sight!

--Dukakis (talk) 01:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I pledge to ruthlessly correct every grammatical error, spelling error, etc. that I come across in my wanderings. I will also make a great effort to rephrase sentences that I feel can sound more professional. IceUnshattered (talk) 00:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to correct typos, at first sight SPBLU
  • I hereby pledge to destroy typos at first sight with accuracy. Under no circumstances will I rest, until all typos on Wikipedia have been eliminated. leujohn 08:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to patrol spelling errors when I am too stressed out to deal with the drama that comes from AfD or vandal reporting. (Is it wrong that I just contemplated reorganizing this list to make the pledges chronological in one direction or the other?) --spazure (contribs) (review) 01:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pledge to find and correct as many typos that I can in Wikipedia Anlome 18:36 July 15, 2009
  • I pledge to correct any and every typo I come across on a Wikipedia page. Saira92 (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • When I am in that scary world which is the web outside Wikipedia, when I see a typo I find my mouse scurrying of its own accord to the top of the page trying to find an "edit" tab. Curiously when I am in Wikipedia, and I see typos, I think: is there anything serious which needs done to this page - like, say, a speedy delete tag? If there is not, I leave it to someone else to fix the tyops. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] ([[:User
