Re this: Thanks for catching the typos (which is actually, IMO, sort of the point of putting articles up for DYK; I've had many typos I otherwise missed cleaned up by both registered users and anons that way (I admit, it was a little embarrassing to have missed not one but two right in the lede ... Ouch!) Daniel Case (talk) 19:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to criticize your work − I know from experience how hard it is to spot typos in my own work. But I assumed that those who select articles for DYK checked them first. Now that I know otherwise, it explains my impression that DYK articles have more errors than Random Articles. Maproom (talk) 11:25, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- People do check them—in fact the guy who reviewed mine did a little cleanup—but it's not as systematic as it would be at a GA or FA. When I've done it, it's always been, if I see something that needs copy editing I'll do it, but I don't make a point of a full copy edit. Daniel Case (talk) 15:30, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I did a little clean-up. I missed those typos though. I'm not perfect, sue me. IvoShandor (talk) 11:33, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
