Style

Hi Multikillerbot, thanks for your edits on military-related articles, they're very thorough. I just wanted to raise a minor style point: you should leave a space after punctuation marks, like this.

In general it's a good idea to try and follow the stylistic conventions used in other articles and described in the Manual of Style, to keep things consistent. Usually the choice of one convention over an other is arbitrary, but consistency of presentation is important for readability and a general look of professionalism.

Also I'd encourage you to get into the habit of citing your sources as much as possible. Referencing is a pain, but it is necessary for fact-checking and useful to readers if they want to find out more. It's especially important for details such as dates and numbers where non-canonical information from adaptations can seep into articles without being properly marked. See Help:References on how to do it. Unfortunately if you add a lot of information without citing a source it's likely your contributions will be removed or rewritten down the line when another editor works on the article and can't find where the information comes from.

Thanks. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 11:18, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
