- External links only belong in the External links section.
- It is recommended not to specify the size of images. The sizes should be what readers have specified in their user preferences.
- Text should not be sandwiched between two adjacent images. (GA criteria)
- Left-aligned images should not be placed at the start of subsections.
- All fair-use images need a fair use rationale. (GA criteria)
- Images need succinct captions. (GA criteria)
- An image caption should only end with a full-stop if it forms a complete sentence. (GA criteria)

- Lists should only be included if they can't be made into prose or their own article. (GA criteria)
- Lists within prose should be avoided. (GA criteria)
- En dashes are used for ranges, unspaced em dashes or spaced en dashes are used for punctuation.
- "
" (non-breaking space) should be typed between numbers and units. - Imperial measurements should be accompanied by the metric equivalent in brackets, and vice versa. If possible, use a convertion template, eg. {{convert|5|mi|km|0}}.
- Whole numbers under 11 should be spelled out as words, except when in lists, tables or infoboxes.
- Sentences should not start with a numeral. The sentence should be recast or the number should be spelled out.
- Only the first word in a section heading needs a capital letter (except in proper nouns).

- "century" doesn't have a capital.
- "While" should only be used when emphasising that two events occur at the same time, or when emphasising contrast. It shouldn't be used as an additive link.
