Misspelled CNN reporter name

[edit]

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but there are 47 articles that misspell a CNN reporter's name in references as Arinne de Vogue instead of Ariane de Vogue. Annoyedhumanoid (talk) 02:35, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Were they won

[edit]

I've just changed 18 instances of "were they won" to "where they won". No false positives, worth a rule? ϢereSpielChequers 08:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pick up "where the won" as well. Neils51 (talk) 16:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"not entirely eliminated"

[edit]

In Special:Diff/1239101494, @Onel5969 "fixed" "entirely eliminated" to "eliminated" in the phrase "not entirely eliminated". I do believe this is incorrect, since removing "entirely" makes it sound like it was not eliminated whatsoever rather than only being eliminated in some instances. I suggest the rule here be changed to at least not remove "entirely" after "not". 1234qwer1234qwer4 16:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Common alternative but not WP:NC names

[edit]

Would it be fine to add a rule that replaces, say, Shi'iteShia, given it's the form used by Shia Islam itself, and assuming there are no edge cases that escape me? It's not a typo per se, but it seems in bounds for what AWB does. Remsense ‥  23:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
