I think you just add your name on to the list. And don't forget the four tildes (~) when you leave talk page comments, but you've probably realised that. :) Lewis512 (talk) 23:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UK and US spelling

Please note: Wikipedia does not favour either US or UK spelling. For the benefit of American spelling fascists, let me rewrite that. Wikipedia does not favor either US or UK spelling. Do not go through articles changing one to the other and claiming it is a "typo correction". Perhaps this group should issue a reminder to all of its members in this regard.

Typo team

Wow we got a big team here. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 04:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder how many are actually active? Hopefully more than appear on the list! Plastikspork (talk) 22:09, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I dunno. Maybe that typo-fixing bot made them obsolete. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 12:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I refuse to be replaced by a machine. Although, I will allow myself to be assisted by a machine as long as I get to keep my job. Plastikspork (talk) 21:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. :) No bot will ever be better than a competent editor. Hey that rhymes! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 07:54, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling and grammar?

Is grammar included in the typo team? Or should I make a grammar team? Grammar errors stick out to me just as much as spelling errors, and I feel the need to correct those as well. Paperfork ♠ 13:10, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updated count

I updated the count. I got 643 active members, 7 retired and 1 semi-retired member. (Total=651)
Should I include the retired and semi-retired members on the count or leave it how it is?
Current count: 643 Members (plus 7 retired and 1 semi-retired)[1] — dargereldren Talk Contribs Guestbook 20:37, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I say we drop the 'retired/semi-tired' bit and just have a plain total count. -- Ϫ 02:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with OlEnglish. It's simple and it also gives the most accurate indication of how many people have an expressed interest in actively correcting typos. And thank you Dargereldren for taking the initiative to make the update. Senator2029 | talk | contributions 10:21, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It there an automatic counter of the number of members? Tabletop (talk) 10:37, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure one can be coded. -- Ϫ 09:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Members who do not use the userbox?

Should they be included? Are they even members? For example, User:Adjusting (just a random example, and he's definitely a member here, but without a userbox on his page).--Adûnâi (talk) 17:02, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What’s a user box? Adjusting (talk) 00:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
