Fairy Tail Wiki:Grammar Guild

Grammar Guild
The Grammar Guild is a group of Fairy Tail Wiki users who have the clean-up task of correcting grammar on our articles by making sure the grammar within articles is correct and proper. All users should read over our Grammar Guidelines before you take any jobs!

Roles of the Grammar Guild
The following are the duties of the guild:


 * 1. To improve the grammar of our wiki's pages.


 * 2. To improve the syntax of our wiki's pages.


 * 3. To change past tense on our articles to present tense.


 * 4. To understand that grammar checks aren't a one-time thing, and unless the character is dead, the grammar work on their page will not end until the series itself ends.

Requests
If any non-members wish to see a particular page checked for grammar errors, then leave a message on the talkpage and the Guild Master or one of the S-Class Mages will add it to the list of jobs.

Process
Here at the Grammar Guild, you pick up jobs from the Jobs section below, and check the entire page for grammar errors and syntax mistakes. Each Job is worth a certain amount of Jewels, and at the end of the month, Ultraprime2 will tally all the jewels and whoever has earned the most Jewels in a particular month will be called the Mage of the Month. If you see a job that you want to take, simply put *Taken* and your signature beside it. Once you are finished, place *Job Completed* beside it, and it will be checked for completion.

If any members wish to take a particular page and check it for grammar errors, they should leave a message on the Guild Master's talk page and inform him of it and how much they wish to receive for it.

When signing up for a job please use instead of ~ so that your timestamp isn't left.

Joining the Grammar Guild
AS OF NOW, APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED. If you wish to join the Guild, fill out the application below and post it on the guild talk page, and after your application has been reviewed and accepted, the Guild Master or an S-Class Mage will add your name to the list of members. All users should be dedicated to referencing our wiki, and must not be anonymous users. If you wish to join the guild, you must create an account.

Excommunication from our Guild
Any users that go two months without earning at least 3,000 Jewels or more will be excommunicated from the Grammar Guild. When you are excommunicated, you must take our Guild's Badge off of your userpage within two days of being notified of your excommunication. If you do not remove it, one of your fellow Guild members will. Before a Guild Member is excommunicated, they must be warned at least 2 weeks in advance. The Guild Master or one of the S-Class Mages should handle this. Excommunications aren't permanent and if you wish to rejoin the guild, simply re-apply.

Grammar Guidelines
For a full page grammar edit, copy the page into Microsoft word, run the page through a spell check and judge whether or not the change it is telling you to make is actually a correct change. If so, go back into the actual article and make the change. Once you have gone through the spell check, give it a read through and make sure that everything flows and that you did not miss anything. Understand that not all users on this site are native English speakers, as such, the way they word things may not be the most understandable, BE SURE YOU CHECK AND FIX THAT!!
 * Please maintain the History sections of articles in the past tense. All other sections of an article should be placed in present tense.
 * Always use american convention.
 * If you come across any names that have not been changed to their proper form given in Kodansha's official volumes, please correct it. See Name Spellings for details.
 * Please make sure that names that are spelled with either of these characters (ōūó) are spelled correctly with the appropriate characters. For example Gatō not Gatou and Oración Seis not Oracion Seis.
 * Please change past tense to present tense EXCEPT in the history section.

Official Language
The content of this wiki is expressed in English. This is an English language wiki and all edits are expected to be carried out in English (with exception to the Japanese content required via technique, powers or skill names determined by the content of the series). This includes articles, forum posts, blogs and talk pages. If a user's second language is English and they are not apprised of correct grammar and sentence structure we can only ask that you have someone help you with the content you wish to provide here as editing will be extremely difficult if you can not properly understand or converse with others in the community. Such edits would likely end up undone as they cannot be understood.

Spelling in Words
There are many different types of English; such as: American English and British English. To prevent this from leading to conflicts, Fairy Tail Wiki chose American English as our main form of English. For more information, please see the examples below. Also see American and British English spelling differences on Wikipedia.
