"Principal Drawing" is correct.
As is "principal production areas". As is "landscape in the WWII era". This makes no sense:
And many of your other "corrections" are not so much corrections as stylistic alternatives (e.g. Jesus's/Jesus'). |

My bad, for even I can make mistakes.
I disagree, the writer used both Jesus's and Jesus' in his article, and I assume it would be grammatically correct of him to use only one form instead of both, hence. |

This thread is getting really bizarre. A lot of it is you saying stuff like "this" should be "this" where there is no difference between what you're saying I should change and what was written. You're also asking for changes to be made on articles from more than a decade ago, and encyclopedia articles which have their own forum for things like that. Also - and just so you know - I don't care what your style choices would be when it comes to editorial. Spelling, sure. Style, no. It's not that I don't appreciate what you're trying to do, but maybe you need to double-check a lot of your "corrections" before you post them and I'm going to lock this up if you keep going with the crazy "intended reference" should be "intended reference" posts that make absolutely no sense and aren't correcting anything. |
