  • might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).^[?]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• The script has spotted the following contractions: doesn't, couldn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.

I've made the relevant changes per these suggestions. I would appreciate if someone could overlook the article some more to make sure they have all been made and point out any other problems they see with it so that they can quickly be changed. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 03:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
