Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Reading schedule
This reading schedule is designed to assist editors in becoming familiar with Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
Benefits
Here are some ways in which you can benefit from this reading schedule.
- You can analyze how the style guidelines promote clarity and consistency in Wikipedia articles, and how they contribute to harmony among editors.
- There are many style guides.
- If you edit another language version of Wikipedia, then you can compare the guidelines for that language version with the guidelines for the English version.
- If you edit the English version of another Wikimedia project, then you can compare its guidelines with the guidelines for English Wikipedia. (See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Style guides on other Wikimedia projects.)
- If you use or have used a style guide of a university or a publishing company, then you can compare its guidelines with the guidelines for English Wikipedia.
- As you study each guideline, you can anticipate situations where you can apply it, and you can even contrive texts for practicing it in your own workspace.
- You can adopt a guideline, and devise search terms for finding errors needing correction. (Compare Wikipedia:Adopt-a-typo.) Alternatively, you can select articles (either at random or from lists or categories of your choice) and correct a variety of errors in each article.
