Small Inconsistencies

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have noticed that there are a lot of small mistakes, especially in the 'diagnosis' section. I have fixed a lot but left some of them alone. Hyphenated words and British English/American English inconsistencies were some that I thought could be disputable, so I did not fix those. It would be helpful if someone corrected all the hyphenated words to be one type maybe? Ex. nonbeliever or non-believer. I am aware that in many cases both would be correct, but I think it would look better if they were all the same. Beanlovergrace (talk) 18:03, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
