Whoever wrote the article has written 'commen' a bunch of times when the correct spelling is 'common'. Charlatan.

I've just had a reply from a Curator, and they've pointed out the reason why it wasn't corrected; it's not part of the published, or Edited Guide.
Whilst it looks very polished, it never got through the process to make it into the proper Guide. At the moment it's just an article that some Researchers cobbled together.

It looks like the Entry that made it into the Guide is A139033, where the spelling mistakes have been corrected.

I hope that makes sense - let me know if you need any more information. smiley - ok

smiley - fairy
