"Now do that you're a full-blooded Researcher,..." should be "Now due that you're a full-blooded Researcher,..."
Actually, I don't know where I am supposed to really submit a typo, as I am new to the structure of this site, which should be fairly obvious since I am reading this page

I suspect this is a good a place as any to mention the typo - someone italic will be subscribed to this page I am sure - if not, I will find one for you...
If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask vp

Oh, so there is no standard way of indicating a typo? I would have expected one, for a guide made out of public contributions and being continuously edited. But then, this is probably not the most fundamental question, especially since its answer is not 42, and that really there was no question, just pointing out to a typo, and suggesting a wrong correction ("do" should be completely emoved from the sentence, I guess).
Btw, thanks for the (I was worried, I expected a poem)

We are indeed subscribed to this page. We're subscribed to all the Help pages.
<./>Feedback-Editorial</.> is the best place to point out typos on Edited Entries because we don't subscribe to them.
I've removed the 'do'. Thanks for pointing it out.

There's no typo - neither 'do' or 'due' ought to be there. It looks OK to me. However, most pages aren't currently 'continuously edited' - we haven't got a full-bodied Updaters scheme yet, but it might not be so far off...
Whoami?

You're right about the Updaters scheme, but we do make sure that Help Pages are correct as soon as we are aware of errors.

Fair comment. How are you, Mina? I've got an afternoon off. I might get my batch done and make some more Feature Suggestions .

You also could call these new volunteers 'Typographers', since I guess that they should not change any actual contents of Edited Entries, only correct whatever type mismatches might have been overlooked earlier (there always are typos remaining everywhere in the Galaxy, and the Galaxy is a big place).

I'm all right thanks Whoami? Working hard today, although still worried about my chimney and lack of TV though.

Mina: Good Luck!
Hornord: The Updaters would also be dealing with just that - updates. For Entries on bands, science, countries, people who are still alive, and so on. The world changes...
Whoami?
