Wikipedia's Manual of Style

The Manual of Style (often abbreviated MoS or MOS) is a style guide for all Wikipedia articles. This page and its subpages cover certain style topics (such as punctuation) in full, and presents the key points of others.

I often wondered how the pages on Wikipedia are so precisely and well written. While browsing, I came across Wikipedia's page on "words to watch" and from there I landed on its Manual of Style.

It is an excellent guide providing lots of examples and reasons …

Bill Gates: Absolutely....In my 20's and 30's, during the creation and my hyper-focus on Microsoft, I read a little bit of science...but I had to know one thing super, super well. And so I've been able to broaden my being up-to-date on science and meet with great scientists as part of this foundation work, and that's a real pleasure.

Charlie Munger on projections

Mark Twain used to say “A mine is a hole in the ground with a liar on the top.”

And a projection prepared by anybody who stands to earn a commission or an executive trying to justify a particular course of action will frequently be a lie – although it’s not a deliberate lie in most cases. The man has come to believe it himself. And that’s the worst kind. Projections should be handled with care – particularly when they’re being provided by someone who has an interest in misleading you.” –Charlie Munger (quoted in the book Seeking …
