Guidelines and Manual of Style

Before jumping right into editing, we want you to keep a few things clear.

1. Keep good grammar at all times. Don't appear like a drooling moron who can't spell or capitalize anything, unless you actually a drooling moron who cannot spell or capitalize anything.

2. No subjective comments.

3. Photos are kind of difficult to add. Make it a small thumbnail (example on Walmart (College Station)). I've had some problems adding pictures via Safari for Mac.

4. Try writing in Source. Yes, it's a bit more difficult, but it's more accurate.

5. In terms of roads, for the roads intersected, write only the roads it has an interchange with (with ramps and exits), stopsigns, or stoplights.

6. Refer to all roads in their full name. Rock Prairie could refer to the name of the neighborhood, or the school, or the road. Rock Prairie Rd. is okay only if you have a redirect to Rock Prairie Road, the acceptable form.

7. All highways are to be abbreviated as so. Farm to Market roads are "FM", Business State Highway is "BS-", normal State Highways are "TX-", U.S. highways are "US-". If we had Business U.S. Highways, they'd be "BUS-" (BUS-290 is in Hempstead, for instance). If we had Interstate highways they would be "I-" (but we don't), and so on.

8. This is abbreviated "GaMoS", so if an edit is reverted, it will mention it.
