Misspelled CNN reporter name

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but there are 47 articles that misspell a CNN reporter's name in references as Arinne de Vogue instead of Ariane de Vogue. Annoyedhumanoid (talk) 02:35, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Neils51 (talk) 13:42, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Were they won

I've just changed 18 instances of "were they won" to "where they won". No false positives, worth a rule? Ϣere SpielChequers 08:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pick up "where the won" as well. Neils51 (talk) 16:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"not entirely eliminated"

In Special:Diff/1239101494, @Onel5969 "fixed" "entirely eliminated" to "eliminated" in the phrase "not entirely eliminated". I do believe this is incorrect, since removing "entirely" makes it sound like it was not eliminated whatsoever rather than only being eliminated in some instances. I suggest the rule here be changed to at least not remove "entirely" after "not". 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 16:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
