Comicbase Database Style Guide

[Fred Slota]

We need a style guild. 

 

A collected list of the grammar, punctuation, syntax and vocabulary used throughout the database.

Things like

• Titles don't start with "A", "An" or "The"
• We use the ellipses, not a triple period
• When to use flat versus curly quotes
• wraparound, not "wrap around" or "wrap-around"
• People with initials are entered "A. B. Smith", and not "AB Smith" or "A.B. Smith"
• Names are entered "First Last" and not "Last, First"
• Lists of Names do not use "&" or "and" between them.

It would be great if the program enforced these things.  But it doesn't.
