Remove cleanup template?

Article reads clearly, no obvious errors. Remove cleanup? 71.199.233.118 06:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

While at a glance it could probably stand to have more superfluous links and {{citation needed}} templates, I'd say it's fine as is. Remember to be bold, young padawan. On second look there's one or two things not in-line with the Manual of Style, but it's hardly enough to warrant a {{cleanup}} template. --Xoid 06:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

While you're here… any idea why the Manual of Style insists upon "American this", "American that", yet advocates logical quotation over the American favoured "we'll mangle quotations by adding punctuation that may or may not alter the meaning"? --Xoid 07:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Frivolously snarky answer: because the American English spelling helps prevent edit wars over what is proper, by settling up front using the source material as the basis, but acknowledging that American grammar can often be wrong when it comes to handling context? Oh, BTW ,you mis-spelled 'favor.' --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 13:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Whether ending punctuation is on the inside or outside of the quotation marks is a stylistic choice. Also, I writez good. --Scaletail 15:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
