Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress wiki! We're always glad to have another editor fixing things around here.--Loci (talk) 20:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Colon Usage
Regarding this sentence from DF2014:Adamantine:
- "Adamantine has extreme material properties: it is nigh weightless (weighing about as much as cork), extremely strong, and razor sharp."
The characteristics following the colon describe/explain the extreme material properties stated in the first part of the sentence. It is not necessary to separate those two closely-related thoughts into two sentences. Wikipedia has more information on proper colon usage.
It is also unnecessary to double-space after a period. That "rule" is an unfortunate hold-over from typewriters; modern computers can properly space sentences automatically. In fact, the wiki software completely disregards extra spaces.--Loci (talk) 20:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
