:@[[User talk:Johan G]] Thank you for the advice! Sorry about removing the white spaces from the equals. Will not do that again, as I now see clealy that it confuses other readers. --[[User:Axlerate|Axlerate]] ([[User talk:Axlerate|talk]]) 05:10, 7 September 2019 (EDT) | :@[[User talk:Johan G]] Thank you for the advice!

I have also looked at the changes by Grammarly. My opinion is that it could be used to identify issues, and then these issues are manually fixed. The reason is because some articles are maintained by speakers of non-American dialects and, if you don't set the dialect correctly, Grammarly will change text which is perfectly correct (this sentence being such an example). | |||
Another issue I found is with [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Submitting_Screenshots&diff=prev&oldid=120277 these changes]. Most of these changes are not correct. These are lists where the sentence continues across the list. So from the following | |||
{{note| | |||
By submitting a screenshot the submitter agrees to these terms: | |||
* The creator of the screenshot retains full ownership and copyright. | |||
* The creator grants the FlightGear project revocable and non-exclusive copyright, which permits the project | |||
** to add a copyright notice to the screenshot, which denotes the FlightGear project as a copyright holder[1], | |||
** to persecute copyright infringement on behalf of the screenshot creator[2]. | |||
}} | |||
you can construct one sentence as | |||
{{note| By submitting a screenshot the submitter agrees to these terms: The creator grants the FlightGear project revocable and non-exclusive copyright, which permits the project to persecute copyright infringement on behalf of the screenshot creator[2].}} | |||
After the Grammarly changes, this becomes: | |||
{{note| By submitting a screenshot the submitter agrees to these terms: The creator grants the FlightGear project revocable and non-exclusive copyright, which permits the project '''T'''o persecute copyright infringement on behalf of the screenshot creator[2].}} | |||
This is a big fail for Grammarly, and why page corrections should not be fully automated. | |||
As for protected pages, if the changes are important, I would suggest describing the changes in the 'Discussion' or 'Talk' pages. [http://wiki.flightgear.org/User_talk:Johan_G#Introduction Admin privileges] are rarely given, and only to those people well known to the project (generally after joining one of the core group video conferences). There are also thousands of non-protected pages that could be improved. | |||
