Here are the AOW MOS rules:


 * Use proper spelling.
 * Use proper grammar.
 * Use clear, concise wording.
 * Capitalize the beginning of the title.
 * The title should be a clear match of the article's contents.
 * Capital letters are only used like they would be in normal sentences, unless it is part of a name.
 * Use parentheses to clarify article titles.
 * Do not start the title with articles (a, an, or the) unless it is part of the name.
 * Titles should be short.
 * Avoid special characters, and use ampersands (&) only if it is part of the name.
 * Section and subsection headings should be unique within a page.
 * Headings should not normally contain links, especially when only part of the heading is linked.
 * Spaces between the == and the heading text are optional ( == H2 == and ==H2== work the same), and will not affect anything to readers. Of course, BUL9 here prefers having no spaces, but that won't be a requirement. :-)
 * Include one blank line above the heading, for better readability in the edit window. Again, I prefer to not have a line after the heading, but it really doesn't affect anything. Only two or more lines above or below will affect the readable article.
 * Don't add poorly-sourced or false information.
 * Use italics or bold instead of all caps.
 * Generally, do not capitalize the definite article, unless in literary works according to common usage.
 * Months, days of the week, and holidays begin with a capital letter.
 * Write dates like August 23, 2010 or 23 August 2010, not 8/23/10 or anything like that.
 * Write down the full version and abbreviation and first occurrence.
 * Do not use unofficial abbreviations.
 * Use semicolons correctly.
 * Never use first person, unless in quotations.
 * Only use second person, i.e. you, during strategies and strategy sections.
 * Put quotation marks around all quotes. Use actual quotation marks instead of two apostrophes, or this will italicize the text.
 * Avoid linking in quotes.
 * Avoid slashes.
 * Use "No." instead of # and the numero sign (№).
 * Put spaces after, not before, punctuation marks.
 * Don't use words that can become outdated quickly (recently, soon). Instead, add the date.
 * Render single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine as words.
 * Render numbers greater than nine as figures or, with consistency within each article, render numbers over nine that take two words or fewer to say as words. Words may be preferable for approximations.
 * Render comparable quantities, mentioned together, either all as words or all as figures.
 * Render differently (with words or figures) adjacent quantities that are not comparable.
 * Costs should always be in numerical form.
 * Do not abuse comments, as in the only-viewable-by-editing type.

Everything listed in italics are all problems that I see, some of which aren't rules yet. AND I DON'T NEED SOMEONE AND MINH GETTING IN THE WAY!
