Reference:1655: Difference between revisions
| [checked revision] | [checked revision] |
1655 audit fixes. (1) Strip <code>...</code> wrappers around reference numbers and ALL CAPS dial-text terms — inconsistent with peer refs (5512/5513/1016/14270 etc.) which use plain text. (2) Categories: Explorer-Ii → Explorer II, working-draft → Working Draft, drop redundant References category. (3) Normalize Mk1-Mk5 → Mark 1-Mark 5 across body prose for consistency with other multi-Mark dial taxonomies (1675, 5513, 14270). Image placement L14 left untouched per audit Rule 3. |
Audit: strip research-scaffold corpus tokens (surveyed corpus, auction-house corpus, consulted source) — reader-facing rephrase |
