This is the ''Styletips'' project, which gives useful advice to editors on writing style and formatting in bite-size chunks from [[WP:MOS|the Manual of Style]] and related pages. For the complete schedule of Styletips, [[#Styletips scheduling queue|see below]].

Please place suggestions on the [[Wikipedia talk:Styletips|Talk page]]. The objective is to keep the focus of each tip narrow and to express it simply and briefly.
