=== Pay attention to spelling === {{Main|Wikipedia:Spellchecking}} '''Pay attention to spelling''', particularly of new page names. Articles with good spelling and proper grammar can help encourage further contributions of well-formed content. Proper spelling of an article name will also make it easier for other authors to link their articles to your article. Sloppiness begets sloppiness, so always do your best. * Browsers have the native ability to highlight misspelled words in text boxes. * Use free online dictionaries like [http://www.askoxford.com/ Ask Oxford], [http://www.dictionary.com/ Dictionary.com], [http://www.onelook.com/ Onelook.com], [//www.google.com/help/features.html#definitions Google Define] and a spell checker such as [http://www.spellcheck.net/ SpellCheck.net], [http://www.gingersoftware.com/spellcheck GingerSoftware], or your browser's built-in spell checker. See [[Wikipedia:Typo Team]] for tips on how to use these resources. * Articles may also be spell-checked in a word processor before being saved. A free word processor may be obtained from [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice.org] or [https://www.libreoffice.org/ LibreOffice.org]. * A "draft" message on certain free email websites, such as [https://www.gmail.com/ Gmail], can also provide spell-check. This might be convenient, especially regarding email websites with which you are already familiar and use often.
