Hello Wiki,
Just wanted to check whether or not sub-editing is encouraged to ensure optimal user readability of articles? I'm a stickler for grammar and have already spotted a few articles with minor errors...but as they don't impact the factual correctness of the articles I wasn't sure what the rules are.
For example this sentence on Brad Pitt's page: His first leading roles in big-budget productions came with the dramas A River Runs Through It (1992) and Legends of the Fall (1994), and Interview with the Vampire (1994).
Should read: His first leading roles in big-budget productions came with the dramas A River Runs Through It (1992), Legends of the Fall (1994) and Interview with the Vampire (1994).
Thanks, Rockyrowdy (talk) 17:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

- Fixing grammar is always encouraged. If you're interested in that sort of thing, I suggest you head over to WP:GOCE and volunteer! Primefac (talk) 18:06, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Rockyrowdy! Yes, these kind of incremental improvements are welcomed—and encouraged—in articles. Feel free to make them; make sure you explain what you're doing in your edit summary. You may find that some articles have been protected to prevent new editors from making those changes; in those situations, you can request your edit on the article's talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 18:07, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
