Wiki Private Message: dot dot dot

Well I just shot off a quick PM to two excellent wiki editors who are helping big-time on our wiki task queue with some notes about small things regarding following our style guide.  After I sent it, I realized all of you wiki editors could benefit from reading it.  I realize I have tons of tiny PM conversations with people where we talk about details about wiki formatting (see below) that really should be available to everyone.  

Hey dudes: 
 
I was just going through the Avenger's page and I saw something grammatically incorrect that I wanted to point out. 
 
If you see a sentence like this under the Major Story Arcs: 

In Onslaught...  Many heroes including [etc]

We don't want the dot dot dot.  Should just be a comma and the word many should not be capitalized. Like so: 

In Onslaught, many heroes including [etc]

I just want to point this out because I fixed it in about 10 places on that page and I don't what that dot dot dot style to accidentally proliferate in more of our articles.   
  
Also I've noticed a bunch of sentenced toward the middle of the article highlighted in bold for no apparent reason.  We want to make sure we don't inject our own personal styles into our articles, it's actually what we're fighting to correct this year.  Our wiki became huge over the years, but it was also a mess because we didn't have a singular wiki style. 

Good work on that page!  I love you guys.  In yah know, a wiki brotherly way.

 I'm super duper excited about our wiki this year.  Look at the any top character page and you'll see that in the last 3 months it's been converted to our new wiki style guide.  On top of that, we're actively editing and polishing the grammar and wordsmithery in our articles.  I specially love landing on an obscure character and seeing the new style guide (Origin, Creation, Character Evolution, Major Story Arcs) providing structure to our articles.  Good work everyone!
