Nitpicks and worse:
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#features Under "What Will I Be Able"... "When you conquer a room in less steps than anybody else", "less" should be "fewer". Also, it's one of the commonest misconceptions among outsiders that H&S is restricted to paying CaravelNet members, when it is mostly free to all, and you seem to be furthering it. Likewise, one need not be a member to submit holds, only a forumite.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#sshold Actually, one may download Smitemaster's Selections via the Purchases tab in one's forum profile, since one might purchase those but not a CaravelNet membership.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#hints I suggest noting that one can still ask for hints despite this if one can click the room in the first place, and that workaround for secret rooms with the forum search.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#beta Actually, in every beta board there is a download link for the latest version near the top of the page.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#startbeta Secrecy definitely isn't the only reason to use a beta board, though it was likely the original purpose. Larry Murk, e.g. IIRC, has put all his holds in beta boards since they became available.

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#misc "suppost" should be "supposed".
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#smilies The colon you have in parentheses shows up as :). Disable smileys in that post, perhaps?
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#holduploaded I'd suggest warning them that the HAs have to approve changes, and they don't remove unintended solutions. Also, something bugs me about the title's grammar, but I can't quite specify it...
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#hints Definitely warn persons about secret rooms being hidden without CaravelNet progress uploaded, and possibly the secret forum-search workaround.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#rules "By the same token, making fun of other people's punctuation is probably a bad idea too." Given that previous exhortation to use proper spelling and whatnot, this may warrant removal.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#nextversion " now would you." should be ", now would you?"

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#injokes This section should really just be a link to here. Note that that page needs to be updated with Bad Evil Restaurant and with the 1.4.2007 Illumination prank. Oh, and mention That Really Annoying Hold and Good Nice Restaurant, while you're at it. Ooh, and that potato too. Please. :look

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=202765 Under Scripting, "all" should be "I'll".

Wow! Thanks for taking all the time to look through that! :) I'll definatley try to fix all those tomorrow. It's hard when you're editing someone else's work to catch everything.

Ok, I wasn't able to get around to it today, too much homework, but I most likely will be able to do it tomorrow after college and before our Roshashana dinner. I can already taste the brisket. :P

Also, good news, I can now edit old articles! Updates should be coming to old pages with the next major site update.

A few more:
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=203429#hints "Remember, though, that you can still ask for hints without CaravelNet; the notice that you haven't explored the room only affects whether or not you'll be able to see maps of that room or not."
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#smilies (:) still shows up as a smiley, and not a colon in parentheses.
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#holduploaded "Room Image, and" "unintended solutions; you'll "
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#hints "What you can do is head over to the forum"

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=204506#autologin Buy some M&Ms and put them in a big jar, then eat them with an ice cream scoop.

Ok, the two FAQs should now be devoid of all spelling and grammatical mistakes that aren't intentional.

...


I'm waiting for the inevitable list now.
