I have a PhD in English and a BS and MS in a biomedical field. I have contributed to Wikipedia under previous IDs for over 7 years. I am strongly in favor of rigorous language standards such as the Chicago Manual of Style (especially the section on the use of the comma), the MLA Style Manual, and, in some cases, the Oxford Style Manual. For medical topics I espouse the American Medical Association Manual of Style (especially the section on commas and similar punctuation), which is more scientific and linguistically precise than jounalism-oriented manuals of style (which commonly ignore most rules of English grammar). For scientific articles I also espouse scientific journal style rules, which are far more precise and rigorous than the sloppy vernacular in common usage by a public largely undeducated in the rules of English grammar.
I am very much opposed to bot-oriented vandalism on Wikipedia that stems from use of "style rules" that violate most rules of the English language (because they are derived from journalism guides that are suited to small space layouts, not to formal sentence construction).
An encyclopedia ought not use bastardized language conventions as its modus operandi and must not allow bots (such as ClueBot) to systematically and automatically bastardize its content.
