Anyone else got a lot of these? :
…People just putting a period behind every title?
I feel like having a 50% chance of an agreement on these things. Does skipping reviews cost agreements?
I dont think we get any agreements for edits anyway
Skipping doesnt affect anything, so you can skip if you want to

Well, it might be the reverse: People removing excess periods from titles.

Vote to remove the period. It bothers a lot of people.

you can get agreements for edits. this is why your total upgrade process will always be higher than the sum of the 3 agreement numbers on your profile.

Hmm okay will stop skipping them so much. Maybe that was my impression because they are less “agreeable” quite often ie 5 different spots on a map and Im supposed to pick one when they’re all basically the same, well 80% chance Im getting a disagreement there isnt there 
sure it’s not easy at all to figure out how exactly an agreement might be granted for some of these edits

No. Periods. In. Titles.

I’ve actually corrected some titles with periods at the end, and they typically get approved by ML. I don’t quite understand why some add periods to titles, as it looks messy to me.
There’s also some that put quotation marks around the title or part of it. Just reviewed a title edit for a carved rock art piece that had quotations in it, and felt they weren’t needed.

The quotes bother me too. Because then when you sort keys by title, the quote goes to the beginning. So “Vulture Statue” would be among your first keys, instead at the last where you’d expect.

Great points and at least in English it makes sense to not have trailing “periods.”
Keep in mind it’s always nuanced. If the artist provides an official title that includes quotation marks or full stop punctuation, that should be included, regardless of opinions or “proper” local grammar.

Yep, I don’t play Ingress, but I know that it can mess with keys. The one I voted on is titled High Roller, as it’s a rock with dice cubes carved into it, and I selected the one without quotation marks. It’s High Roller on Lightship, so don’t know if the edit was approved or if the “High Roller” title was newly submitted.
And yes @Gendgi, it does depend on the language used…Why do you have to remind me of how bad I was in 3rd year Spanish? 
I did a month of Duolingo to prep for Madrid GO Fest. I was proud of being able to say “Un café, sin azúcar, sin leche, sin sal, por favor” and my coworker taught me “Seis cervezas, por favor.” Unfortunately, when the server kept asking if I wanted “Una cerveza más?” I didn’t know how to say “No” in Spanish

At one point in my life, I could order beer in 12 languages, dreaming of using that knowledge one day. I’ve visited exactly zero of those countries. Sigh lol

Oops, I’ve added quote marks to the title of a mural submission before because part of it was italicised and I couldn’t do italics in the title. Didn’t think of how it would affect sorting.

If it was correct in the first place and then suggested an edit to make it wrong, then I click Accuracy - Abuse.
I did see a dumb edit that was perfectly fine until someone suggested a spelling change from “Family” to Famiky.
How are you verifying whats the current version?

I think you may be misunderstanding how the edit information is presented to reviewers. The order that options appear in is randomised - try coming out then in to a review again. Also try switching the show the difference toggle off and you may interpret what you see differently.
In your example of family and famiky it is far more likely that famiky is the original with a small typo between two letters next to each other. Easy to do on a small screen in less than ideal conditions that doesn’t have a spell checker.
And easy to fix with a simple edit.
Check the correct option and submit.

If you refresh the edit, you will see that the order can change. It just highlights differences between the suggestions, not actually what is being added or removed.
