GENERAL STYLE GUIDELINES

Court Cases

Court case names should be italicized, and should use v. rather than vs. (which should not be italicized). The date should appear in parentheses after the case at first mention. For example, Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857). Subsequent mentions can be less formal but should still italicize the case name; for example, "the Dred Scott case."

Dates

Dates should be in the following style: February 23, 2001.

Centuries: Spell out in lowercase letters references to particular centuries. Spell out the word "century."

Circa: Use c. followed immediately by the date. (c. 1992)

Date range: Text style for date range is 1887-98. Use four-digit date for the second date in range only if the century changes: (1877-1904).

Note: Please use the full date range in the headers of "People" articles (see "Writing Your Article").

Months: Months should be spelled out in text, whether alone or in dates. In chronologies, notes, tabular matter, etc., they may be abbreviated using the 3 letter abbreviations: Apr. 12, 1997. (Note: June and July should be spelled out.)

Em-dashes and En-dashes

Use em-dashes sparingly.

Foreign words

Italicize if unfamiliar to reader. Do not use Greek, Hebrew, Arabic or Cyrillic material. Include the English translation of foreign words in parentheses when appropriate.

Names

Provide the full name of an individual at first mention (including middle names or maiden names, if known). Subsequent mentions can include just the last name of the individual.

Jr.: Style is comma between last name and junior (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Transliteration: Use the most common transliteration for Arabic, Chinese, etc. names.

Numbers

The numbers one through nine are spelled out, as are all numbers at the beginning of sentences. Other numbers should be in numeral format.
