(i.e., “things” or “stuff” or “a lot”) ☐ I used the following words correctly? ☐ While/Although * ☐ There/their/they’re * ☐ Lets/let’s * ☐ As/because/since * ☐ To/too/two * ☐ Constantly/always vs consistently * ☐ Either/or; neither/nor * ☐ Your/you’re * ☐ Based off / based on/upon * ☐ That/which * ☐ Its/it’s * ☐ I used the “ed” past tense marker rather than “t”? (spelt/learnt/dreamt) * ☐ I used plural and possessive markers correctly every time? (s/’s/s’) * * Use find/replace function to check each of these! Sentence Structure Have I checked that: ☐ My sentences all make sense and are not awkward? ☐ My sentences are complete with neither fragments nor run-on sentences? ☐ My sentences do not end with prepositions (to/from/etc.)? ☐ My clauses agree in each sentence? ☐ Everything is in the same tense (past/present/future or, different tenses make sense) ☐ My pronoun use matches (including he/she vs their or they) ☐ Everything is singular or plural and matches throughout the sentence or paragraph ☐ I have consistently used either first, second, or third person perspective. I have avoided using vague generalized pronouns without explaining to whom those pronouns refer. ☐ In longer sentences where clauses are separated by commas (or semicolons), every clause in the list has the same structure. Punctuation and Conventions Have I checked that: ☐ Everything is spelled correctly? ☐ All sentences and proper nouns are capitalized? ☐ My end punctuation is correct and especially where it interacts with parentheses or quotation marks? ☐ I have used commas, semicolons, and colons correctly? Comma use does not result in strange clauses? I have not forgotten the commas for items in a list (including before the conjunction)? ☐ All quotation marks have both beginning and ending marks present. All direct quotes are contained within quotation marks or indented as block quotes if they exceed 42 words. ☐ My in-text citations are correct? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
