As some of you may know. I am a huge CollectA collector, so i decided to try something diffrent to them by trying to make a library of fact sheets about the species
based on the figures.

my first attempt is the CollectA Irritator


Feel free to correct me on any scientific Errors. this is only a rough draft

You forgot to duoble-spce between "name means" and "found in." Also, you said "related too" when it should be "related to." Sorry, I'm a grammar freak. ;D

By most rules of formatting and punctuation, the double space after a colon (or period) is now considered optional (by some grammar-rule-makers, at least). In fact, in many places the use of a double space is outright frowned upon for thesis and manuscript submission (got to keep those characters in check...okay, I really don't know the reasoning).

Cool, but why restrict this project to hard copy? You could launch a little blog or website and reproduce your sheets there too  :)

Cool project!  Perhaps you could include a list of what companies make figures of the given species.

These are great! (I prefer just one space following colons - I feel it looks more uniform.)  The idea is a good one, and it's a fun way to keep track of your collection as well.  (And for some, it'd be a great teaching tool too.  I mean you'd have the actual models on hand, so the kids would have something tactile to associate with the information.) Are you pulling your info from wikipedia?

"Name means: Irritator" made me chuckle. Although only because it's accurate.

Since we're all being pedants, it's 'piscivore'.

I did forget that bit--no matter what, the character and spacing use should be consistent throughout.

I don't think Deadtooth was referring to the spacing after the colon. I think what he meant was that it should be:

Name means: Irritator

Found in: South America

instead of

Name means: Irritator
Found in: South America

Since this is the format between all the other subheadings.
