The remaining are, 

```
pandas.ExcelWriter: Parameter ".. versionadded" requires a space before the colon separating the parameter name and type
pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.boxplot: Parameter "subplots " requires a space before the colon separating the parameter name and type
pandas.set_option: Parameter "value " requires a space before the colon separating the parameter name and type
```
@gfyoung  The remaining cannot be done as fixing them  introduce trailing  spaces.
thanks @srinivasreddy
