I removed this sentence, which I didn't think was very clear, and replaced it with what I think is a more inclusive summary of what the book contains. I don't think the specific examples were all that useful as they were, but I don't have the book on hand to find any better ones. --Conspire 00:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Style guides infobox ... 

message: I looked here for naming conventions, and find that the Gold Shield has somehow prevented me from closing this tab in my browser (Netscape/Mozilla). The little cross to close the tab has gone, as well as the menu function to "Close this tab" has also been disabled
Can anyone explain why this is ? (it has automatically place the tab on the protected tabs list in my web-browser)
I am using Twinkle but cannot imagine this is causing the problem

thread_title:  Small problem 

message: This is the worst Wiki page for such an important book! I'd be happy to explain what the AP Stylebook is. Apparently, no one here has the guts to do so. Let me know. I speak "English."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.251.65 (talk) 02:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updating cover 

message: Hello all, 
I added some new additions to the definition due to some of the new changes AP has made to the style book. Such as the book being made every other year in print instead of every year. I added new additions and awareness to the Spanish edition of the AP Stylebook especially to the history section. I also added the section for the digital security content that was added to the AP Stylebook in the past year. References to the other titles such as the "journalist bible" or the "Manual de Estilo". Some grammatical erros were made as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennyg2021 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  New additions 

message: To be totally honest, the first sentence in that section reads like a (slightly morbid) corporate slogan—it even cites an Associated Press PR puff piece. I hate to be pedantic, but I think that sentence should get changed to something more neutral. ComradePingu1917 (talk) 16:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
