I don't doubt your intentions, the more useful resources there are the more the standards are raised but people will "interpret" / "get led by" / "take as gospel" information they receive when the source of the information is, in their eyes, authoritative. With this comes a responsibility to be factually accurate and be of unquestionable quality. Just look at the UK's current education system for the results of poor teaching, economically unproductive numpties who struggle to spell correctly.
I wouldn't worry too much about arguments, let it fall on deaf ears, but do heed knowledge and experience from seasoned coders here, after all, it's something you'll be expecting your readership to do ;) WSG is a very productive list for students of standards so you're definitely in the right place. I wish your magazine every success.

I would like to point out this is why I have turned to this site as a means to help out on my magazine to make sure all stuff is compliant. I was going to send an email next saying any articles that are made for my magazine if they were posted in these emails. If when people got a chance could please read and confirm all this. I do not mean to upset people and start arguments which some people would seem want to I just want a magazine that is easy to follow and keeps us to a line with compliant standards.
