- [x] 2.2.2: make title "Data Cleaning: Value statement" rather than just "Value statement"
- [x] 2.2.2: Remove second value statement.
- [x] 2.2.3 Benefits of clean data: Add a sentence to the end of 2.2.3.1. New final sentence: "Creating clean data sets involves steps in setting up your data organization and in reviewing data before analysis."
- [x] 2.2.3: The list of benefits of clean data in point 2 should appear as a bulleted list, rather than in-line as it currently does.
- [x] 2.2.3: The two papers under point 3 should appear as a bulleted list, rather than in-line. Link the title of each paper to where it is available to download online. (https://www.jstor.org/stable/bullecosociamer.90.2.205 for first paper, https://ojs.library.queensu.ca/index.php/IEE/article/view/4608 for second).
- [x] 2.2.5.1 (Best practices): in the italicized text in 2.2.5.1, replace "the first table in the box" in the first sentence with "Table 1". Replace "Species column" in the second sentence with "Observations column". In the third sentence, replace "the second table" with "Table 2".
- [x] 2.2.6 (Common cleaning procedures): In the first bullet under 2.2.6.2, the word "state" should be "stated".
- [x] 2.2.6: Edit the first sub-bullet point under the third 2.2.6.2 bullet (word of caution under "If you have a column with a date...") to read: "Word of caution: when working with international collaborators, check the format of dates. Many places use DD/MM/YYYY as the standard date format. The US uses MM/DD/YYYY as the standard date format." In the second sub-bullet, put "year, month, and day" in parentheses, so it reads "separate columns (year, month, and day), which can..."
- [x] 2.2.6.3: In the second sub-bullet under the bullet "If the column is text:", delete "by using dynamic tables" from the first sentence.
- [x] 2.2.7 (Summary): Replace the second sentence with: "You've now cleaned your data set, storing and presenting it in a way that will be easier to handle, reduce errors, and be easier for others to interpret - both future collaborators and those within your organization. Now that you've cleaned your data set, you are ready to start analyzing it."
A few ToC links appear broken -- to Section 2.2.2, 2.2.5, and 2.2.7 (the latter goes to 2.1.7)
