I believe the two "U"'s were used to imply that that support Cloyster is used for the UU metagame; however, I still changed it because Closyter is pretty much only used in the UU metagame, so it doesn't really make sense.
I think I fixed it.

There's a error in the very last sentence of the Optional Changes Section

There should be a space between are and generally.
Absol is not listed as having the move Superpower, yet it is advised in all of Absol's analyses, and in fact can be learned by Absol. Superpower does not show up here (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/absol/moves) or here (http://www.smogon.com/dp/moves/superpower). Thanks for your time
Edit: P.S. (Evidence) Absol learns Superpower by a move tutor in Platinum, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver. Source: (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Absol), direct quote:

I wasn't sure where to place this, and it may have already been re-uploaded and just not shown up yet, but the recently uploaded Elekid analysis ( http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/elekid ) has no move showing for any of its movesets.
I think I got this. I think it was the spacing of the format making it mess up.
Hi Smogon,
http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/rain_offense
A couple small errors in the "Rain Offense Guide":
1) In the "Rain Sweepers" section, under the "UU", the piece on Qwilfish has a couple errors:
a)
b)
2) In the "Conclusion":

A couple small errors in the "Rain Offense Guide":
1) In the "Rain Sweepers" section, under the "UU", the piece on Qwilfish has a couple errors:
a)
The phrase "coming of a a" should be "coming off a".
b)
I'm pretty sure it should be "Kabutops' " or "Kabutops's" X-Scissor. However I'm not sure what the author is trying to refer to exactly, whether it's the case of Kabutops and X-Scissor (separate but related), or Kabutops' X-Scissor (the X-Scissor of Kabutops).
2) In the "Conclusion":
I believe it should be "most poorly", or even "more poorly", instead of "poorest".
I found a few easy to fix grammar mistakes on Jynx's DPPT analysis (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/jynx):
In the Choice Specs set, the author writes, "The last two slots are filled by a Fighting and Ghost move which is unresisted by any Pokemon."
I think if we were to change it to "The last two slots are filled by a Fighting and Ghost move, a combination unresisted by any Pokemon." or something along those lines, it would flow better and be grammatically correct.
In the Choice Scarf set, the author writes, "The extra Speed will allow you to revenge kill potential threats to your team that might not be possible if using another set. (Such as fast Flying-types like Aerodactyl, Swellow or Jumpluff)."
All we need to do on this one is simply get rid of the parentheses and add a comma-
"The extra Speed will allow you to revenge kill potential threats to your team that might not be possible if using another set, such as fast Flying-types like Aerodactyl, Swellow or Jumpluff.
In the Counter Set-
"you'll find that 100% accurate Blizzard more up your alley than Ice Beam."
My guess is the author left out the key word "is" in between "Blizzard" and "more," otherwise this sentence is just poorly worded.
In the Offensive Calm Mind set-
"Ice Beam however, may be used to hit Claydol harder, and extremely damage Altaria, and Grass-types, if they threaten your team in particular."
This sentence is very poorly written, and on the given moveset it doesn't have where it should go (as in Psychic / Ice Beam).
Just a proposed rewrite- "If you feel your team is particularly threatened by Claydol, Altaria, or Grass-types, you can use Ice Beam instead of XXXXX for better coverage."
Just a small change while I'm at it, in the Other Options section, "...more than your other attacks; though they’ll be lucky..." doesn't need the semicolon, as the second half isn't a sentence.
I know Jynx is relatively minor, but I recently decided I wanted to contribute to the site, and I've got to start somewhere.

Hi Smogon,
Little Cup Speed Tiers
In the table of contents at the beginning of the article, the link to the "Tier 1 (+1 Pokemon and +2 Pokemon with 30 to 100 Base Speed)" section reads "Tier 1 (+1 / +2 users 30 ro 100 Base Speed)"
In the first paragraph of the "Getting Started" Section:
In the second paragraph of the "Getting Started" section:
Again, from the second paragraph of this section:
The last two sentences from this section:
This article also refers the reader to Little Cup analysis pages, but does not provide a link to them. Perhaps one could be added?

In the table of contents at the beginning of the article, the link to the "Tier 1 (+1 Pokemon and +2 Pokemon with 30 to 100 Base Speed)" section reads "Tier 1 (+1 / +2 users 30 ro 100 Base Speed)"
In the first paragraph of the "Getting Started" Section:
"out speed" should be "outspeed" (one word). Also, it may not be a big deal, but the sentence before refers to "the Speed of your Pokemon". Perhaps here too (for the sake of consistency) it should be "your Pokemon's maximum Speed" rather than just "your maximum Speed".
In the second paragraph of the "Getting Started" section:
The highlighted commas should be semicolons, or conjunctions such as "because as much as..." or "and there are relatively..." should be used, because [independent clauses stuff]. This also applies to the sentence below, quoted from the same section:
Also, a comma should be put after "for example".
Again, from the second paragraph of this section:
The "not" should be "note".
The last two sentences from this section:
I think it's awkward and unnecessary to have this as two sentences. It can simply be combined into one sentence: "The other main number is 14, which is the..."
This article also refers the reader to Little Cup analysis pages, but does not provide a link to them. Perhaps one could be added?
'most anything'? Should probably be, "Gorebyss's Special Attack is certainly impressive, and its movepool, while not particularly large, is sufficient to annihilate most Pokémon it should encounter"
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/gorebyss
Or "almost anything"

Donphan's OU Choice Band analysis states "This set provides the best possible type coverage, as nothing resists the combination of Earthquake, Stone Edge and Assurance."
Breloom does.

Just a small typo in the OU Optional Changes section for Donphan:
Counter could be a devaistating (it should be devastating) surprise for an opponent who thinks they can take out Donphan with boosted attacks,

In the Utility section for Omastar:
Adding this set to a Rain Dance team might seem plausible, but know that you have low Special Attack investment, and will be using up three turns of rain to lay down entry hazards.
According to the set, there is no special attack investment whatsoever (252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpD and a Bold nature). It's just misleading if anything.
