Comment (by bradparbs):

 Opened a PR to make some of these strings more consistent, along with some
 notes below on the different things brought up in this ticket, most of
 which have been resolved since this ticket was opened.



 ----




 > 3) We have strings "No results found." (twice) and "No matches found."
 One string would be better instead of three similar strings?
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > 4) String "Show header text with your image." is not accurate. You can
 show header text without header image.
 **Resolved in patch**

 > 5) There are similar strings "File doesn’t exist?" and "File
 “%s” doesn’t exist?".
 **File “%s” doesn’t exist? is only used in a depercated
 function.**

 > 5a) Also "File is not an image." and "File “%s” is not an
 image."
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > 6) And for 3.5 we could remove one of following: "Could not read image
 size." and "Could not read image size"
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > 7) We have strings "Site URL" and "Home URL". And we have also similar
 strings with the same meaning "Site Address (URL)" and "WordPress Address
 (URL)". Could we merge them?
 **Handled in separate trac ticket**

 > 8) We have also similar strings "Alt Text" (media modal) and
 "Alternative Text" (TinyMCE).
 **Resolved in patch**

 > 9) Similar strings: "Create Gallery" and "Create a new gallery"
 **Used for different actions**

 > And for 3.5 we could remove one of these: "Select files" and "Select
 Files".
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > Similar strings: "Advanced Rich Editing" and "Advanced use of the Rich
 Editor"
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > Similar strings: "Basics of Rich Editing" and "Rich Editing Basics"
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > 11) There are 3 similar strings: "Drop files here", "Drop files to
 upload" and "Drop files anywhere to upload".
 **Only "Drop files to upload" is used, other strings are for translator
 context**

 > Similar strings (maybe not used anywhere): "Add an Image" and "Add
 images", "Add Video" and "Add Audio" (TinyMCE).
 **Resolved in patch**

 > Similar strings: "Error" and "Error " (with space).
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > Same meaning: "Link URL" (old media) and "Link To" (new media modal).
 **Resolved in patch**

 > 12) Similar strings: "Use as featured image" (this string is no longer
 used?) and "Set featured image".
 **Used for `set_featured_image` and `use_featured_image` post type
 labels**

 > Similar strings: "Don’t forget to click on the Save Changes button
 when you are finished." and "Don’t forget to click “Save
 Changes” when you’re done!"
 **Resolved in patch**

 > 13) "Invalid user ID." and "Invalid user ID".
 **Resolved at some point in the past years**

 > Same strings, different HTML: "Loading…" and "Loading…"
 **Resolved in patch**

 > Need more help? <a href="%s">We got it</a>. Need more help? <a
 href='%s'>We got it</a>.
 **Resolved in patch**
