-Spell checking documentation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-When contributing to documentation to **pandas** it's good to check if your work
-contains any spelling errors. Sphinx provides an easy way to spell check documentation
-and docstrings.
-
-Running the spell check is easy. Just navigate to your local ``pandas/doc/`` directory and run::
-
-    python make.py spellcheck
-
-The spellcheck will take a few minutes to run (between 1 to 6 minutes). Sphinx will alert you
-with warnings and misspelt words - these misspelt words will be added to a file called
-``output.txt`` and you can find it on your local directory ``pandas/doc/build/spelling/``.
-
-The Sphinx spelling extension uses an EN-US dictionary to correct words, what means that in
-some cases you might need to add a word to this dictionary. You can do so by adding the word to
-the bag-of-words file named ``spelling_wordlist.txt`` located in the folder ``pandas/doc/``.
