Most. Not all.

It's still a grammar mistake, regardless if you deem it unimportant. We would be doing people who don't immediately notice and are confused a disfavor by not giving them an opportunity to stop for a second, examine the sentence and come to their own conclusion.

It's a completely unimportant mistake that does not actually get noticed by most readers. Especially in a quote like that, it is a grammar mistake, but you have to judge these things by if they improve the article or if they actively detract from it. Adding a {{sic}} to the end of the entire sentence implies something is also wrong with the overall grammar or spelling and not just a period missing at the end. In this case, it is mindlessly applying a sic because it is a grammar issue therefore it needs to be there, even though it detracts from the reading experience. I read the sentence 3 or 4 times just to see what exactly was the issue and couldn't find it until it was pointed out in the undo.

Fair, but in that case the wiki should stop applying sics to Red and Blu like it often does, as that, I imagine, is much more brain-wacking to your average reader who probably doesn't even know that Blu isn't a colour but an acronym and therefore capitalized.

I've been removing those most of the time, I don't think they are worth using sic for as they are so common.
