Summary:
Tooltip text should not end in a period. Per Apple's HI guidelines, prefer sentence fragments over complete sentences for help tags (tooltips):

I think the intent of this bug was a little vague. I tried to add some more specific pointers. Should be easy to fix up.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/Localizations/en.lproj/localizedStrings.js:270
> +localizedStrings["Edit cubic-bezier"] = "Edit cubic-bezier";

Edit 'cubic-bezier' function

> Source/WebInspectorUI/Localizations/en.lproj/localizedStrings.js:271
> +localizedStrings["Edit spring"] = "Edit spring";

Edit 'spring' function

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/DatabaseObject.js:-74
> -                    errorCallback(WebInspector.UIString("Database no longer has expected version."));

I don't think these strings should be changed if they are simply UIStrings for error messages. Do these have tooltips as well?

I am mainly concerned about button/action labels. These are neither.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/Resource.js:657
>          if (this._failed)

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/SourceMapResource.js:-97
> -                error: WebInspector.UIString("An error occurred trying to load the resource."),

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/SourceMapResource.js:-109
> -            return Promise.resolve({error: WebInspector.UIString("An error occurred trying to load the resource.")});

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DatabaseContentView.js:117
> +            message = WebInspector.UIString("Unexpected database version");

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DatabaseTableContentView.js:112
> +        this._messageTextViewElement = WebInspector.createMessageTextView(WebInspector.UIString("Error reading â%sâ table").format(this.representedObject.name), true);

Ditto

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/DatabaseUserQuerySuccessView.js:-41
> -            this.resultElement.textContent = WebInspector.UIString("Query returned no results.");

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/InlineSwatch.js:-40
> -            this._swatchElement.title = WebInspector.UIString("Click to open a cubic-bezier editor.");

I prefer:

Edit 'cubic-bezier' function
Edit 'spring' function
Edit custom gradient

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/ResourceContentView.js:-113
> -        this._contentError(WebInspector.UIString("An error occurred trying to load the resource."));

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/ResourceTimelineDataGridNode.js:-307
> -                descriptionElement.textContent = WebInspector.UIString("Resource failed to load.");

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/VisualStyleSelectorSection.js:62
> +        let addGlyphElement = useSVGSymbol("Images/Plus13.svg", "visual-style-selector-section-add-rule", WebInspector.UIString("New Rule"));

"Add new rule"

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/VisualStyleSelectorTreeItem.js:227
> +            this._checkboxElement.title = WebInspector.UIString("Disable Rule");

How about: "Comment out rule" / "Uncomment rule"
