| == dash it == | |||
| Dashes as interrupters: many styleguides say it should be an unspaced em dash—but that's thought old-fashioned by some folk, who prefer a spaced en dash – MOS allows both, but hints that spaced ''em'' dashes — like this — are not the norm. My preference—you know—is for the unspaced em. | |||
| Me, I hate those ''spaced'' em dashes, coz they're just too likely to hang at the end of a line — besides, they're so wide that they're visually intrusive. | |||
| What do you think? You might wish to have your say ], where Noetica is trying to garner consensus for proscribing the spaced em dash – leaving just the standard two options. | |||
| PS Here's the stark difference: | |||
| *diddley squat - yadda yadda | |||
| *diddley squat – yadda yadda | |||
| *diddley squat—yadda yadda | |||
| *diddley squat — yadda yadda | |||
| ] ] 10:55, 20 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| <br> | |||
| I can't decide between the spaced en dash and the unspaced em dash. The unspaced em dash seems to have hyphen-like overtones, whereas the spaced en dash loses effect when it breaks a line (non-breaking spaces could always be used). But, if push comes to shove, I'd probably use an unspaced em dash (as opposed to entering &nbsp;–&nbsp;). ] 21:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I think the hard-space is necessary only before the en dash, if at all. Sandy fought hard for that to be a rule, but I don't think we went along with it in the end. More folks nowadays prefer the space en dash than the slightly old-fashioned (unspaced) em dash. Me, I'm old-fashioned. Also depends a little on the font: some fonts display HUUUUGE em dashes; and the column width (which is why most newspapers avoid em dashes). ] ] 11:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Handel Categories == | |||
| I usually wait until there's a few articles before I create a new category, but I suppose that's just an editorial preference of mine. I just didn't want to leave the article with a red link (basicallly uncategorized), so I put it in a category that existed. Its hard for editors and bots to find articles that are not categorized (and not many really check the stub category). If you end up eventually creating the psalm settings category at a later date, then you can recategorize it then.] (]) 03:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ==Greetings from Down Under== | |||
| Hi, HWV258. Tony1 mentioned you to me. I see on your user page the following philosophy: ''"I fully encourage any contributor to create a page, no matter how little it is of 'note' to another reader. The point being that if it isn't 'notable' it won't be found by people who aren't looking for it. One person's trash is another person's treasure''". Welcome to my club! | |||
| Which leads me to let you know about an article I recently created, ]. It’s in danger of being sent off to AfD for its alleged lack of “notability”, and I’m having some difficulty in justifying (in WP terms) why it should remain. I wonder if you can take a look at the talk page and let me know your thoughts, or add them there. | |||
| Oh, in case you haven’t already seen it, I’ve proposed an edit concerning Handel’s date of birth, which may interest you. Cheers. -- ] (]) 00:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Remarks == | |||
| Greetings, you noted in your response to my question at {{user0|Tony1}} that you'd be willing to help. I approach you for that reason. It is difficult for me to objectively evaluate the text because I spent time writing and researching the article; perhaps too much time :) . I feel that I am a good writer, but at the same time an article of such prominence as the ] (it is of top importance in WikiProject France) must offer something better than "good" to our readers. Specific worries of mine are that some of the text may not be adequately explained or not flow logically from thought-to-thought. Such things are difficult for the content-writing editor to notice because his mind automatically "fills in the blanks" with his prior knowledge of the subject. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Lastly, I like your point about wikilinks; it is not something I had thought of earlier. ] (]) 17:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Not to engage in talking behind his back or anything (which I guess this is...though he could easily be watching this page too), but I'm happy to see I'm not the only one annoyed by much of what he does, and I'm not just imagining things. Though I do think that you are forgetting about the ] rule: a change without consensus is allowed just fine, it's just a matter of doing exactly what you did -- reverting and putting the discussion on the talk page. ] (]) 04:50, 23 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for contacting me. If you feel inclined, please let me know of some of the things that have annoyed you. I hate this sort of stuff, but things are getting closer to a point where other actions may have to be taken. I'm in favour of being bold, but it is still possible to be bold in a sandpit area in order to demonstrate to the wider community the necessity for change. To blissfully disregard all the reasonable points made as one steam-rollers through the work of other editors is not being bold—it is being confrontational and boring. ] 06:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Courtesy visit == | |||
| Hi H. I am interested in your contributions at ]. Please don't overestimate any difference of opinion we appear to have. WP is riddled with problems: political and technical, technopolitical, and politicotechnical. We all hope for grand solutions that will sweep away lesser concerns; I too am an optimist by temperament, but experience with Misplaced Pages's blinkered technocracy has hardened me. | |||
| I am also interested in music articles, as you are. I am a serious music theorist, and passionate about rigour: so I am especially passionate about rigour in the music theory articles. Alas, as things stand these are an ] mess. I initiated one article, ], to shine a fifty-footnoted searchlight on one grey area in which confusion reigns, throughout the literature and throughout the web. So difficult! The prejudices and evasions were a marvel to behold. | |||
| Anyway, we try. When we can muster the energy and determination. Just one small thing on your page: the original and most accepted expression is ''to home in'', not (as many think) ''to hone in''. Best wishes to you! | |||

| == deletion stuff == | |||
| Hi, I see that deletion occupies quite a proportion of your commentary overleaf. What is it that fires you up? Is there a problematic boundary between deleting and not deleting? Maybe, but there are certainly many articles and images that should not be given any oxygen at all. Take the one on some practice of laying turds on a partner's chest (it has a real name I can't recall). I voted to delete that, because it was an embarrassment to a project that is accessible by all, including children. What about the map of medical systems around the world that had Afghanistan with a full medical system, funded by the US military. We said good-bye to that one as well. ] ] 09:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
