	Hi GoodDay. I notice that you have been replacing hyphens with the HTML markup '<code>&ndash;</code>' instead of the actual character '–' (, , , ). I understand that this practice is suboptimal, because wherever possible editors should use the actual character (which can be inserted into the editbox using Misplaced Pages's ''special characters'' menu, if your keyboard only supports the typing of hyphens). Don't you think it would be more helpful to insert the proper character in your edits, rather than replacing one suboptimal character with another? I have been told by a knowledgeable editor that two gadgets exist to replace hyphens with a proper en-dash, which you may want to install and use instead:

			thx for that (I know this is late, i didn't notice), but thank you for making it a header (is that the right term idk). I didn't know how to so thanks for that. have a ~~Good Day~~ thx! Cheers! <3 ] (]) 22:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

	An arbitration case regarding ] has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
	#GoodDay is indefinitely prohibited from making any edits concerning diacritics, or participating in any discussions about the same, anywhere on the English Misplaced Pages. This includes converting any diacritical mark to its basic glyph on any article or other page, broadly construed, and any edit that adds an unaccented variation of a name or other word as an alternate form to one with diacritics.
	#GoodDay is strongly warned that, in the event of additional violations of Misplaced Pages's conduct policies (especially of the nature recorded in this decision as findings of fact), substantial sanctions, up to a ban from the project, may be imposed without further warning by the Arbitration Committee.
