| : Hi. In the featured article ] I was inconsistent in my use of hyphens between numeric centuries. For example in the lead of see 7th-century and 10th century. My understanding stems from the Little Thetford FAC and where Malleus explains: It's Xth-century when used as an adjective, such as Xth-century cottage, but Xth century otherwise.

| ::Thanks for your quick and clear response. My understanding is that the hyphen is used when the ordinal (20th) and "century" are used together as an adjective to describe the next word, whereas no hyphen is used when referring to the century as a noun. For example, you'd have a {{xt|15th-century house}}, but a {{xt|house built in the 15th century}}. Have a happy new year. ] (]) 16:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

| ::::: Note that I have formally withdrawn from the FAC review. However, as stated, please do continue to ask my advice whilst you think I can help. It is great to learn that you are willing to critique sources such as Everett-Heath. My own point on Everett-Heath is that I trust his view on toponymy rather than the other sources that are/were in the article. In any case, yesterday I fired off an email to a UK toponymist for his view on the toponymy of Hyderabad. I mentioned Everett-Heath and asked if he knew of other reliable sources. I have not yet received a reply. If/when I do you will be the second to know (after me). | |||
| ::::: Diacritics. Please note that this is my own personal view (backed up by a UK toponymist friend of mine): in a toponymy section it is my view that diacritics are important to include ''if they are properly sourced'' because it helps other toponymists. Diacritics are beyond the general reader (such as I) and should thus (in my opinion) not be used throughout an article. I rarely create such diacritics myself. I digitally copy/paste them from sources. | |||
