Incorrect “correction” to en dash
[edit]Hi,
I have reverted your article text edits to dot-matrix display, which while I am sure they were in good faith, were absolutely incorrect. Unfortunately I am unable to revert the article title from the move you performed, since the redirect prevents moving back. This will require assistance to fix.
At Talk:Dot–matrix display#En dash vs hyphen in title I wrote a full explanation, including relevant examples from the very MOS you cited, of why an en dash is incorrect in this instance.
Regards, — tooki (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oops. I'll tag the redirect for speedy deletion and make the move. mwwv converse∫edits 20:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

thanks
[edit]for the acknowledgement of the prod issue, pity about Trove though, it has been going down/offline recently, making its usage a bit of a random event... JarrahTree 03:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Your reverts of my edits
[edit]About your reverts of myedits here and special:Diff/1239445013/1239530065: I did those edits under the policy of biographies of iving people, which states A harmful statement about a small group or organization comes closer to being a BLP problem than a similar statement about a larger group; and when the group is very small, it may be impossible to draw a distinction between the group and the individuals that make up the group.
This is under the section "Legal persons and groups," which is technically about corporations, which can sometimes employ tens (if not hundreds!) of thousands of people. In that context, a band would be on the extreme end of a "very small group." Also, the biography articles without living parameter states that When an article is about many persons (such as a list of persons), the editor needs to see if at least one of the persons is still alive. If they are then living=y should be used. If all persons in the list are dead then living=n should be used.
and WP:BLP states Anyone born within the past 115 years[...]is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death.
In any case, if this band exists (which, they probably do) and is notable (which, as someone who's not a J-rock fan, I find more questionable), so do reliable sources. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

- Eh, it's alright. Don't sweat about it too much, it's been a while, that discussion is 13 years old, and consensus can very well change. mwwv converse∫edits 19:19, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
