3737:: "Knowledge does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style." "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, or without first seeking consensus for the change. If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it; if you believe it is inappropriate for the needs of the article, seek consensus for a change on the talk page. As with spelling differences, if there is disagreement about which style is best, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. If you are the first contributor to add citations to an article, you may choose whichever style you think best for the article." 773:

I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Knowledge and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Cerebral palsy. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles.

proper places. If one peruses carefully the turtle synonymys in Checklist of Chelonians of the World by Fritz & Havaš, one finds dashes used only for new combinations, not for synonyms that were new names for new species (i.e., what were at the time presumed to be new species). A new combination is created when a species is reassigned to a different genus, or when a subspecies is reassigned to a different species.

Been looking for the article with the instruction that triggers but it was not in my saved articles. The article in question is within my last 25000 contributions must likely in an article I edited between 18 and 29 July(but that's a lot of articles).

contained "A 'fozy' turnip = A woody one, possibly frostbitten", showing it as one word. I don't see why there is any question or complaint now that the spelling is uniform in that article, and SunCreator did not change any quoted material. Surely you don't object to using modern English spellings in Knowledge?

2490:" WP article, you will find a section titled "Box turtle and parentheses (continued)". In that section is a hypothetical synonymy which I constructed in May 2011 (when my IP address was 74.109.236.194) to answer a question from another editor. This example may be helpful in illustrating when to use dashes. 4395:

Yes, question was about time-limit in Norwegian Chess Championship. If you wanted to exclude all of those examples then check for an advanced hyphen by added "(?!-)" to the end of the rule. i.e. find="\b(ull|art)\s?time\b(?!-)". Whether you could have two hyphens in any of those examples I'm not sure

2515:

Hi, thank you. The reason why I was removing dashes from some turtle articles was because when initially added the dash was used as a seperator of information and not intended to have an alternative meaning. Afterwards it transpired that the dash had specific meaning in a taxonomy context. Now we are

Fascinating. A couple more: What's "the code showed two tlx|Reflict's mean"? What is this code and where is it located on the p.? what does tlx|Sfn mean?

The modern spelling is one word. It's not hard to find older dictionaries (early-20th-century and older, such as Webster's Revised 1913) that show it hyphenated, but that's not "modern" or current.

FcEV is pronounced "eff-see-ee-vee", and "NCAA" is pronounced "en-see-double-ay", both beginning with a vowel sound. On the other hand, NATO is pronounced "nay-toe", and begins with a consonant sound. It's the initial SOUND that determines whether a or an is used, not the initial letter.

420: 4370:. But, seriously, was your question on Norwegian Chess Championship about the hyphen in time-limit not stopping the rule?

Two observations: "an 80% chance", but "a 90% chance". Also, NY is practically never pronounced "En-why" except in zip codes, but is read out as "New York", so "a NY senator". There's also "a opossum", which usually has a silent "o", at least by people who are familiar with the animal.

It's not a single sound, but a consonant sound (j) followed by a vowel sound (u:). The first sound is what determines a or an, in this case, a because j is a consonant sound. The u vowel sound is irrelevant here because it is not the initial sound.

2034:. There is about 8000 articles in total that have a requirement for not a typo and so far about 1500 or so have been marked. So still some way to go. The article stuff I can do but the AWB coding is by others and will take a while longer! Regards, 621:

Fortunately, as far as turtle synonymys are concerned, we do have Fritz & Havaš as a reliable source, and I would respectfully recommend that they be considered the ultimate authority for when to use a dash or when not to use a dash.

Please don't simply edit articles mainly to change the case of templates like cite or reflist. This is an unnecessary edit and upsets many editors. At least one editor has been blocked for doing this, albeit with automated editing.

book the entries appear to be “fozy - applied to a turnip that is frost-bitten” and “phosey / fosey - frost bitten turnips”. So while begging to differ, shouldn’t the spelling be as the original, warts and all, and not “sanitised” ?

3348:

Have you upgraded to 5.3.1.2? That's working for me. I'm wondering if you found an article containing a hidden control character between "instruc" and "tions" - AWB would see that as two words, and would add a "t" to "instruc". --

2719:, like American English, there is no /j/ consonant before a long U after certain letters. So tune is pronounced "toon" in American English, but "tyoon" in British English. The "j" is the IPA symbol for the "y" consonantal sound. 3637:

In UK English, we do not "lump" turtles, terrapins and tortoises as they do in US English: hence, "land turtle" is "tortoise"; we use "terrapin" (no idea what US English uses!); and "sea turtles" are simply "turtles" in UK.
