Dashes

Is this where I put the muffins? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by 173.116.114.128 ↗ (talk) 06:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)</span> 

Hi Roaring phoenix. Please see our manual of style (dashes) ↗. Several of your recent edits have been reverted as you had changed a properly used m-dash to a hyphen. Thanks, '''<span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#FF7133;">Maxim</span><sub><small><span style="color:blue;">(talk)</span></small></sub></span>''' 22:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Same can be said for replacing an emdash with and an endash and spaces on both sides. Both are acceptable. Why bother. Cheers. Dger (talk) 01:54, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

March 2013

25px|alt=|link= ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style ↗ that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in :Indonesia ↗, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page ↗ to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:57, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Dashes again

As you have been told above, unspaced emdashes are perfectly acceptable. Please do not preemptively change articles from one dash style to another based purely on your personal preference, as you did at Tourette syndrome ↗. There's plenty of work to be done around here without quibbling over how long a line should be. Why not pick an article, get some books, and start writing? Maralia (talk) 02:14, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Sled dog ↗

Thanks for your copyedit at Sled dog ↗, good work! You shouldn't mark that kind of thing minor ↗; call it "copyedit" and be proud! :-) Bishonen | talk 09:01, 24 July 2013 (UTC).

Why?

Why do you change unspaced emdashes to spaced emdashes when you have known for at least six years that unspaced emdashes are required by the Wikipedia:Manual of Style ↗ (specifically, MOS:DASH ↗)? If you want to try to change this rule, then go to the Manual of Style pages and propose the change. Unilaterally altering articles so that they don't comply with Manual of Style rules isn't a good idea (unless you want to get blocked, of course). EddieHugh (talk) 12:01, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
