Great proofreading work! Please note, though, that the most common publishing standard is for em dashes (—) to be without spacing, and our D.C. guide adheres to that convention. I will remove the em dash spacing you have added once you have finished going through the article, but I thought I would let you know this to save you some time. Anyway, please keep up the good work! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:17, 5 May 2010 (EDT)
- I disagree fully with this claim, on multiple levels. There is no agreement on the proper convention for use of m-dashes, even on this very site. The "most common" standard in the US calls for no spaces, but internationally the convention favors spaces. I intend to continue to use spaced m-dashes, serial commas, single spacing to start sentences, and apostrophe-s as the possessive for names ending in s in all of my editing unless and until this is discussed at the top level on this site and contrary conventions about these points are written into the Manual of Style. Otherwise, I will not be editing on this site (or even using this site) at all. --(WT-en) KingRitz 11:49, 6 May 2010 (EDT)
