I have no recollection of that edit, I must have misclicked completely and not noticed. Sorry about that. Canterbury Tail talk 02:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Consistency vs. work

Since I don't want to clog the edit summaries:

1. Of course, it's better to totally fix something that got broken rather than simply revert it to a partially unbroken version. You're presently making the article consistent, and the article takes 20 seconds to load on my computer. These are minor reasons one may choose to revert+inform instead. I would assume it's possible that net editor work is ultimately lower.
2. On the other hand, I don't think it makes sense to worry about your edits that only consist of errors being reverted. Something being consistently incorrect style-wise is almost always clearly worse than it being inconsistently correct.

After having read your linked guideline, I actually now think there was absolutely nothing wrong with my edits at all. I quote: "Values and units used as compound modifiers are hyphenated only where the unit is given as a whole word [...]"

All instances of a hyphen use used whole words. When I wrote my dummy edit, I only read the first bullet point of the guideline and thought that the reason why you reverted my edits was that there was a special symbol for suspended hyphens which I hadn't used. Maxeto0910 (talk) 03:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

when two compound modifiers are separated (two- and three-digit number) seems pretty plain to me. Remsense诉 03:11, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Exactly. When two compound modifiers are separated, we should use suspended hyphens, which I did. Maxeto0910 (talk) 03:14, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, goodness gracious. This is what I get for glancing at diffs. Feel free to put me in the WP:STOCKS for this one. I was reading it the wrong way around—the strikethrough interfered with visibility of the hyphens. No excuse for that, sorry! Remsense诉 03:17, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
