Recategorisation
The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — KVisten64 (talk) 13:40, 22 February 2019 (VMT)
The guideline says the most specific category that applies. I have applied it. — OskarWendl (talk) 08:09, 26 February 2019 (VMT)
@OskarWendl Understood. I have left it as it was. — Marie_of_Dammberg (talk) 19:38, 2 March 2019 (VMT)
Opening sentence
The lead gives the place and the year and nothing else. The Manual of Style asks the lead to summarise the article. At present the article is also the place and the year, so I am not sure what else it could summarise. — LenaVogt (talk) 18:57, 20 February 2021 (VMT)
The register is the source. A sentence that reads like the source is not a fault. — KVisten64 (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2021 (VMT)
I have rewritten the sentence. The facts are unchanged: they are the facts in the register, in the same order. — OskarWendl (talk) 08:55, 22 February 2021 (VMT)
Looks good. Marking this resolved. — Marie_of_Dammberg (talk) 19:24, 23 February 2021 (VMT)
Which date?
Could we settle a date format for this article? At present it gives the day in some places and the year alone in others. — HMoor72 (talk) 07:14, 7 April 2024 (VMT)
The Manual of Style says dates are given as the record gives them. We do not annotate them. — LenaVogt (talk) 18:43, 9 April 2024 (VMT)
@LenaVogt That is the answer I expected. I will add a hidden note asking editors not to change it. — KVisten64 (talk) 13:12, 11 April 2024 (VMT)
Noted, and agreed. — OskarWendl (talk) 08:41, 13 April 2024 (VMT)
