Stylization of the "common name"

Disregard

– I was already a participant in that discussion.

In January 2013 there was a "RfC on COMMONSTYLE proposal" at WT:AT in which you expressed an interest. FYI there is a similar debate taking place at the moment, see Wikipedia talk:Article titles#Stylization of the "common name" -- PBS-AWB (talk) 12:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Comment

Thank you for being on the same general side of the issue at Mustang (disambiguation). We fight like cats and dogs (and horses and birds and goats and so on) about other issues, (and probably will continue to do so) but a tip of the hat that you can agree with someone where you have had disagreements. If you, me, and JLAN can all be on the same page occasionally, maybe Middle East peace isn't impossible after all. One suggestion, though: The vote is going "our" way over there, so do try to resist the urge to post walls of text - it can backfire. Montanabw ^(talk) 03:35, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't have anything further to say there, unless new bogus arguments need to be addressed, and I'm also relieved to at least be !voting in the same general direction for a change. That said, I don't need to be needled by you about how I write; please just accept the fact that your insistence on brevity will never mesh with my insistence on precision. There is no need for any fighting like cats and dogs, and never was. I cannot treat this like a game, with no stakes yet intense competition as if for its own sake, where making jokes about the Middle East somehow makes it all okay. I have no desire for further strife with you and Jlan (or anyone else). But I am not one of those people who likes to get in fistfights and then become buddies as we nurse our wounds and chuckle about what a good dust-up it was. I look forward to more productive collaboration. We don't have to be personally antagonistic when we disagree. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 04:25, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't view it as a game, either. However, I use humor to defuse tense situations. I would most sincerely hope personalized antagonism can be avoided, but I am going to note that brevity AND precision can go hand in hand. And, I also hope you understand that you may be wrong on some issues. Montanabw ^(talk) 10:49, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

My editnotice makes an observation in that regard (the very last sentence in it). Heh. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 23:42, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Pinging you on this issue: Talk:Mustang_(disambiguation)#Alternative_proposal. Your memory is better than mine. Montanabw ^(talk) 02:34, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Didn't see it in time. Kinda glad. :-/ — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 06:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
