An endash is similar to a hyphen, except an endash is slightly longer than a hyphen, and shorter than an emdash. I just find the Template:Ndash is a simple way of producing the endash that can be used in date ranges. Bcperson89 (talk) 01:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt reply. I should have pointed out that the first sign I mentioned, –, is not produced by typing a hyphen (which is indeed even shorter: -) but comes from clicking on it in the Insert section beneath the editing pane: –, and looks to me just like an endash, which I type with the ampersand-ndash-semicolon code: – (again: – – ). But to you it looks like a hyphen? Rothorpe (talk) 02:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Please DON'T Undo/Revert my edit's!!!!

Hi,

Why is it you feel it absolutely necessary to undo/revert my edit's when they are perfectly okay???, Please explain that one to me if you can't give an explination that means you're just another Wikipedia - "Jobsworth" — mmmm "Jobsworth" that about sums you up, Anyway you keep undoing my edits as mark my words I'll keep on undoing them so in hindsight you're wasting your time Pal

Perhaps you'd care to explain why you regard Actor/Comedian as an improvement on Actor, comedian. But I was a little hasty: some of your changes were okay. You ought to read the jobsworth article again: I've made some changes to clarify the definition. Rothorpe (talk) 16:17, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding and sorry for the insult :), by the way your changes to "Jobsworth" were needed —217.28.3.166 (talk) 18:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
