The Tsar's Finger

[edit]

"In several countries during the 19th century, rough railway planning was done with a ruler." Is this a reference to the Tsar or the linear measuring tool?Harrypotter (talk) 09:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

[edit]

User:Tony1 did us all a favor yesterday and move the article to where it should have been all along. The rules are simple, as stated at WP:DASH: "All disjunctive en dashes are unspaced, except when there is a space within either one or both of the items" [my emphasis]. So please, the next time an experienced editor comes along and moved an article with reference to the Manual of Style, at least have the courtesy to read the referred-to information before making statements like "unnecessary spaces" (which, ironically, are necessary to write good English). Since a renaming debate would be snow, I am simply moving the article back to where it belongs. Arsenikk (talk) 11:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
