Section titles

Please stop changing the capitalisation of section titles away from sentence capitalisation. See MOS:SECTIONCAPS. You need to read the relevant bits of the Manual of Style before making any such style change and it is better to make such changes part of a substantial improvement of the article. You can also check a few other articles to see whether you are changing towards or away from general practice. --Mirokado (talk) 13:22, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Apologies - I wished to change the two headings from no capitalisation but didn't realise it should have sentence, not title, capitalisation. Davidjohnwilson (talk) 13:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Yes you were quite correct to change from no capitalisation and I was about to change my message when you replied! Just to be clear, correcting style errors when a "correct" style is defined by MOS is welcome (you can include a link such as [[MOS:SECTIONCAPS]] in the edit summary for clarity). There are however lots of areas where Wikipedia allows an author to choose and subsequent editors are generally expected to follow that for article stability. --Mirokado (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Aha - okay. Thanks for the advice - I'm still a bit new to this but trying to help out at a ballet-themed editathon. Davidjohnwilson (talk) 13:46, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Ooh, an editathon! If you are looking for things to improve, José Manuel Carreño needs lots more references and may still be a bit out of date... --Mirokado (talk) 13:58, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Dashes and full names

Hi David, thanks for your edit to La valse. Please note that Wikipedia uses dashes rather than hyphens for several things, notably for page ranges, and Wikipedia generally includes people's first names when they are first mentioned in an article (e.g. Francis Poulenc, not just Poulenc).
