CC license abbreviations
Hi Baffle gab1978! Hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that according to the CC style guide,
- Individual clauses (e.g., BY, NC, etc.) should be strung together with a hyphen.
For example: CC BY-NC-ND- Modifiers (e.g. CC) should not be followed by a hyphen.
For example: CC BY
Therefore, CC-BY-SA is actually a typo and should be corrected to CC BY-SA.
(And I am still grateful for the work you did at Jonathan Baldwin Turner :D)

- Hi @HouseBlaster:, thanks for your message; I will take notice but I think as long as the person / bot / thing reading the message understands it (and I normally do wiki-link the term), the CC licence is fulfilled and there's not a problem. I'm glad the work at the Turner article is useful. :) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 00:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oh it is certainly not an attribution issue, just a very pedantic typo (it is the typo I have "adopted" via {{User Adopt-a-typo}}). Best, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 00:59, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- No worries; and perhaps you could let Creative Commons know page 15 of its style guide (2019) talks about something called "semi-olons"... :D Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Gutur copy editing feedback
@Baffle gab1978, Thanks for your copy editing of Guntur. I found it reads much better and learned use of semicolon from your copy editing. I made one minor change, which I hope is fine. Arjunaraoc (talk) 05:46, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, @Arjunaraoc:, I'm glad the c/e was useful. Good luck with the article and cheers, Baffle☿gab 22:52, 12 June 2024 (UTC).
