Gentle reminder...
I know you've been here a while, but please try not to discreetly undo someone's edits rather than use the undo button and remember to follow BRD. Thanks and happy editing. :) --MisterShiney ✉ 00:36, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm sorry. I should have been a bit more considerate in how I went about that. It seemed less controversial than it probably was. I don't think an undo would have done the job though because you had made another edit. Regards and thank you for being so civil. --Lo2u (T • C) 08:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- No worries. It's forgotten :) --MisterShiney ✉ 19:48, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
re: DOND
Tour episodes don't count as official studio episodes, for the most part it's finished already and the tour episodes are just to "farewell" the series properly. Things should be written in past tense when they're done, not in the present as though they're still happening, because that's not accurate and misleading. --CitroenLover (talk) 11:49, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- At the risk of repeating myself, I suggest you follow the practice for every article on every discontinued television series on Wikipedia and read MOS:VERB. --Lo2u (T • C) 11:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- Also, I've never watched an episode of DOND so am probably not qualified to comment on what counts as an "official" episode but my understanding of this on BBC News is that "official studio episodes" are still going to be broadcast: "the studio-based show will end this autumn" --Lo2u (T • C) 11:57, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- 1) If you want me to respond to anything, post to my talkpage. I'm not going to hunt down random user talkpages hoping for a response.
- 2) If you've never watched a single episode, then it makes your point moot.
- 3) Official episodes are the studio based episodes. The news reports have misinterpreted the official line: Noel is taking the show out on a tour for the final series and after the final series, the series is discontinued. --CitroenLover (talk) 19:42, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- It's not really a random user talk page is it? You began a discussion here so it shouldn't surprise you if there's a reply in the same thread. I'm simply following normal Wikipedia practice for talk pages, the same practice I've followed for ten years of editing and that I've come to assume others will follow. And nobody has ever complained. Anyway this discussion is pointless because, regardless of when the last one was or will be, we use the present tense. Once again, please refer to the the Manual of Style. --Lo2u (T • C) 20:06, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Dactylic hexameter
Dear Lo2u,
Since your last edit on Dactylic hexameter I get to see squares on the place of the short syllable and "either one long or two shorts", both on my iPad, and on my PC. I'm sure some others will have the same problem. Of course the former solution, using 'u', isn't very elegant, but hopefully another solution can be found.
Kind regards, Sint Aldegonde (talk) 21:32, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. Could I ask if this works any better?: Ārmă vĭr|ūmquĕ căn|ō, Trōi|āe quī| prīmŭs ăb| ōrīs --Lo2u (T • C) 23:14, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- That is much better, thanks. But then I wonder how it will be solved in cases where there are no letters under the scansion, e.g. under ‘Structure’. Sint Aldegonde (talk) 20:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I've updated it. Could I ask if the notation in the template for this article is any better? The fixed width thing wasn't great because half of visits used the mobile site. For these, and many desktop visits, the line will not have fitted across the screen and the text wraps in a different way from the scansion.--Lo2u (T • C) 23:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that looks fine. Well done for improving the article. Another question now emerges: the mark that divides the dactyls ({{!}}) is now very hard to distinguish from the letter l. I’d suggest the way it is done here as a possible solution. Sint Aldegonde (talk) 15:32, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
