Wouldn't it make sense to include a portrait of Chester Beach as the designer? czar 16:53, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Done.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:41, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

En dash or hyphen?

[edit]

The title uses hyphen, but the article uses en dash. Which is it? —Biscuit-in-Chief :-) (TalkContribs) 19:04, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The title uses dash as well now. MOS:ENBETWEEN advises dash "In compounds when the connection might otherwise be expressed with to, versus, and, or between" (boyfriend–girlfriend problems, the Paris–Montpellier route, a New York–Los Angeles flight, etc). So far I adjusted the lead accordingly, not the rest of the article. Brandmeistertalk 11:26, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've replaced all occurences of "Lexington-Concord" with "Lexington–Concord". Shouldn't be any more problems regarding hyphens now. —Biscuit-in-Chief :-) (/tɔk//ˈkɒntɹɪbs/) 11:45, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
