Talk:12–6 elbow

Congratulations!
Congratulations on appearing on Wikipedia's main page as a "Did you know..." listing. I've been involved in the DYK process, (never successfully, I might add!) and so I know the time it takes and the coordination required between between editors...let's just say it isn't the easiest thing to accomplish. You deserve recognition, appreciation and applause. Thank you very much to all the contributing editors who made this listing possible.:The Very Best of Regards,  Bfpage &#124;leave a message 14:23, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comment, however don't you think a comment like that would be better placed if it was placed on the creator's talk page rather than in the article's general talk page? Though you really should alter it to be more relevant to the individual people/'s work you place it upon otherwise a catch-all comment like this could be considered WP:SPAM.

MOS:DASH nerdery
Should this article be renamed "12–6 elbow" (with an en dash) instead of the current "12-6 elbow" (with a hyphen)? The Manual of Style guideline section MOS:DASH, in the section titled "In compounds when the connection might otherwise be expressed with to, versus, and, or between", explains that an en dash is typically used to replace the word "to" in a compound phrase. Since "12-6 elbow" is explained as "12 o'clock to 6 o'clock elbow" in the article text, it seems reasonable to me that en dashes should be used throughout this article.

Apologies if this has been beaten to death on this page in the past. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:54, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Pinging, who passed this as a GA and checked it against MOS. What is the rationale for the hyphen, if you considered it? – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:56, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think I've ever seen an article with an em dash in its title, has it been done before? I understand their usage in the article body, but for the title, I'm not actually sure. JAG  UAR   20:18, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * En dashes are commonly used in titles to which MOS:DASH applies, with a redirect from the hyphenated form. See, for example, 2002–03 Boston Celtics season and 2002–03 Leeds United A.F.C. season (and a million other multi-year sports seasons), Feynman–Kac formula, and many other titles where an en dash is called for. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:08, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
