Talk:Sidney Powell

There is, almost invariably, a mixture of endashes and emdashes –
not to mention masquerading hyphens and double-hyphens –
in every article of substantial size.

An en dash is spaced (with a space on each side) when used as sentence punctuation.

An em dash is always unspaced (no space on either side).

Brogo13, we hashed this out recently and dashed out policy guidance at UN:STYLE#Dashes. We opted for the em-dash with a space on either side. Subtly different from Wikipedia, as we acknowledge, but doesn't make anything less funny. With over 30,000 articles, some are going to be out of compliance. I started out in the double-hyphen era! It looked like an em-dash in my font. Feel free to convert any you run into. Spıke 🎙️19:55 18-Jan-22
