Them long dashes
Hi Seperation,

Thanks for your work on validating Gatsby. Very much appreciated!

Just one note though… I'd deliberately used plain em-dashes even when the original used longer dashes, mainly for convenience and because I judge it more a typographic quirk than an important and deliberate layout choice. You'll note that this isn't self-censoring of names and places (which is what the template was designed for), but rather takes the place of horizontal ellipses (…) when sentences trail off or resume.

If you prefer to use for more visual fidelity I have no objection—so long as you use it consistently throughout the work—but be aware that the original uses these frequently so there will be quite a lot of them to change over the remaining pages. --Xover (talk) 05:58, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I am going to keep the long dashes for the practice in other works. Just wondering though, would you prefer it if I didn't mark as minor changes so it wouldn't message you? Seperation (talk) 07:30, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. I see all changes, including those marked as minor edits, in my watchlist; but no such edits generate a notification beyond that. In any case, I'm not particularly worried about notifications and generally prefer to get too many rather than miss something. --Xover (talk) 07:37, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

== A New Dictionary of the Terms Ancient and Modern of the Canting Crew, in Its Several Tribes, of Gypsies, Beggers, Thieves, Cheats, &c. With an Addition of Some Proverbs, Phrases, Figurative Speeches, &c ==

Hi, unfortunately I do not concur that the work Index:A new dictionary of the terms ancient and modern of the canting crew, in its several tribes, of gypsies, beggers, thieves, cheats, &c. with an addition of some proverbs, phrases, figurative speeches, &c.djvu is not ready to be transcribed to main namespace--unread and unformatted. Plus we would be looking to intervene and put in some logical separations probably per letter A. B. C. etc. into our reproduction as we convert from book to web form. I have deleted the transclusion that you did. — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
