Hello, UTF-8. You recently edited whoop-ass, adding a 'Verb' heading. The word whoop-ass with a hyphen is generally a noun, while whoop ass with no hyphen is generally a verb. Generally that is the case, but not consistently. I decided at one time to simply leave the header out, but I'm not sure whether that is the best way to handle it.

I understand the difficulty. When compared to several other entries that have a similar hyphen usage, like wash-out and walk-up, it made more sense to keep the header for consistency rather than to omit it. UTF-8 (talk) 14:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Remove references to deprecated templates[edit]

I'm aware it's a LOT harder, but rather than removing the templates could you update the entries, for example ANCA is a proper noun whose etymology is that of an initialism. So removing the template adds the entry to Special:UncategorizedPages and does not fix the problem of part of speech. Thank you. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
