5 or Five
[edit]Is there are logic or chronology here or just random use? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:19, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- Amnodr. I don't think there was much logic - written sources tend to say "Five" and some labels said "5". Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:38, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- I can understand sources using different styles. I always tend to be guided by what appeared on the record labels/ covers. Is there a case for choosing one and sticking to it? It just looks a bit untidy to chronic obsessives like me. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:45, 17 October 2015 (UTC) Amnodr = "a subterranean world??
- My view when I wrote it, I think, was to reflect the inconsistencies in the sources by being equally inconsistent in the text, and not making an issue of the inconsistency, which seemed to me to be (sorry) somewhat trivial. But I'll go with the flow. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:54, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oh my goodness, what a video gem. But no strong view - I can see your twisted logic, haha. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:32, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
