This page was created because there are oddly diverse articles with similar names. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 16:14, 28 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hyphens are confusing edit

To Hunter et. al., the average person does not search using hyphens. With the creation of this disambiguation page, believe it or not, I've actually helped more people find these pages. I left out the hyphens on purpose, something everyone keeps missing. And yes, I do know that there is a redirect at Man at arms to what you are calling the primary article.

The fact of the matter is that there are two articles with nearly identical titles (hyphens and all) about two radically different subjects. One is a real topic and the other is triviality at it finest (and I'm saying that as someone who has worked in the animation business). In my opinion "hyphens are for losers" when it comes to article titles. It makes searches more difficult and allows for sloppy article writing. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 16:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Redirects are the usual way of handling the connection between how people search and how articles should be titled. You opinion of the use of hyphens in titles is not the current consensus. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:30, 31 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
