I agree. Why did someone decide to use the full name?
Before I tell you, I should tell you something. "Through the Looking-Glass" is the article, while the same name (but with the subtitle "And What Alice Found There" has been supported to be a redirect. Also, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyll" is the article, while the extended name (which is "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch") has been supported to be a redirect.
So, now that you know, I'll ask the question again. Why did someone decide to use the full name? ANSWER ME! --172.189.209.104 (talk) 19:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't know the original motivation, but I would ask what you suggest as an alternative? There are no reasonable standards for abbreviating such an unreasonable word.Beeblbrox (talk) 20:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Word appears twice?

The article currently says, "The dish's name is mentioned only twice, in one of the last speeches of the play." However, based on the English translations I have seen, it only appears once. Can anyone confirm the number of appearances? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Short Hyphen?

The article title may be a lost cause, but I think the article text itself may benefit from the unorthodox “short hyphen” character (HTML entity ­) for the sake of line breaking in *ahem* the word of the topic at hand. There are, however, technical difficulties that may arise from this, as not all browsers treat the character the same way (it has to do with ucky unspecific specifications). Thoughts? -BRPXQZME (talk) 18:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
