[edit] Martial arts

"compound modifiers are hyphenated per AP Stylebook, the Wikipedia std" it's not a compound modifiers it a two word term. --Nate 14:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

That's what "compound modifier" means, actually. It's an adjectival phrase made up of two words. That's how you tell difference between "high-school classmate" and a druggy "high school classmate".--Tenebrae 15:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Then go argue it about the article title, I was just trying to fix it from a redirect! --Nate 16:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok I went and read the MOS is says compound words not terms, Martial Arts is a term not a single word, so back to the un-redirected version. --Nate 16:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

WP:MOS doesn't say anything about compound modifiers; it's talking about compound words that are hyphenated whether they'd ad adjectival modifier or not.

According to the AP Stylebook and Strunk & White, two of the stylebooks Wiki says to use, a compound modifier is hyphenated, except for adverbs ending in "ly."

But let's say we could go either way on this. In that case, according to the MOS, "In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that, when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change". So it would appropriate to leave it as it was.--Tenebrae 17:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I was just thinking...you know what a compound modifier is, right? That's why "Martial arts", unhyphenated, is the name of an article, but "Martial-arts event" is hyphenated. --Tenebrae 17:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Really can't be bothered with this over a hyphen, would just comment that a disambiguating a link might be, a "substantial" reason? --Nate 23:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

It redirects to Martial arts so I'm really unsure what substantial difference is involved otherwise. --Tenebrae 15:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
