hyphen versus long-dash[edit]

Without any RM revisit, maybe there should be a brief blurb in the article that the IAU refers to the comet as Hale-Bopp ... ? That might put some of the concerns to bed without renaming the article/changing MOS. 50.111.24.158 (talk) 14:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, it would be way off topic for this article as it would have nothing to do with Hale-Bopp. -- Kheider (talk) 16:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
