The premise is very short; the rules say plots must be at least 400 words. Georgia guy (talk) 20:49, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you really think Khajidha is right, please fix this sentence in the essay. Georgia guy (talk) 16:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you quoting WP:LQUOTE? It is just an explanatory essay. And not even one focused on abbreviations. The Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Full points (periods) says "Contractions that do not contain an apostrophe almost always take a period in North American English, but the point is optional in British English: Doctor can be abbreviated Dr. in American and Canadian English, but Dr. or Dr in British English. If in doubt, or if the dot-less usage could be confusing in the context, use the point. " --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 16:22, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is clearly confusing to all North American English speakers to omit the period. Do you understand this?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I am a North American English speaker who is not confused by it, your point is invalidated. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 16:30, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this article is in British English, and British reliable sources write without the periods, then I'm fine with excluding them. It looks like that happens here and here. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
