Move?

User:Jon Awbrey (now permanently blocked) moved this article from Davis-Putnam algorithm to Davis-Putnam algorithm (if that's too subtle to see, he replaced the simple hyphen with a slightly longer en dash. While some manuals of style recommend this, I don't think it is appropriate here - Wikipedia rule is to use the most well-known name, and most people do not even know about different dashes, let alone how to type them on a normal keyboard (the last includes me...). So I suggest to move it back. Any coments? --Stephan Schulz 06:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The long dash convention was a math project one. In my opinion, it was a bad choice; anyway, this article is about computer science, so I do not see how that convention affects this article User:Tizio. 11:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As of the now, the manual of style recommends the en dash, so I've moved it back. Algebraist 12:32, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Jon may have committed crimes, but en-dash wasn't one of them. linas (talk) 00:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
