Finally responded to the "reference is not a verb" thingy, if you want to see it. ~NJ

Wedding as situation

Just a minor point of pedantry: whether in the interrogative or relative mood, it's perfectly acceptable to use the adverb "where" in reference to a situation, such as a wedding, funeral or stay in hospital; it does not merely apply to fixed locations. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 09:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I know it's acceptable, but WP allows for considerations of style and preference. While "where" is grammatically permissible, it is stylistically odd. No criticism was meant by the edit; I even complimented the previous one. Peeper 11:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I didn't take it as a criticism. I'm merely pointing out that one is no more preferable to the other — either grammatically or stylistically (your contention that it is "odd" is not backed up by modern usage, stretching back over more than one century). --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 11:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK, OK. I'm not sure what the point of your comment is. We're all here to improve Wikipedia in style as well as content, and my edit was a very insignificant contribution. If there is a problem, change it back. It's hardly worth the effort. Peeper 17:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
