Reverted edit[edit]

I just reverted an edit by User:Randy Kryn from 28 March 2015‎, for which he claimed as justification, "Essays are italic on Wikipedia." This only reveals his ignorance of Wikipedia policy regarding italicized titles, as delineated at MOS:NOITALIC, which I quote:

Italics are generally used only for titles of longer works. Titles of shorter works should be enclosed in double quotation marks[...] This particularly applies to works that exist as a smaller part of a larger work. These include but are not limited to: Articles, essays, papers[...]

This is my justification for reverting the edit. The subject of the article is an essay that was published in a magazine, has been repeatedly collected in anthologies, and which has never been published as a pamphlet or a standalone work. 207.155.212.66 (talk) 01:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and yes, I was wrong. Look at the date: almost exactly a year ago. I've learned a lot about italics since. Thank you for catching this. Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes like this back then, I think I usually checked for a stand-alone publication so missed this one, and thanks again. Randy Kryn 1:42, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Here's one you can maybe help me out on, 207.155.212.66. Some pages have incorrectly italicized titles, such as The Four Diamonds which I've just come across, because they also have a film infobox lower on the page. I've never figured out how to unitalicize something like that. DISPLAYTITLE doesn't work. Maybe it's an easy fix, I have no idea. Thanks. Randy Kryn 2:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
