Numbers as words
editWP:ORDINAL suggests that for whole numbers up to nine, words rather than numerals are used. Numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals or in words (emphasis added, exceptions excluded). The recent arbitrary replacing of words with numerals seems, then, to contravene the policy of "editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another". Highly trivial though it may seem, as the original contributor I would like to put it back to the way it was. --Old Moonraker (talk) 23:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
