I don't know if this is good formatting, but I thought it's better than it was.

Pyrate, no. If you wish to use subsenses, nest them with "##". But in general, that is discouraged - especially when there are translations (which all English entries should have.) If the sense isn't different, there should not be a different sense listed. The sentences you broke apart were merely expounding and clarifying the one sense described. --Connel MacKenzie T C 22:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Benevolent society

[edit]

Aside from the idiom benevolent society, we should reserve benevolent for “inclined or disposed to do good.” --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:23, 9 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
