Hyphen after "democratically"

@Dhtwiki: In the edit summary I referenced WP:HYPHEN, which says "Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) ..." Please observe Wikipedia's style. Chris the speller yack 16:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the examples given by the guideline are simpler than "democratically elected local councils" where the hyphen helps to show that the first two attributes are closer to each other, forming a single attribute, and is helpful when there is another adjective – "local" – present. The guideline makes an exception – "unless part of a larger compound" – that I think applies here, although the example given there doesn't deal with the same construction. Also, another of the guideline's items – "A hyphen can help to disambiguate" – would seem to allow my usage, as well. Dhtwiki (talk) 22:28, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dhtwiki: You are reading things into the MoS that are simply not there, apparently to twist it to agree with your personal tastes. This case is clearly not a "larger compound"; it is a simple case of a compound modifier. The MoS was not written by one editor; it has been refined by many editors over many years, and is the result of a consensus. And it's not just Wikipedia that dislikes hyphens in these cases; this discussion about the Chicago Manual of Style shows that there is general agreement to leave ly compounds open, not hyphenated. Also see this discussion about the AP Stylebook and CMoS. Please stop adding unneeded hyphens. Chris the speller yack 00:23, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
