Editors should structure articles with consistent, reader-friendly layouts and formatting (which are detailed in this guide). Where more than one style or format is acceptable under the MoS, one should be used consistently within an article and should not be changed without good reason. Edit warring over stylistic choices is unacceptable. [b]
There are often two or more definitions per term. Definitions longer than a short paragraph may indicate a need for an article (or article section) about the topic of the term and a link to it from the glossary definition, in lieu of an in-depth definition in the glossary itself. style
A leading A, An, or The is preserved in the title of a work, including when preceded by a possessive or other construction that would eliminate the article in something other than a title, e.g.: Stephen King's The Stand; however, the is sometimes not part of the title itself, e.g.: the Odyssey, the Los Angeles Times but The New York Times.
Editors should provide a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent, when the meaning of the term may not be generally known, or when the term is ambiguous. For example: Joe Shmoe – made a similar achievement on April 4, 2005; Ischemia – restriction in blood supply

Most Featured Articles contain about 12 to 25 links in the lead, with an average of about 1.5 links per sentence or one link for every 16 words. Links appearing ahead of the bolded term distract from the topic if not necessary to establish context, and should be omitted even if they might be appropriate elsewhere in the text.
I realize this was a severely limited and unscientific survey, but it does support the case that GMT is a more recognizable common-use term outside the technical community. Thus I think this term should be allowed or even preferred in non-technical articles and should be left intact if already present. -- Tcncv 02:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
