historians and others as a unit, an era in which major shifts in societal agreements were looked at and acted upon by a small group of people (the core of the movement was really about 20 people or less - pulling that number out of my hat but it seems about right, with the top-tier of the movement actually ending up to be two people), which created a national dialogue, and that dialogue (brought about by concise and well-planned use of
Gandhian-principals and nonviolent technology) then changed agreements which had been in place for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. This was done, or at least finally accomplished, from 1960 to 1966, by people who had the know-how to do it. It is as important an era, an event, in world history as the American Revolution, or French Revolution. When things reach that level, I and many others see them, experience them, as proper names. Maybe what constitutes a proper name is when a large percentage of a population, or a large percentage of academics and historians, see the topic as such. For those of us who, for example, see the 'Pullman Strike' as a single-event (although made up of hundreds of other events), the capitalization seems not only appropriate but essential. It all comes down to, as everything does, viewpoint, and sometimes accepting that other viewpoints are valid, especially on pages here which have had the same names since their inception, is as easy as just letting them alone. If my experience with disagreements like this check-out, Dicklyon and I may become buds at some point, and take turns buying each other real or virtual beers (or buds). Right now there is a point of view difference, I've been called a zealot because of that (huh?), and am having my Zorro cape and mask darned (actually I used to have a Zorro cape and mask as a kid, wish I'd kept them). Thanks for being polite.
4778:- all of which have become proper names used by labor historians, historical societies, and universities. I opposed those changes, as I've done the attempt (on a week when many people are on holiday or otherwise occupied) on the CRM pages, which have been consistent and correctly titled since their inception. Methinks the term 'zealot' may be being used here as a mirror effect. In my limited viewpoint of this issue, and this is a personal viewpoint from coming in in the middle (or is it the endgame? See how personal viewpoints work...) of what I'm becoming aware is a long-term effort, what I see is an editor looking to de-emphasize, on Knowledge, the major labor and social movements of the 20th Century. I may have come upon this late, and do not know what has occurred before these attempts, but I do know that the capitalization of the proper names of the civil rights movement pages is very common, very sensible, has clear concise arguments why they should remain as they are, and if trying to protect Knowledge's legacy in this field is being a zealot then I'll borrow a childhood favorite's sword and cut a large 'Z' on my clothes (or is it applied as a scarlet letter on this go-around?). Bottom line, this site has the best civil rights movement pages on the web, imnho, and they can only continue to improve as more data is added and refined.

Game to your list, and ignoring actual information about it. As I wrote above, which maybe you didn't see, if you watched the game yesterday the capitalization was all over the broadcast. It's the legal name of the event. How can you just ignore and discount that? I'm all for voting on its common name being "Rose Bowl", but the proposal you put forward is to decapitalize "Rose Bowl Game" to "Rose Bowl game" which seems, given the data, inaccurate. As for calling people who point things out to you a "Fan base", kind of a condescending way to describe fellow editors who care about these pages, no? Editors who have presented as much, if not more, evidence as you that those names are rightfully proper names, rightfully capitalized, and have been since their articles were first created on
Knowledge. In the case of the African-American Civil Rights Movement pages, lower-case redirects did not even exist until recently, showing that people coming to or editing Knowledge have never thought about it enough to do even that. Sometimes a rose is just a Rose, and sometimes capitalization is appropriate, sometimes it isn't (one fan base I'm a glad member of consists of basers who appreciate Anne Hathaway's amazing performance in

unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor". You ignore this. The changes from capitalised titles to lowercase titles and vice-versa for no real reason other than to enforce "MoS compliance" is plain disruptive. There is nothing unacceptable about either "Cuban
Missile Crisis" or "Cuban missile crisis". If there are sources that use both styles, and the appropriate information is conveyed, it makes no difference to the reader, other than from an aesthetic perspective. From an aesthetic perspective, titles look better and more distinguishable when capitalised, which is why they usually are. Sentence case for titles looks sloppy, like something a primary schooler would write up. That's why I think we should just adopt title case for article titles, as any good publication would do. It is aesthetically better, and more standardised. It eliminates all absurd capitalisation debates.
6691:", even though it is not necessarily capitalized. Imagine that we had two moons, as Mars does. The sentence "The cow jumped over the moon" would still make sense, but would imply that which moon was being referred to was obvious from the context (e.g. by virtue of being visible or previously selected, while the other wasn't). Similarly, we could have had a binary primary: two suns, and would still have used "the sun" when context dictated which sun was being referred to. The determination of whether the intended interpretation is of a common noun or a proper name is quite subtle, but I would suggest that if preceded by an article, unless there is clear reason to regard it as a label used to specifically distinguish it from other objects of the same class (resp. suns, earths and moons), "sun", "earth" and "moon" should always be treated as common noun. —

It seems to me that either you believe that readers will take note of that bolding and decide it means something, or you don't. If you do, then you're violating the principle of least surprise for the 99.99% (usually) of readers that didn't arrive at that spot via the particular redirect you have in mind. If you don't, then the bolding doesn't accomplish the function you're aiming for, and choosing a suitable subsection heading or topic sentence would be preferable to bolding. Thoughts? - Dank (

Just because that is the case, and newspapers and other writers may use the non-proper-noun descriptor version ("NFC championship game") in use does not make it any less of a proper noun.

That's a form of advocacy, and I don't see why you can't understand that. As far as the particulars of !votes with no substance, the closer is supposed to strike those, as I'm sure you know.

do. When capitalisation is necessary to maintain the encyclopaedic register, it is necessary, and therefore not "unnecessary". I'm not opposed to lowercase titles, and I've mentioned the articles I agree should be decapitalised at the bulk move, as capitalisation is not supported by encyclopaedic sources or any sources at all in those instances. I find it queer that you refer to a "capitalisation campaign" when these articles were already capitalised and stable for years until you fellows started messing with them. No one has suggesting "capitalising" any new articles, as far as I can see. If I can present another argument,

If there are quotation marks provided by Knowledge to everyone who does edits, then it does not seem very helpful to me if a Style Manual hidden within the bowels of WP decides on a different standard. I would propose to either use the slanted marks as a standard, or if the vertical ones are to be used, then the punctuation marks below the edit box should be changed first. The status quo is the worst solution of all. --
6130:: My bad, I actually meant the overall capitalization concept has issues depending on what style is consulted. We can certainly make whatever improvements we need so that it will make more sense when presented here. I hit an edit conflict (twice today) and see I missed re-signing my comments.

Or if they argue that historians get precedence over general writers, that will be a mess. It's not clear to me what these lists are supposed to show, if the clear evidence of majority lower case use in books is not even enough to overcome the opposition. RGloucenter has consistently refused to consider such evidence as meaningful, so how are lists going to help him?
6978:, we prefer to avoid unnecessary capitalization, and if sources don't capitalize these names, then it is not necessary for us to treat them as proper names. People who think of these as proper names of celestial bodies seem also to be forgetting that when we refer to the sun being out, or the moon being bright, we're not talking about the celestial or astronomical entity so much as we are their light, their affect, their appearance, or something quite independent of a Copernican understanding of celestial bodies.
2740:: "Where there is uncertainty as to whether a term is generally accepted, consensus should be reached on the talk page". The articles I'm referring to are not "deviating" from the MoS. The problem is that different people interpret the MoS differently. How it is applied to individual articles is determined through talk page consensus in areas of uncertainty. I'm not going to engage in nitpicking that will be used to weasel out of the common and generally accepted meaning of the phrase "proper name".

Earth (or Sun) as a proper noun is capitalized. Common nouns are generally not especially when following an article such as the earth, a sun, or a planet. A "specific" astronomical body would be a proper noun. Using earth or sun in reference to a surface or stratum would not be capitalized like "the surface of the earth", "the surface of the sun", "...hotter than the surface of the sun", However, "The Sun is very hot" would be capitalized. Following the above it would seem that
4307:"Several" connotes more than a few --and denotes more than a few in American English as I learned it-- where "a number of" covers both few and several. The full article identifies more than a few respects in which this rendition was first among Rose Bowls, so the writer who digested the full article for Today's feature (several days ago) might well have used "several"; should have used it, in my opinion; and the revision by User:John is "copyediting towards clarity" per John.

2123:(AT) page . I think this shows that you do not fully understand the relationship between the MOS and AT policy. It has never been the consensus on the AT talk page that the MOS guidelines applies to article titles. The policy revolves around what is common usage in reliable sources, not the dictates of the Knowledge style guide. The Article titles policy has its own guidance on such things in guidelines that are called naming conventions. For example

do. How can it "not relate to style"? It is about article titles. If reliable sources are capitalising a title one way, UCN demands that we follow their capitalisation. UCN also tells us to write in the encyclopaedic register, and to view fellow encyclopaedias as more valuable for these purposes than every other news article. It being a policy means that it is higher ranked than guidelines in the roster of
Knowledge conventions.

I haven't really seen dash issues coming up since the big powwow in 2011. That area seems pretty stable and settled. And yes, the MOS is a guideline; nobody is required to follow it. But since it's a guideline, it's accepted practice, that therefore it's not a good idea to fight those who work to

The above example might not be a good one.

On the other hand, "the Moon" is a name, not a description, like "Luna" in Latin or "Selene" in Greek. Yes, if we had two moons, then you could indeed say "the cow jumped over the moon", and you might not be sure without further context which moon was being referred to. But in that case they would

That's quite a selective reading of my comment. That's what you saw in it, what you took from it? Okay.
