Knowledge. They are always written "Governor General" or "Lord Lieutenant." Very occasionally you might see "governor general" or "lord lieutenant" To my mind using only one capital is incorrect anywhere. Does it happen differently in US? Is the "Vice President " written "vice President" or "Vice president ?" If so the rules should be different with articles about British subjects to articles about USA or other countries that do not follow British conventions. For the moment if I see somebody described as "Governor general of Canada," . "Lord lieutenant of Leicestershire " or "high Sheriff of Nottingham" I shall change them.
230: 171: 309: 129: 264: 178: 170: 177: 810:. The MOS doesn't need to try and determine every individual thing. Some things need to be decided on a case-by-case basis; and I don't think the argument has been convincingly made that this is a situation where one framing makes a better default than the other or where uniformity would benefit the wiki. -- 1337:
I agree with everything so far In "President Ronald Reagan " it is part of his name. In "US president Ronald Reagan" it is not. But if it were written "President of the USA Ronald Reagan" that would be correct. It would not be part of Reagan's name but it is a specific office which is a name itself.
1177:
Where a post has more than one word we continually see very odd looking capitalisation (note my spelling. Please do not alter it. British spelling and conventions are important in this discussion) I have never seen such posts as Governor general or Lord lieutenant written in that way anywhere outside
1036:
If a (traditionally) gendered term for an occupation exists, which we (or sources) would normally use for a cis person in that profession, then I think it's generally preferable that articles should insistently use those terms when describing binary trans people, and try to avoid them when describing
953:
I don't really get it myself. Major cinematographers who have worked in the US are not in ASC are very rare, so I wouldn't think it's such a noteworthy "achievement" it is worth noting immediately. Not to mention, it is not an honor, and the criteria for being in ASC is not particularly stringent. It

for all people whose job it is to fight fires, etc., regardless of gender. To me "waiter" is as gender-free as "doctor" and "firefighter". I don't want to be forced into using gendered noun forms for random subjects merely because those subjects prefer to use gendered pronouns, when I would normally

is not something that we ought to be prescribing in the MOS, it's a matter of grammar. Option B is the standard order, whereas option A sounds distinctly odd to this native speaker. As to whether "retired" or "former" should be in the opening sentence, I would say no as a general rule – though there
1096:
we should use the gendered form that matches the gender identify of the subject, then of course we should. For instance we should not use "waitress" for someone who does not identify as female, obviously. But if that is the intended meaning then it did not come across. If so, we should replace the
1111:
I like DE's new version. I was ok with the status quo ante. I see this section used very frequently to deal with garden-variety transphobia, and I've never encountered a dispute over good-faith use of "waitress" vs. "server", or an analogue. I'm sure it happens occasionally.
651:. In general I would avoid "retired" or "former" in the opening sentence. If someone is notable for being an actor then that's what the first sentence should say. If they haven't acted for a while, that can be explained in more detail later. On those occasions when "former" 499: 950:, it's even included as "title" in infobox. Was there ever any reason given for why this is? I did a search here, and it was seemingly only mentioned once in an unrelated discussion, with the person expressing confusion as to why it's in so many articles. 1012:
Obviously, language is evolving to ungender many nouns, and there are many where traditionally male forms are now acceptable for all people. And of course we shouldn't go out of our way to use archaic, uncommon, or invented forms e.g.
1040:
In this specific case I think referring to a trans woman as either a "server" or a "waitress" is fine. It's possible that a better example exists. But given the choice we should consistently refer to trans women film performers as
542:
Not everything needs to be mentioned in the opening sentence. I would omit the word “retired” from the first sentence (so: “X is an American actor”) and mention the retirement in a subsequent sentence later in the first paragraph.
1037:
non-binary people. This prescription circumvents an... unfortunate trend where speakers (unconsciously or maliciously) use ungendered language specifically for trans men and women, while gendering our cis counterparts.
954:
just means you are/were part of a club of cinematographers. Yes, "cinematography by (name) ASC" is a common credit, but so is "produced by (name) PGA", and I don't see uses of Producers Guild postnom in articles.
1156:
expressed my concerns with the previous wording much better than I could myself, and I much prefer the current version. Thank you everyone for keeping it civil, as I know this is a very contentious topic area.
533: 332: 1008:
I'm not in the interest of edit warring on a high-profile guideline, so I won't revert twice, but I would encourage David to self-revert back to the status quo, at least until a proper consensus develops.
1130:
I put the previous wording in while partly rewriting the section after the neopronouns RfC, to emphasize the scope of "gendered terms". I think this change still accomplishes that, so no objection here.
974:
The lead sentence should be concise: Academic (including honorary) degrees and professional qualifications may be mentioned in the article, along with the above, but should be omitted from the lead ...
565:
are no doubt exceptional cases where "former"/"retired" is actually a defining characteristic, such as for a person currently notable in one field and formerly notable in a totally different capacity.
337: 1075:
And we obviously should not bend out of our way to use archaic, uncommon, or invented forms e.g. firewoman, doctoress when the gender-neutral firefighter and doctor exist and are widely accepted
831:
correct answer - a professional does not retire from their nationality, only their profession. Therefore bios should say 'American former/retired actor' and NOT 'former/retired American actor'.
1356:
President, like other titles, should only be capitalized immediately before someone's name. In all other instances, it should be lowercase (recognizing there could be limited exceptions). --
992: 688:
And, like a few others here, I think the use of either adjective in the opening should be avoided unless being retired/former is a key component of understanding the subject.

Has anyone ever noticed that many cinematographer biographies include "ASC" after the name in the lead? Some even have it written out in full, like
