Hey, why did you start changing it??? Look in any encyclopedia (a actuall book) and ther titles are capitaized. When only "first words" are capitalized, we are putting the title into sentence form, which it is not. At least in the US... | Hey, why did you start changing it???

We're going to have to decide once and for all which to have:
- Capitalise all words in article titles except small ones like "of" and "to"; or
- Capitalise only the first word and proper nouns.
Discuss, so that I can start fixing them. Also, in-article headings is another matter; for that, I definitely think the second of the above would be right.GP 11:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I've always been for the latter option. Are there seriously so many pages to re-name?--Prezintenden
Im for the former... I think it makes the articles seem to have more quality. 68.39.16.71 09:04, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I used to prefer than on the same basis; but now, I think it makes it more difficult to determine which words should be capitalised and which not. Also, the second is what is used in most places, including Wikipedia.GP 12:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
