Wikipedia have this daft policy that only proper names can be capitalised. At least three people have argued that bird species eg American Kestrel are correctly capitalised, but to no avail. The weakness of the Wiki way is, of course, that people who know the "real world" capitalised version use it, and therefore miss any links to related articles. Thus Horned Grebe goes nowhere, but Horned grebe does. jimfbleak 06:00 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)
- This is one of the things which redirects are for. Just redirect the "unofficial" capitalization to the "official" one, and everyone's happy. Bryan
It would have helped if the kestrel redirect had been given an explanation here jimfbleak 06:21, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
does it really matter how you capitalize it no matter how you do it its still saying the same thing
