The use of capital letters
Typically, only the first word in the name of an article, heading, category, or subheading is capitalised, unless the name of the article is the name of a thing that would normally be capitalised when writing about it.


 * I approve of this point, but perhaps it could be reworded? --Jesse Groppi 00:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Discussion / thoughts on capitalisation

 * Thought about naming conventions. In the case of an encyclopaedia we can refer to "article" as the main object or entity in the wiki. However, in Wikieducator we have different types or categories of content: for instance project nodes which cluster around a specific project e.g. Learning4Content or a Country node like India; different categories of OER, eg books, handouts, courses, activities etc. Perhaps we should replace the word "article" with "page" which would cover all these different scenarios. In addition, do we need a definitions section in the guidelines?


 * I agree with using "page" instead of article. It's just habit for me to refer to them as articles, hehe.  I would think it's simpler to create a central glossary which can be linked to from each policy page, or from the main tutorial, and then elsewhere it can be assumed to be understood. --Jesse Groppi 02:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
