Capitalization

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your Template:sgs contributions. I should point out that Wiktionary is not like Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, every entry has to be capitalized (software requirement). Here we don’t do that. In a word such as Akls, I’m pretty sure that it does not need to be capitalized like the name of a country. People probably write it akls (except at the beginning of a sentence). This means that Akls should be moved to akls, and all similarly capitalized entries should be moved to the lowercase as well. Only proper nouns, such as personal names, country names, city names, etc., have their entries capitalized, since capitalization is an orthographical requirement for those words. Most words, including common nouns and adjectives, are not capitalized (except in a few languages like German, which capitalizes all nouns). —Stephen (Talk) 11:43, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I went ahead and moved the capitalized entries to the lowercase spellings. —Stephen (Talk) 12:44, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
