Use of lower case

Latest comment: 10 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

@Dicklyon: I apologise for not replying to your earlier question about your edit which turns a lot of words in the article from title case to lower case. Briefly, my comments are:

Card names in the literature are either title or lower case in roughly 50/50 proportion. Neither is wrong. In a list including Obers and Unters it looks presentationally better if they all to follow title case and that's what the sources do.
A number of German nouns have been converted to lower case. German nouns are always in title case. These include: Ober, Unter, Jass, Skat, Schnapsen.

Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I never said it's "wrong" to capitalize game names, and I have no issue with those outside authors who do so; but it is Wikipedia style to use lowercase when things are not consistently capitalized in sources.

Re those German words, on review, I agree they have not been assimilated into English, so I will cap them. But not ace, king, ten, etc. , as "look better" isn't really part of the guideline. Dicklyon (talk) 16:45, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
