 * "concerning" is not a minor word. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 16:28, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose: See http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/publi/adr/adr2009/09ContentsE.html - uses lower case "c". – ukexpat (talk) 16:46, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Support UNECE does not determine Wikipedia policy on capitalisation, Wikipedia does.  By our guidelines, it should clearly be capitalised.  Skinsmoke (talk) 04:18, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Request Could you point to the relevant wikipedia guideline? --RegentsPark (talk) 22:24, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment See Manual of Style (capital letters) under "Institutions", which says Proper names of specific institutions (for example, Harvard University, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, George Brown College, etc.) are proper nouns and require capitalization.  See also Article titles under Article title format, which states Use lower case, except for proper names: The initial letter of a title is almost always capitalized; subsequent words in a title are not, unless they are part of a proper name, and so would be capitalized in running text; when this is done, the title will be simple to link to in other articles: Northwestern University offers more graduate work than a typical liberal arts college.  But perhaps, most importantly, see Naming conventions (capitalization), which states Convention: For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless the title is a proper noun. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper noun that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence. and In general, each word in English titles of books, films, and other works takes an initial capital, except for articles ("a", "an", "the"), the word "to" as part of an infinitive, prepositions and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., "on", "from", "and", "with"), unless they begin or end a title or subtitle. Examples: A New Kind of Science, Ghost in the Shell, To Be or Not to Be.  Skinsmoke (talk) 17:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is not an institution, so the normal capitalisation rules should apply and the article called European agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods. The article title already has too many capitals!  Further, the article says that the agreement's short title (ADR) is based on the French title of the agreement [Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route] – which we see has no capitals except on the first word. There is no justification for capital mania in the en.w article. This request should be denied and be replaced by a new one deleting all capitalisation other than the initial word. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
