Talk:Amazonas (Colombian department)

WP style capitalization
This page was moved 1 December 2012 from "Amazonas Department" to "Amazonas department", same change of capitalization happened to all other department of Colombia articles. The reason given was WP:LOWERCASE.

WP:LOWERCASE says proper names are exempted, now one can debate whether "department" is part of the proper name. Different styles exist. At Talk:An_Giang_province AP style and Chicago style are mentioned. As confirmed at that talk page the WP style is using upper case format "Amazon River", "Amazon Basin", "Guajira Peninsula".

So I think in the English Wikipedia the name should be "Amazonas Department" as it was established for years. NVanMinh (talk) 05:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

– I'm proposing this change to match the format of other country subdivisions named Amazonas in South American, i.e. Amazonas (Brazilian state) and Amazonas (Venezuelan state).
