Talk:D'Artagnan

On-screen
In At Sword's Point and the Young Blades TV series, the listed actors, Cornel Wilde and Hugh Dancy, play D'Artagnan's son. Note that in the similar listing in Porthos, Alan Hale, Jr. is not listed in the film with Wilde, as he, too, is playing the son. The IMDb lists Madam D'Artagnan, but no one as the swordsman, so perhaps only his wife, (the mother) appears there. In the more recent TV program, Charles Shaughnessy (better known for the TV series The Nanny) appeared as the elder swordsman. Hence, my changes. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Lowercase
For example, Manual of Style (trademarks): "Trademarks beginning with a one-letter lowercase prefix pronounced as a separate letter do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized (ex: d'Artagnan), but should otherwise follow normal capitalization rules." There is many examples of this practice: iBook, iTunes, iPod, eBay, etc. Don't remove a lowercase letter in the article just because you doubt it. Priority, you must specify the rule by reason of which you have erased it. --85.140.47.16 (talk) 15:05, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The Man in Question, you must specify the rule used for your claim "capitalized only at the start of a sentence". As you can see in examples above, use of lower case letters "at the start of a sentence" is acceptable, if the second letter is capitalized. See the start of a sentence in the articles: iBook, iTunes, iPod, eBay, etc. --85.140.47.16 (talk) 15:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) The "rule" in question applies to trademarks. 2) We're following precedent, including the capitalization of http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Les_Trois_Mousquetaires. Ccady (talk) 23:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There is still no evidence for the article's title. I agree, it is permissible to use a capital letter in the start of a sentence. But, the title of the article is not a sentence, it is a proper name. Thus, your "rule" (a reference to the novel) is unacceptable in this case, where used both variants. I hope you have a more powerful arguments in case of proper names. --91.78.98.33 (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
