Capitalization of belcastro
How come sarah-marie belcastro doesn't like her name capitalized? Sources? I am not aware of any other occurrences of this, any links I can read on this? Perseguidor 18:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks like http://www.toroidalsnark.net/ is her homepage. I wish whoever had left the comment in the wiki had mentioned a source, though. Silence(water) 22:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Downtime
The entire Hampshire College network seems to be off-line right now. JWSchmidt 03:32, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It is okay now. JWSchmidt 18:17, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Introduction
It's too long according to WP:MOS. Something should be moved to another section. --M4gnum0n (talk) 08:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you meant instead to reference LEAD and not the whole manual of style. If you did, please note that section has been the subject of contention; that section also expressly contains the words "as a general guideline" and "the following suggestion may be useful".  With that in mind, please come up with more useful, concrete suggested edits than just "it's too long". If you didn't mean to reference LEAD, where in the manual of style did you mean to point to? Thanks, Lunch (talk) 23:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It's been a couple of weeks so I'm going to remove the tag. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the article, feel free to continue the discussion here.  Lunch (talk) 19:21, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization of Belcastro (continued)
Above, a commenter asked why sarah-marie belcastro didn't have her name capitalized in this article. (A link to her personal website was provided as evidence that she prefers downcase). It turns out that Wikipedia has a style rule that applies to this case, and requires normal caps: "For proper names and trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as k.d. lang, adidas and others), follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules."If we follow that rule, as we should, her name will be shown as Sarah-Marie Belcastro in this article. Does anyone object if I make the change to Belcastro's spelling in this article? EdJohnston (talk) 16:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Okey dokey. If k.d. lang doesn't get capitals, then that sounds about right.  I'll change it and leave a note in the note that's there.  Lunch (talk) 23:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Update
There's been a long, drawn-out discussion over whether our naming conventions should apply in cases like this over the last year. Long and the short of it, they do, both at K.D. Lang and here. I'm changing this to use standard capitalisation. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Update 2
I have recapitalised the name as per Thumperward above and previous comments. If Dr Belcastro uses lower case on her web site, it is most probably  for tyopographic effect, and she does not not appear to have stated any preference how her name should be written, and in any case this would have no  effect  on standard conventions, and those practiced in  the literary  trades. The en.Wiki follows normal accepted conventions for the capitalisation of Western names in Western print or electronic media.
