Talk:List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas (1700–1799)

capitalization of common nouns
@Imzadi1979 reverted this edit out of the good-faith belief that the phrase "farm-to-market road" is a proper noun in this context. I wholeheartedly agree that the name of each farm-to-market road (for example, Farm to Market Road 1781) is a proper noun, but I haven't seen the source that suggests that the Texan practice is to capitalize the phrase when it is not part of the name of a specific, individual road. ~TPW 15:34, 31 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @True Pagan Warrior:, p. 14 for one example. In Texas, they do not hyphenate the phrase, and they do capitalize it, thus "Farm to Market Road" or "Ranch to Market Road".
 * Any discussion on changing this one article would impact dozens of others, so at a minimum, the change should have been reverted to prevent one article from being inconsistent with many others.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the source, and for refactoring the intent of the revert. If you have a sense of the best place to have that conversation, I'll gladly take that guidance. ~TPW 16:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
