Talk:MF Doom/FAQ

Why doesn't Wikipedia write "MF DOOM" in all caps?

Wikipedia uses lowercase for two reasons:


 * Wikipedia has its own manual of style, and does not write things in BLOCK CAPS. See MOS:ALLCAPS for more information.


 * Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, especially secondary sources, and the majority use lowercase.

Why does Wikipedia say MF Doom was British-American?

Wikipedia is based on reliable secondary sources. These sources variously describe Doom as American, British-American or British-born.

The consensus among Wikipedia editors is that "British-American" is the best compromise for the lead sentence. It reflects the plurality of sources and is a reasonable interpretation of his identity. The complexity of MF Doom's nationality and citizenship is described in detail in the article body.
