 * Hi, 12.180.133.18. I see that you posted a tag asking for help with this article. I'll be happy to assist you.


 * The capitalization on this article's title currently conforms to Wikipedia's manual of style guideline. Specifically, Wikipedia's Naming conventions (capitalization) guideline states that we're not supposed to "capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name". So, I'm going to leave this article's title alone. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to assist you further. Happy editing :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Medieval Islamic Civilization → Medieval Islamic Civilization: An Encyclopedia – Because "Medieval Islamic civilization" (lowercase c) can also mean Medieval Islamic world (currently a redirect to Islamic Golden Age), I think we should include the subtitle in this case to avoid confusion in linking (for users) and navigation (for readers). Because the original article title did include the subtitle, but was removed by technical request in 2020 by invoking WP:SUBTITLE (and MOS:TITLECAPS), there may be some people who disagree, so it's better to have an WP:RM about this than a WP:BOLD rename.

 * Comment Why does this article even exist? Are we a publisher's catalog? Walrasiad (talk) 20:10, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Good question. It would probably meet WP:GNG, because it is quoted frequently in other books (as far as I can see on Google Books), but this page is currently little more than a dictionary definition. It says nothing about the relevance of this reference work, just that it exists.... Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:18, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
