 * Incorrect capitalization Sally6767 (talk) 13:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Object. Per WP:CAPS and MOS:CAPS, we should only capitalise if Shyster is an acronym and that does not appear to be the case here. Jenks24 (talk) 13:39, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose there are actually two reason for allcaps. First being the acronym, and the second being if each individual letter was pronounced though I see no evidence for the first or that SS-heih-Why-ss-tee-ee-arr is the proper pronounation.--174.93.167.177 (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Jenks24,

My apologies if isn't the appropriate place to send you this message. SHYSTER is an acronym -- see:


 * SHYSTER site at the Australian National University
 * SHYSTER site at the Australian National University

I think it stands for something like "Sack Half Your Staff, Try Expert Retrieval".

Thanks very much Sally6767 (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Sally. You could have replied there, but it's fine to discuss it here as well. Thanks for the links, I had a look at them and, although SHYSTER is capitalised in both, I couldn't actually I find anything that said SHYSTER is an acronym. Did I miss something? If not, would it be possible to provide a source that does state that it's an acronym? Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Jenks24. I learnt that it was an acronym from the developer of the system, Dr Popple.  But I don't think I have anything in writing.  Thanks Sally6767 (talk) 16:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Copied from my talk page. Jenks24 (talk) 07:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. SHYSTER is an acronym (see above). Thanks very much for your consideration. Sally6767 (talk) 08:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose unpublished information saying that this is an acronym requires that we published WP:Original research, specifically, unpublished research by Sally6767. Since Sally6767 has not indicated that she has published this information elsewhere, in a reliable source, it cannot be used. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 06:45, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
