Talk:United States Courthouse (Austin, Texas, 1936)

COURTHOUSE versus COURT HOUSE
If you look at the photograph in the infobox, you'll find that in both places where the phrase appears on the facade the building does indeed say "COURT HOUSE", with a large central space roughly the same width as the space between the words "UNITED STATES." I agree that, at least in contemporary usage, it's more regular to combine that into the single word "courthouse," but I was describing what is actually written on the wall of the building. Still, if you feel that it's unclear or seems like an error to have it split into two, we could perhaps write "COURT HOUSE" or something like that?-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 20:25, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right. I see it in the picture. I was just going by the source that you cited at the end of the paragraph. I changed it to 2 words. Yoninah (talk) 20:28, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Title
Per the lead, which calls this the "Austin United States Courthouse", why isn't the article called that? I very much doubt the current title is the common name for the venue. And why the third version of the title in the infobox? Consistency please. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The official name of the building is "United States Courthouse"; the title is in the standard format for the names of articles about United States courthouses on Wikipedia (type "United States Courthouse" into the search bar and see all of the others); the year 1936 is included because Austin has two other U.S. courthouses completed in 1881 and 2012. The bold-faced phrase in the lede is in keeping with the Manual of Style's recommendations for inclusion of the title in the first sentence of an article, which say that "if the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the opening sentence, the wording should not be distorted in an effort to include it." The title of the infobox is the name under which the property is included in the National Register of Historic Places, which is standard practice for other NRHP articles, even when the name the NRHP uses is not the same as the title of the article.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 23:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
