Upper case bird names
Hi Buzz: Great to see a new editor working on bird articles! One comment though — we birders lost an argument about the capitalization of bird names; Wikipedia's manual of style says we have to use "sentence case". That means words like "Florida" are uppercase (obviously, since it's the name of the state) but words like "scrub jay" are not. That's why you'll see that the name has been lowercased again in the Florida scrub jay article. Also, if you use the "cite web" parameter, be sure to add the url! :) Let me know if you have any questions. MeegsC (talk) 08:12, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * By the way if you're interested in birds, why don't you join us at WP:BIRDS? We're always looking for new editors... MeegsC (talk) 08:12, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Meegs: Thank you for clarifying. I thought capitalization depended upon the public media custom...but I decided to try it with this species the first bird I've edited. I think we should do what our American birding organizations/ornithologists recommend and do, to identify that we are talking specifically about a particular internationally agreed upon species, and not just a bird's name that could vary in general.But can't argue with Wikipedia, such a wonderful world resource. Looks like you have hummingbirds! Good photos. I'll have to find out how to post photos. Though I'm focused in the next couple of months on a project, I'll have more time after that to do more bird editing, perhaps. How do I join you all at WP:BIRDS ? I'll have to read up more on editing, as I just copy what others' do...so make mistakes. As now I'm trying to figure out how to answer you! Hope you get this? Please let me know for sure. I learn something every time. Cheers, appreciation for your kindness. Buzzexpress (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)]
