Hello, Paddy. I noticed that you had made a large volume of edits to President of the United States. Mostly, these edits seemed to be designed to capitalize the title. However, the title should only be capitalized when it is used as a title. Please see The Manual of Style for further details.  Douglasmtaylor  T / C  23:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

This project, it should be noted, is meant to be shared with the entire English-speaking world. Even if the older usage in the United States was to capitalize that title, that is not the style in this project. (As a professional writer and editor in the U.S., I certainly would strike any such capitalization, considering it an Anglicized affectation showing a deference unworthy the citizens of a democratic republic; but that's my personal stylebook, not a criticism of your own preferences.) -- Orange Mike 14:25, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
