User talk:Sparkit/capitalization

(Barging in) Just to say this is a very useful excercise, but arabesque should not be here, as it is not a movement or style but a decorative motif or element. Note also that the OED and Grove have mutually exclusive definitions of what an arabesque is, both of which are, as it happens, wrong when compared to usage by museums. The OED at least have the excuse that their's is unchanged since 1880 or whenever. Covered in the article. It should not be capitalized but most proper art movements should be.
