 * Support-- The painting has been reproduced in English books on Rembrandt for the last 150 years at least, always with the English name "Jeremiah lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem". I can't understand why the caption is in Dutch. Amandajm (talk) 03:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed to English. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * But Rembrandt was, in fact, Dutch, so it does seemt he Dutch should be favoured. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * English Wikipedia and all that. Of course, the article on the painting (if written) would have the original Dutch in addition to the English title. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * By the by, I think verwoesting may be more accurately translated as "devastation." It's a cognate of the German Verwüstung, incorporating the word for desert (Dutch: woestijn; German: Wüste) — and thus implies reducing something to a wasteland.
 * In any case, there's no need to capitalize "Destruction." Sca (talk) 17:28, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Unless you consider it part of a proper noun, like "Battle of Shiloh". It's a subtly different meaning capitalized and uncapitalized. Doesn't mean I know which one is right, of course. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:25, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If we're considering this the title of a work or art, it would seem that "lamenting" also should be capitalized.... Sca (talk) 22:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright. In short, there are as many ways to capitalize the title of this work as I have cousins. I don't think it detracts from the value of the image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:59, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * How many cousins do you have? Sca (talk) 16:52, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the count is 12 or 13 now. French-Canadian family. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
