Request Information

 * Request made by:


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * This debate is taking place at Talk:DeviantART


 * Who's involved?
 * myself and User:Chriscf


 * What's going on?
 * User:Groggy Dice announced that a proposal at WP:RM about changing the name of the article deviantART to deviantArt as per WP:MOS-TM. However, me and Chriscf are strongly holding our positions and interpretation of the above guideline. Chriscf supports changing the name to deviantArt because the capitalization as it stands now in his view violates english conventions, as shown in point 3 in WP:MOS-TM. However, in my view, Nobody uses the spelling of deviantArt, and is contradictive to where the guideline says "but, don't invent new formats: MCI is standard English, while "Mci" is essentially never used." and as a matter of camel case, point 6 says that it is up to editors to figure how to name the article.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * I would like an outside view about what to do about this.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * No. Present all help at the talk page in question.
