Quantum redactiones paginae "Vicipaedia:Taberna/Tabularium 14" differant

:Per your request I moved it, although perhaps we haven't heard from everyone on the subject. It seems the capitalization occurs whenever the two or three word combination is a "name" as opposed to a concept. Thus "Res publica" is a name on a page about the Roman concept of "public affairs/the state"; While "Res Publica Sinarum" is the name of a page about the "Republic of China". Thus the whole issue rests on whether the name refers to a generic concept where the adjective is merely modifying a noun, or the proper name of a thing. In the case of Medium Aevum, I would think it is a proper name referring to a specific historical period rather than a generic concept of "middle age".--[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 23:58, 29 Ianuarii 2010 (UTC)

:: But see [[Disputatio:Aetas ferrea]]. Personally, I think the tendency to capitalise these things is yet another specimen of English hegemony. Basically, it's the question of conventions, but perhaps surprisingly, conventions are also matters of cultural identities. Methinks, "Aetas Ferrea" etc. is as strange as the English convention according to which book and article titles are written with capital letters à la ''What Computers Still Can't Do'' (by Dreyfus), etc. I'm sure even this convention can be backed up by fancy rationalisations, but still I'm bound to remain unconvinced. But of course I'm ready to follow the norms, when publishing something in English. But when it comes to Latin, I plead for tolerance: there is no established norm according to which we ought to write either "Aetas Ferrea" or "aetas ferrea". I know I can't resist the ongoing Anglification of our world, and therefore I know I can't order people not to write "Aetas Ferrea". But as long as I'm with y'all, I hope nobody will change my little minuscules to capitals. I very seldom do anything impulsively, without knowing what I'm doing. Well, perhaps this outpouring is an exception... :-) --[[Usor:Neander|Neander]] 02:29, 30 Ianuarii 2010 (UTC)
