: I had previously changed "earth" to "Earth" in articles here, but after reading the above, I guess the issue was more complicated than I thought.  Almost all proper nouns are capitalized, so I'll probably stick with that in my own writing.  But if there isn't a consistent prescriptive rule, maybe it's not worth mentioning yet (particularly since issues like article title capitalization are still very inconsistent here) --[[User:Interiot|Interiot]] 11:48, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

:: We do have a required style for article titles, and I have a [[user:Philip J. Rayment/Article renaming project‎ |page]] where other editors have been listing pages needing renaming/moving.  [[Young Earth Creationism]] and [[Old Earth Creationism]] have recently been listed there, and I don't know what I should move them to, i.e. whether to use a capital or lower case "E".  This is why I've brought it up now.  [[User:Philip J.
