Capitalization[edit]

As WP:Citing sources § Citation style states: "Wikipedia does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style. A number of citation styles exist including those described in the Wikipedia articles for Citation, APA style, ASA style, MLA style, The Chicago Manual of Style, Author-date referencing, Vancouver system and Bluebook." The current title capitalization style for this reference list is sentence case, which is the standard in the major English-language library catalogs such as WorldCat and the Library of Congress, and is also consistent with APA style (among other citation styles), where title case is used to capitalize the titles of reference works when they occur in the body of a paper, but sentence case is used to capitalize the titles of reference works when they occur in reference list entries (bibliographies such as this article).

Page is about list of books, title should be displayed as is, not sentence case. If you still don't agree, go ahead and request a Wikipedia:Third opinion. Baking Soda (talk) 09:22, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your contributions to the list! It's not a question of whether I agree or disagree on capitalization; I don't have a strong opinion whether titles are capitalized in title case or sentence case. What concerns me is consistency of citation style. As the passage quoted above from WP:Citing sources § Citation style states: "Wikipedia does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style." For consistency, I have changed some of your edits to sentence case (following the standard in the major English-language library catalogs such as WorldCat and the Library of Congress, as well as APA style, among other citation styles) because that is the easiest way to make the citation style consistent across the entire reference list as it currently stands. If you wish to expend the effort to change all citations to title case, I won't object. Biogeographist (talk) 19:32, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
