Wrong title?
“The Rejected Realms” would normally be capitalized at the start of a sentence, would it not? The region page on NS capitalizes it, and similar terms start with a capital letter in the article when at the start of a sentence (“The Realms,” “The RRA”), so why is the article title considered incorrect? —Commerce Heights (talk) 08:39, 15 January 2006 (GMT)
- I believe that the region page capitalizes it for the same reason NSwiki has to — but look at the title bar of your browser, where it is not capitalized. I'm not sure, but that might be the justification. → Ceo \ squawk 16:07, 15 January 2006 (GMT)
