Herr Redman, can you please organize a vote?
Hmm it seems we have reached consensus here. Both the vote and the
discussion seem to say:
Use Sentence case but capitalise proper nouns (i.e. names, places, god,
etc)
The question which remains is how strict should this guideline be.
There does not seem to be a clear consensus, but since Latin is a rather
obscure case fro style, and since everybody agrees that the context (or
host language) does factually influence capitalization, it makes sense to
have a relatively loose guideline.
Someone (I forgot who) proposed that the above guideline should be
applied, if
a) text is in all caps or all lowercase,
b) text is capitalized inconsistently throughout a series, artist or even
release.
I would add that the guideline is a recomendation in all other cases.
Two questions to the community:
1: Does anybody have a veto agains the general choice of capitalization
(disregarding the strictness)?
2: How strict should the guideline be?
