[edit] Capitalisation

As far as I can tell, "Tagesschau" is capitalised, both in Germand and English, except in the domain name tagesschau.de. User:ThomasK disagrees, citing the German wikipedia (which capitalises it) and http://tagesschau.de (which capitalises it in the page title).

I do not see any evidence at all for the spelling tagesschau, and I'm going to revert to the capitalised spelling.

Look to tagesschau.de . I corrected the article. The ARD tagesschau on the internet and on TV is not capitalised. --ThomasK 05:10, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

All German nouns, whether common or proper, are capitalised. "Tagesschau" is a German noun. Therefore... - RTB

Lower-case initial tagesschau and tagesthemen are the style, or branding, of these programmes -- as used in on-screen idents and on the programmes' own websites. That said, they could change back to Tagesschau and Tagesthemen as soon as the next graphic designer is appointed to the news department and decides on another makeover; the lower-case forms (logos) don't have to be (and, in my view, ought not to be) used in other, outside references to them. Just look at ARD's own online schedules, where they are shown as Tagesschau and Tagesthemen. -- Picapica 12:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
