[edit] Capitalization of the different tiger species/articles...

Hey buddy,

I was recently working on the tiger article and I noticed that you corrected the capitalization of common names of all the specific species of tiger. What brought this to my attention was that you used two-parameter links for all the names, i.e. [[Siberian Tiger|Siberian tiger]]. I then followed the links to their respective articles and found that the article names capitalize the letters of both words, yet the bolded article names don't.

We should make an effort to ascertain which style is correct, then fix/move these articles appropriately so that formatting remains consistent throughout. How certain are you that specific tiger species don't need the first letter in "tiger" capitalized? --Lantoka 05:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello again,
You did indeed answer my questions. Thank you.
The reason this caught my eye is that it must get pretty tedious after awhile to go [[Siberian Tiger|Siberian tiger]] everytime you link such a thing, when the correct capitalization is actually "Siberian tiger" and it is possible to name the articles according to that nomenclature as well. My thinking is that if we can be sure that is the correct way of capitalizing it, then we should rename all of the articles appropriately, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions.
However, I ran across something while digging for that link. The Wikipedia project dealing with birds has a standardized nomenclature that contradicts your assertion (and perhaps correct English, as well). They consider the names of any specific species of a general animal a proper noun and assert that it should be capitalized:

What do you think of this? —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 08:27, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I put a warning on her talk page to be civil, but I don't think she reads her talk page; I wish she'd sign her own comments for once, too. --Disavian 07:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Molly's

Re your recent edit of French Quarter: My understanding was that Johnny Whites was open constantantly, whereas Molly's at the Market was open a good amount of time, but was closed on and off. -- Infrogmation 16:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LACMTA Map

Yes thanks for tipping me off to the typos. I noticed about 2 weeks ago and normally I would immediately correct and reupload the image, but im almost finished with a version 2.0's of all the maps. You should see them up within the next week. RickyCourtney 04:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
