::I do have that same PDF-manual, and that is reason enough for me to write them with capitals. :) β[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 08:31, 8 September 2015 (CEST) | ::I do have that same PDF-manual, and that is reason enough for me to write them with capitals. :) β[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 08:31, 8 September 2015 (CEST) | ||
::: From what I can tell, the game designers are attempting to follow the rules of English in the manuals, but they do make a few mistakes. For example, the word 'angels' is capitalized at the beginning of sentences and also when it's part of a title. Everywhere else it's lowercase, with the exception being once in the tutorial manual when 'Archangels' is randomly used in the middle of a sentence (however, in the very next paragraph, it's back to 'archangels'). So if we are following the manual, we are also actually following the <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization) wikipedia capitalization conventions]</span>.

Like Ibraesil mentioned on the Crypt talk page, the problem is deciding when something is considered a proper noun by the game designers. For this we can search the [[Word_list_from_the_manuals|word list]] and if it is unclear, we might need to check the [[:Category:Manuals|manuals]] to see the context and decide if it has been most consistently used as a proper noun or not. For each subject, we can put our decisions in the [[Capitalization Reference|capitalization reference]]. | ||
