The first letter of each word should be capitalised. Whilst not grammatically correct, it ensures the site is consistent and easy to administer (even for non native speakers of a particular language). This approach helps to avoid 'edit wars' where users change the text to their own preferred style, and then somebody else overrides it (with no rules to say what should be used). Otherwise, BEA would need a style book for every language on earth, which simply isn't viable.) If a word is hyphenated, all parts should be capitalised (e.g. Merry-Go-Round rather than Merry-go-round). If a word begins with an apostrophe, it should be capitalised (e.g. 'Til, 'Twas, 'Tis). If a word contains an apostrophe after the first letter, only the first part of the word should be capitalised (e.g. L'accord instead of L'Accord & We've instead of We'Ve). Any abbreviations & acronyms should follow what is written on the release, including any punctuation (if used). Intentional capitalization can also be entered as per the release (if a word does not mean anything in any language).

Thank you.

I was just sent a message about not following the capitalization guidelines for this site. I don't remember ever seeing any capitalization guidelines for this site and I looked just now, and I can't find any guidelines now either. Where are these guidelines that I'm supposed to be following?
