Rename site?[edit]
Shouldn't this page be called 'White people', instead of "white people" just like it can be found in White America (Q2566846) or Black people (Q817393)? --Jaleks (talk) 14:26, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- According to Help:Label, "Labels begin with a lowercase letter except for when uppercase is normally required or expected. Essentially, you should pretend that the label is appearing in the middle of a normal sentence, and then follow normal language rules. Most terms would not be capitalized if they appeared in the middle of a sentence, however proper nouns such as the names of specific people, specific places, specific buildings, specific books, etc., should be capitalized." So it comes down to whether "white" is a proper noun or not. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it says "white, or less commonly White : of or relating to any of various population groups considered as having light pigmentation of the skin. Note: The meaning of white as it relates to population groups has historically been fluid, with people of particular ancestries being excluded for a time before being included, and vice versa. The category has also often functioned as a grouping into which people who are not designated as belonging in some other category are placed. Specific parameters are, however, sometimes set, as in the U.S. 2020 Census, which stipulates that 'the category of 'White' includes all individuals who identify with one or more nationalities or ethnic groups originating in Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.'"
