Thanks for the note. I have done this incorrectly on many hundreds of pages here. In future ...

If it was only English, it's relatively easy to fix with TABernacle. I could give it a try tomorrow.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

Was not aware of TABernacle. You are welcome to give it a shot!

Oh, nice, there are only 1040 unique pages you've edited in namespace, which is certainly a doable amount with the tool (sorry for not linking it).

As far as such capitalisation issues in general are concerned, I'll raise this at the project chat, as I've now encountered three editors with decent edit counts in a period of two days who weren't aware of the guideline, and I think this is something that should be mentioned in any of those introduction popups a new editor sees when they do their first edits.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

No worries. Actually I forgot to add the correct namespace to the page for the tool in my reply.

Indeed, it will be nice to have a note to introductions. This probably applies to many languages and I am sure every one of it handles it differently.

I had stepped back from this task as I had found other work, but now I'm trying to finish this. As I have no knowledge about martial arts, could you please tell me if "Strongman athlete" should be capitalised? Thanks!

I'd seen that, too, but I'd also seen strongman (Q1852228), which did confuse me. I'll keep it as is then.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

I guess you are better off asking a native English speaker here. English is rather confusing when it comes to capitalization, as bad as German, probably even more. :D

I probably copied it over from somewhere and forgot to change it to German.

1234qwer1234qwer4 (talkcontribs)

Done (German and English), see (with some unrelated changes on the go) for reference. I have also fixed some other issues with descriptions, like descriptions beginning with articles or ending with full stops, and descriptions created as sentences (and one or another typo/punctuation fix). See also Help:Description/de for German descriptions.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

Thanks a ton. I will have a peep on the changes, also to see how they would like to do it. I disagree with some of the recommendations but it will be too exhausting not to adhere. Lucky us. :)

1234qwer1234qwer4 (talkcontribs)

Yeah, I do think articles could be useful sometimes, but I guess leaving them out altogether is more consistent.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

That's basically why I adhere. I am a fan of consistency even if it is ... ;)

Danke für den Hinweis. Ja, die lieben Beistrichregeln. :| Ansonsten bin ich der Herde hinterhergelaufen. :|

1234qwer1234qwer4 (talkcontribs)

Die meinte ich gar nicht, es ging um die Kleinschreibung.

Kghbln (talkcontribs)

Dies hat mich indes mehr gewurmt. Aber ja, das meinte ich mit der Herde, da zu dem Zeitpunkt meiner Bearbeitung die englischsprachige Version ebenfalls nicht astrein war.
