incorrect spelling "Ancient Greece", "Ancient Rome", "Ancient Egypt", etc.

{{Editprotected}}

I've tried to get rid of this erroneous spelling in most articles and titles (except where first word), but an administrator has to fix this problem (=> ancient) in all the categories. All references to "ancient Greece" and "ancient Greeks" (and the Roman and Egyptian and other equivalents) should be spelled that way. In the case of the language "Ancient Greek" as a noun and adjective and the demonym "ancient Greek(s)" as a noun and adjective, one has to be careful where to capitalise and where not.

Is there some way of automating this kind of correction in numerous articles? --Espoo 10:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

That template is to ask an admin to edit a protected page. You should be able to correct spelling errors without needing an administrator. If an article you want to edit is protected, put the {{Editprotected}} template on that article's talk page. If the mispelling is in the title, you can move the page to the correct title. See Help:Moving a page. If I have misunderstood what you need, or can otherwise help, please leave a message on my talk page. Tom Harrison ^Talk 18:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

This not a misspelling - it is a difference in style. You may be more familiar with not capitalising, others are more familiar with capitalising. Both are right

I often see Ancient rather than ancient Greece, and Imperial rather than imperial Rome. I'm not convinced we need to dictate one particular rule. Let the authors of each article address style issues based on what is most suitable for the audience they are targetting the article at. Different articles will be targetted at different audience. We shouldn't presume that a one-size-fits-all style is desirable here, jguk 18:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree, in general, that it should be the individual editor's choice, unless it involves a linking issue, and then piping and redirects are always available. I think part of the problem is with considering Ancient Greece either a time-bounded locale (no cap), or a geographically-bounded time period (likely cap). --Bejnar 18:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
