I think this should be "American Civil War centennial". The word "centennial" should be lower-case because this is not a proper noun. And I think it should be "American Civil War" because that's what we call the article about the war -- there have been many different civil wars. cmadler (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

The name of this article has been changed from "Civil War Centennial" to "American Civil War Centennial", thus reducing the U.S.-centricity of hte title and more closely-matching the retrospective name granted to the observance by historian Robert Cook (who is cited) in his standard history of the implementation of and mishaps in the Centennial. However, this editor believes that "ACWC" is a proper noun and therefore the word "Centennial" ought to be capitalized. Bigturtle (talk) 17:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
