"Gravitational" is not a person's name
editTwice I have found this in this article:
- . . . where is the Gravitational constant and . . .
and changed it to this:
- . . . where is the gravitational constant and . . .
One of those occasions was in 2017 and the other today.
Are there persons editing this article who think that
- this word should generally begin with a capital letter, or
- the first letter of a link should be a capital letter?
I think that second alternative is against Wikipedia's style conventions, and I doubt that the first alternative is conventional anywhere. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:19, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- The cap G has been there continuously since the paragraph was added by an unregistered editor in January 2018. Most likely the editor lazily pasted the title of the article. It's not policy to capitalize all links. Automatic capitalization, making water equivalent to Water, allows links to be capitalized or not according to context, without always having to pipe [[Water|water]] when the word occurs within a sentence. —Tamfang (talk) 00:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
