Bird article name (capitalisation)

edit

FYI, For 10+ years, wikipedia has usually capitalized common bird names in article titles. There is now a proposal to reverse that convention. Read more and if you like comment at Talk:Crowned CraneNewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:18, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Common name of species are not capitalised

edit

Following discussions on Talk:Crowned crane#Requested move, on Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2014 March#Black crowned crane and especially on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Bird common name decapitalisation, it is now clear that the consensus is not to capitalise the common (vernacular) name of all species.

The guidelines are detailed on Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Animals, plants, and other organisms.
