==Capitalization of headings== Hi Machnikm. Thanks for your contributions to the Missouri Republican Party article. I have point out though that you are using incorrect capitalization on the headings of the article. I fixed this once before in November, but I see you're doing it again, so I'm going to ask you to fix your own work this time. The Wikipedia style for capitalizing headings is to use "sentence case" instead of "title case", e.g., :Important things to know about this subject not: :Important Things to Know About This Subject This may be unfamiliar to many editors who believe that or have been taught that "title case is the right way to capitalize headings". It isn't the "right way", it is one style. Wikipedia has, for better or worse, chosen to follow a different style, i.e., capitalize the heading the same way you would capitalize any sentence: *capitalize the first word, *capitalize any proper nouns (people, places, organizations), and *begin all other words with lower case letters. See WP:MSH for more information. Thanks, Ground Zero | t 02:34, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
