Such a person is very clearly is no position whatsoever to be making grammatical and spelling pronouncements. This isn't a "grammar flame" - I don't really care if you spell correctly in articles, since someone will fix it if you don't, and not being a great speller doesn't make you a bad person or a big dummy. But entering a grammar debate on your part is probably a rather poorly-conceived idea. I don't have any beef with the fact that some (not all) specialist dog and bird publications like to capitalize breed & common names (meanwhile no one else does, in any other context). [[WP:NOT|WP is
134:, there is a content section called "External links". In this section, the bottom link; "Ultimate Disc Info - Informational organization comparing flying discs for ultimate.", links to a web site that is not only abusing my Trade Name, but using a triangulated linking of 4 web sites to point to their online store that only sells 1 type of flying disc. You can follow the Ace links and the "Frisbee" infringement web site too from the link in this category.
473:; it is a general encyclopedia, and as such it uses general, everyday English, not dog specialist conventions (to the extent that they are conventions at all, which is limited). The supposed problem of not capitalizing breed names is easily avoided by simply writing clearly, which is what we're supposed to be doing here in the first place. A greyhound is both a breed and type of breed, depending upon how you write the sentence. More on this at

and WP more generally do not recognize any such "exception" at all, and yet you are insisting on one and editwarring with me over the matter. In closing, I reiterate that there is zero point in us continuing a personal, one-on-one discussion about this. It's a policy matter, and has been taken up at

more generally, in certain context, but that doesn't make it a different word, much less call for capitalization. In the few circumstances in that or any other article where there could be confusion, simply say "the greyhound class of breeds" or something to that effect, verus "the greyhound breed",

Are you really going to remove the capitals from all breed names on all Wiki pages? How amusing; how bizaar! If you really believe I don't have a clue what I'm talking about, then read the breed standards. Read the Wiki page on the

PS: I don't mean to be insulting, but I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about, if you insist on capitalizing random non-proper nouns, like "science" as you just did above. I have no further interest in discussing this with you as a personal matter on my talk page. I've taken this to

Please read the comments I made on this on the
Greyhound discussion page in January 2010. If you change the capitalisation of the word you change the meaning of the word. You may feel entitled to dictate lower case thanks to a house style guide, but that does not correspond to the historical reality
345:
Again, insult is not my intent. But I cannot pretend there isn't something deeply, deeply problematic about someone who can't properly capitalize words like "science" and "kennel club", or spell words like "bizarre", insisting that their capitalization of words like "greyhound" is somehow correct.

Being a geeky person (I am, myself) by nature is not the same as enforcing a geeky, highly specialist use of language on probably the single most generalist audience in the entire world. So don't misconstrue, please. Most people whose writing is criticized by someone else feel that the critic is

You were the one who started the ad hominem argument, not me. For someone who did not want to appear to waste time on this, you are doing exactly that. National Kennel Clubs like to capitalise their own names, as they do with their breed names. If you change that, you are not reflecting the

My legal is sending a cease and desist where it pertains to the use of our Trade Name. I would ask you to consider how they are a value to the category if they are really only a sales site selling one disc, and using the terms
