Format[edit]

Is the format we've chosen at Wiktionary for place names to use a capital letter for the initial word, then lower case for all subsequent words? 71.66.97.228 08:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, we use the correct capitalization. In this case, there is no need to capitalize hahoodzo. Wikipedia is famous (or infamous) for capitalizing words inappropriately (such as w:Red Fox, which should be red fox).
Anyway, few languages capitalize as much as English does. I think German is the only one that does, but they at least do it systematically and logically. In Navajo, few words need capitalization, except perhaps stylistically in headers or titles. —Stephen 12:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
