Inconsistent Capitalization

Postby joe1203 » Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:01 pm

I found that sometimes, the prepositions in the middle of name/articles is being capitalized, but sometimes not
is it the right time to standardize the name?

We do have guidelines on capitalisation, but the updaters do not always follow them. To be fair, minor issues such as these are not their top priority, and I think they often go with how the uploader capitalises the song names. When I spot issues like these on songs/games I'm working on in the archive, I will correct them. However, I do not consider it a top priority to look specifically for these errors. I at least try to ensure capitalisation is consistent within a game.
