[edit]Hi,
@Joeyconnick: Regarding treating it in sentence case, according to MOS:LISTCASE, lowercase is best reserved for glossary entries where it is important to convey whether something is usually capitalised or not. Also it is not a complete sentence. So, does this not apply to the situation? Anoop Bhatia (talk) 01:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- No... check out role descriptions for nearly all filmographies... they are sentence case, not all lowercase. These are not glossary entries, so even if LISTCASE applied (and I would argue it doesn't, as a table is materially different way to present information than a list),
Use sentence case by default for list items, whether they are complete sentences or not. Sentence case is used for around 99% of lists on Wikipedia. Title case (as used for book titles) is not used for list entries.
applies. - Also rendered in sentence case are the entries in the frequent "Notes" columns.
- Whether something is a complete sentence or not in a table cell has absolutely zero bearing on whether you capitalize it. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Joeyconnick Doesn't capitalising the profession confuse the reader? According to MOS:FILMCAST, it should not be capitalised to distinguish between the character name and the job when used in place of the character name. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 05:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Joeyconnick Since you don't have an opinion on this, I think it would be a good idea to start a discussion. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 01:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- In what way don't I have an opinion? What led you to that determination? Because I took more than 12 hours to reply to you?
- No, it doesn't confuse the reader. Why are you making problems that don't exist? Cell data should be consistently rendered in sentence case. Period. There's no distinction between a character name and a role where someone is credited as a generic e.g. "The nurse" or "Officer" etc. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Compromise
[edit]I think we need to come to a consensus on the Escape Room conflict. The height she fell is fatal, but the second movie’s original version shows that she’s available. So we need to compromise on this. HiGuys69420 (talk) 17:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, we don't... status quo is that if you watch the first movie, the story is she died. The fact they retconned that occurrence doesn't change how we summarize the first movie. The summary for the sequel explains "surprise! she didn't die!"
- This description has persisted for years... because it's accurate. One person not agreeing does not require a new consensus. There is a consensus which is time tested. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- k so what's our consensus? HiGuys69420 (talk) 05:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I meant agreement? Is it basically keep it as it is and is it okay if I add an efn to the sequel article stating like "As depicted in Escape Room (2018)"? HiGuys69420 (talk) 05:52, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage in Canada (per cent)
[edit]I just notice this. You linked to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Percentages. In the second bullet point it says "The body of non-scientific/non-technical articles may use either the % symbol or the word(s) percent (American English) or per cent (British English): 10 percent; ten percent; 4.5 per cent." So, as that is not a scientific / technical article, the % sign was already acceptable. By the way according to https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2guides/guides/wrtps/index-eng.html?lang=eng&lettr=indx_catlog_p&page=9TeYbIhQbfVM.html from the Canadian government per cent is more common but percent is also acceptable.

- Apparently it was changed, dramatically, a year ago... it used to say "use percent in body text", basically. Which I 100% prefer but oh well. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. I was changing it based on that but then I realised it was changed. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Canadian coinage
[edit]Did you even bother to look for where I got those mintage figures? I have real life things going on at the moment so maybe instead of deleting content you could help by sourcing it? What you did just makes more work for those trying to improve the articles. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:29, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's not other editors' jobs to provide sources to material you add—it's your responsibility to source all your additions yourself. Otherwise, they are fair game for removal: please see WP:RS and WP:V. —Joeyconnick (talk) 07:00, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
In memoriam italics or quotation marks
[edit]Hi there,
For the phrase "In memoriam", why is it in quotation marks rather than italicized like other non-English words on the English Wikipedia? I have a featured list candidacy for the 96th Academy Awards and Sgubaldo is asking why it is not italicized. Cam you post your response in the featured list candidate page that I have wikilinked?
- Done. To summarize, it's fully Anglicized (appears in English-language dictionaries like esprit de corps) so not italicized per MOS:FOREIGNITALICS. As a segment of a larger TV program, it's a MOS:MINORWORK and so rendered with quotation marks. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
