Brian0918: /* Page capitalization */

==Page capitalization==
I notice a mix of pages with varying capitalization. Can we agree to use the same capitalization used on Wikipedia? I'm an admin on there with several years of experience with wikicode and their site and policies. Are you now an admin here, and are there any other admins besides you? --[[User:Brian0918|Brian0918]] 03:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
*Ahh, I see now there are a couple others. If you want to make me an admin, feel free, although we don't really have much of a vandalism problem here. :) --[[User:Brian0918|Brian0918]] 03:42, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
