Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard
| Are independent, secondary sources considered reliable to state the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was formerly known by the names "Bull and Terrier", "Bull Terrier", "Pit dog", "Half and Half" and "Bulldog Terrier"? Cavalryman (talk) 02:52, 8 February 2022 (UTC) |
| Vision Therapy is an umbrella term for many practices, some of them fraudulent, but many of them - based on my own and several family-members' experiences - not fraudulent. Going by the rest of the talk page, I am far from the only one who's upset that this whole entire field of medicine is being framed as a pseudoscience - but the fact that most of the existing sources are sneerish handwringing about the efficacy studies which have been done, makes it hard to actually edit the thing. People just revert it for "removing sourced content". I need help.2406:5A00:329C:4600:6496:382F:F297:11C5 (talk) 06:04, 6 February 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:House system at the California Institute of Technology
| The names of two buildings, the South Houses and North Houses, have been capitalized in this article since it was created in 2005. There have recently been discussions and edits proposing that these terms should be lowercase. The disagreement arises from whether these building names are proper nouns, and whether the sources using capitals constitute a "substantial majority".
According to MOS:CAPS, "In English, proper names, which can be either single words or phrases, are typically capitalized," and "Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia." This RfC applies to this article as well as the related articles History of the Caltech house system, Campus of the California Institute of Technology, and California Institute of Technology. Please !vote whether to retain uppercase or change to lowercase. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 03:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC) |
