Ahoy there! You seem to be doing a great job of figuring the ropes out for yourself. However, it may be helpful for you to know that every time you click "Save page," an entry is made in the recent changes list. Therefore it is recommended that, for minor edits, the Preview button be used, and the page not saved until it is done with being edited.

Capitalization

Ahoy there. Although there is no official policy regarding captialization of ranks, what Faulkston said here has become generally accepted. In other words, ranks shound NOT be capitalized, unless they are the only word[s] in a sentence, or at the start of one. Thanks. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 08:36, 24 March 2007 (PDT)

Capitalization

I'm actually quite surprised that OOO and YPP would not want to capitalize ranks and titles as in the English language they are seen as proper nouns and therefore require capitalization. This is accepted world wide when it comes to proper nouns and any published works (like some of mine). As I am sure you understand being a published writer, I tend to be somewhat critical of my own writing, and as such, watch what changes get made to it. I will no longer update my yppedia page so as not to inconvenience your Grammar Corrector. I appologize for any inconvenience

Ranks are not proper nouns. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 08:58, 24 March 2007 (PDT)

No problem - I'm sorry that I sound so rude about it, I really don't mean to be. You are clearly a proficient editor. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 09:14, 24 March 2007 (PDT)

Oooh, that's what you meant. Now some of the grammar is actually wrong - you may wish to rewrite some of those sentences more thoroughly ;) -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 09:16, 24 March 2007 (PDT)
