Line 1,459:

:There are many purposes for capitalization. WP discourages most of them. Why do you want to change that? Yes, I object. But you can't do it now anyway, since the page is locked over your warring to modify the lead. [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 04:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

::<small>Misprint, presumably ("your" for "our", easily done).</small> Equally, there are many cases in which capitalization can be shown to be "unnecessary", but where Wikipedia still capitalizes. I really think that trying to sum up our take on capitalization in one sentence is a pointless exercise that would be best avoided by simply not attempting to include any substance in the lead, but if we have to attempt this, then I think Tony's suggestion is the best we've seen so far - we don't capitalize "without good reason".--[[User:Kotniski|Kotniski]] ([[User talk:Kotniski|talk]]) 07:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
