For User:Zujua: The Bundesverband CarSharing actually writes their abbreviation in lower case letters as bcs, not in capital letters. That is not "sometimes", but "always". Have a look at their logo and their website. --L.Willms (talk) 06:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And one more: no, the article is not a translation. I wrote it all myself. There is no article on the subject to be translated. If you don't like the style, improve it! But do not degrade the quality as by falsifying the acronym. --L.Willms (talk) 06:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, entschuldigung, I didn't mean to offend! I only thought that there were some minor issues that could be addressed. And you're correct, that this was an improper use of this tag - I had assumed at the time that this text was translated from a website somewhere, as many articles on such topics are. I'll remove that tag right away.
As for the acronym, I believe it's standard practice in English (and German) to capitalize the letters that would normally be capitalized in unabbrevieated form, and anything else can be considered a stylization; see Abbreviation#Lowercase letters. For an example of a major company who uses lowercase letters in their logo, but still follows the above rule, see PricewaterhouseCoopers. That said, I'm no authority to strictly enforce such grammar rules, and if you feel that it's best rendered in its stylized form, then I encourage you edit it as such. I just wanted to try to avoid any confusion and have it conform with a more standard model to the best that my admittedly limited experience informs my opinion on this topic.
