Chief Engraver of the United States Mint

Kevin McE, Wehwalt The position is capitalized by

The United States Mint itself (who ought to know),

"Elizabeth Jones, Chief Sculptor-Engraver | U.S. Mint". www.usmint.gov.

The Smithsonian Institution (who also ought to know)

"Frank Gasparro, the 10th United States Mint Chief Engraver". Smithsonian Institution.

Please discuss here first. Kevin McE, if you think you are more knowledgeable than the United States Mint who governs that position, it still takes discussion. Do not uncap without consensus. — Maile (talk) 12:42, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use such a patronising tone to invite discussion. We are obliged by our own MoS, not that of other publishers, and MoS has consensus without needing to gain it at each page. As to your arrogantly presented citations, the first includes "Dr. and Mrs. Clain-Stefanelli, Curators of numismatics at the Smithsonian Institution", the inconsistency of which suggests that in fact they don't know how to capitalise titles, and the latter does not use the phrase in question.

Maile66, you might want to read the current discussion at WP:ERRORS if you have not already (under today's TFA). That may shed some light on why Kevin edited as he did.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:56, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That might be an explanation as to why I came to this page, but please,Wehwalt, explain why you think it has anything to do with "why Kevin edited as he did". Kevin McE (talk) 07:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That you were making proposals re TFA blurbs and we're quite early in the month here. Only three days later.--Wehwalt (talk) 08:18, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And what has that got to do with not capitalising job names? Kevin McE (talk) 15:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
