Talk:Palestine exception

MOS:SENTENCECASE

@Noble Attempt, good work on this new article! It seems like it could be an interesting article to expand, so I'll see if I can help in the coming days/weeks.

In the meantime, I noticed you moved this to title case ("Palestine Exception") with an edit note that this was per MOS:SENTENCECASE, but usually this guideline means "Palestine exception" would be the preferred title. Was that a mistake? Sources seem mixed on whether it's capitalised or not, which suggests we should probably use sentence case over caps ("Palestine exception"). If this is a notable exception, it's probably worth gathering some sources here in case anyone tries to move it back. Thanks in advance! Lewisguile (talk) 10:38, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for asking! I wasn't sure if using MOS:SENTENCECASE was the correct term to use for switching the article's capitalization due to "Palestine Exception" being used as a proper noun in most of the sources I found, so that's on me if that is the wrong application of the guideline. After looking closer at mentions of the term in the sources and online, it seems like there are too many that use "Palestine exception" mixed with those that use it as a proper noun for it to be an exception.

Some sources using the proper noun title case: [1][2] [3][4][5][6]

Versus those that don't use it as a proper noun: [7][8][9][10][11]

I can revert the title change back based on that information if that would be best, since there's no significant or serious reason to keep it that way aside from it being the case used in Palestine Legal's extensive write-up of the phenomenon ([12]). Thank you for pointing it out, and I really appreciate your interest in possibly expanding the article too if you are interested (although there's no pressure if you can't)!

I think a move back to sentence case rather than a revert would be best (selecting the option to move for sentence case again). I'll do it momentarily. That way, "Palestine Exception" will become a redirect and you don't have to undo any progress made in the meantime. In the event that the title case is needed for something else (e.g., if someone were to write a book or make a film called Palestine Exception on the subject of the Palestine exception), then we can always remove the redirect later on. I hope that makes sense!

I'd be happy to help with editing this article. I've already done a fair bit of work in this area. Lewisguile (talk) 08:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
