Why is "Hussars" capitalized in the title of this article?

Shouldn't this article be moved to Russian hussars? It's not, as I understand, a proper noun, as if it were the name of a single distinct military unit, but instead it covers any hussars of Russia. If there's no comments to explain otherwise, I'll start a formal move/rename of this article. --A D Monroe III^(talk) 23:12, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lower case for "hussars" is gramatically correct in this context. It would be upper case if the article dealt with (say) the "Grodno Hussars". Buistr (talk) 23:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After a week with no objections and support stated by Buistr, I have moved the page. I'll pursue any clean-up needed. Issue resolved -- thank you. --A D Monroe III^(talk) 16:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The articles Russian hussars and Hussar regiment are clearly WP:OVERLAPping and they are about essentially the same. These articles should be made into one. Cukrakalnis (talk) 21:16, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sumsky Hussars

The article refers to this regiment as the "Sumy" Hussars. Captain V. S. Littauer, an officer of the regiment, in his autobiography Russian Hussar refers to the regiment as the Sumsky Hussars. He does not refer to the regiment, throughout its life, by any other name. I recommend that this article be changed to reflect the regiment's correct style.
