Talk:Truth (anti-tobacco campaign)/Archives/2016

Use of quotes

The article uses the word truth in quotes, uncapitalized, when referring to the campaign. While helpful at distinguishing the name of the campaign from the word being used as a word, this also has the effect of scare quotes to imply that the campaign is not actually presenting the truth. I think that capitalizing the word and framing it appropriately in the text would be sufficient to clarify when the word is being used as the name of the campaign.

For example, the intro paragraph would become:

Truth (stylized as truth) is a national campaign aimed at curbing youth smoking in the United States. The Truth campaign is produced and funded by the American Legacy Foundation, a public health nonprofit organization established in 1999 under the Master Settlement Agreement between U.S. tobacco companies, 46 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five territories. The campaign produces television and online content to promote anti-tobacco messages. In August 2014, Truth launched “Finish It,” a redesigned campaign encouraging youth to be the generation that ends smoking.

I wanted to check to see if there are objections to this change before editing the article directly. 24.130.189.187 (talk) 21:56, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
