[edit]Why Anglicisation In Article Titles?
[edit]According to WP:AT, under "Foreign names and Anglicization" section:
“Names not originally in a Latin alphabet, such as Greek, Chinese, or Russian names, must be Romanized. Established systematic Romanizations, such as Hanyu Pinyin, are preferred. However, if there is a common English-language form of the name, then use it, even if it is unsystematic (as with Tchaikovsky and Chiang Kai-shek).”
“In deciding whether and how to translate a foreign name into English, follow English-language usage. If there is no established English-language treatment for a name, translate it if this can be done without loss of accuracy and with greater understanding for the English-speaking reader.”
If no common English-language form, what system of Romanization should be used?
[edit]BGN/PCGN
[edit]According to WP:RUS:
“The Wikipedia romanization of Russian is a modification of the BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian. It is used in the English Wikipedia per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Russia) as suitable for Anglophones.”
ALA-LC
[edit]The modified American Library Association and Library of Congress (ALA-LC) romanization table for Cyrillic is widely used in English-language academia, though is not the Wikipedia standard for romanization.
Section headings
[edit]According to MOS:CAPS, under “Headings, headers, and captions” section:
“Use sentence case, not title case, capitalization in all section headings. Capitalize the first letter of the first word, but leave the rest lower case except for proper names and other items that would ordinarily be capitalized in running text.
- Use: Economic and demographic shifts after World War II
- Avoid: Economic and Demographic Shifts After World War II
The same applies to the titles of articles, table headers and captions, the headers of infoboxes and navigation templates, and image captions and alt text.”
“Wikipedia uses sentence case for sentences, article titles, section titles, table headers, image captions, list entries (in most cases), and entries in infoboxes and similar templates, among other things.”
Text formatting
[edit]According to WP:FORMAT, under “Foreign terms” section:
“Wikipedia uses italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that do not yet have everyday use in non-specialized English. Use the native spellings if they use the Latin alphabet (with or without diacritics)—otherwise anglicize their spelling. For example:
- Gustav I of Sweden liked to breakfast on crispbread (knäckebröd) open sandwiches with toppings such as messmör (butter made from goat's milk), ham, and vegetables.
- Code:
[[Gustav I of Sweden]] liked to breakfast on [[crispbread]] ({{lang|sv|knäckebröd}}) open sandwiches with toppings such as {{lang|sv|messmör}} (butter made from goat's milk), ham, and vegetables.”
