Hello to you alos, but what is the "Chicago Manual of Style"? I am not familiar. I know on Wikipedia, we have our own MOS, which, according to one of the first paragraphs states:

“ For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless: the title is a proper noun. ”

That is per WP:CAPS. Hope this helps. Happy editing. --HELLØ ŦHERE 23:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the link; I should have realized Wikipedia would have its own style guide. In that same page, however, I believe the third paragraph supercedes the first, as our capitalization in question is in reference to a title of an episode, not a page title (yet, anyway). It states:

“ In general, each word in titles of books, films, and other works takes an initial capital, except for articles ("a", "an", "the"), the word "to" as part of an infinitive, prepositions and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., "on", "from", "and", "with"), unless they begin or end a title or subtitle. ”

Since "is" is neither a preposition nor a coordinating conjunction but a verb, it should be capitalized - though I admit it may cause the title to look slightly strange.

The Chicago Manual of Style is a definitive style guide that I refer to when I am unsure about things like this. You can also read about it here on Wikipedia; there's a link to it on WP:CAPS. Icarusmonkey 23:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
