I'm copying this discussion from [[User talk:Freakofnurture|Freakofnurture's talk page]], which explains why I removed the <nowiki>{{lowercase}}</nowiki> template from [[Fhqwhgads]]. —[[User:Bkell|Bkell]] 17:14, 15 November 2005 (UTC) |

:I'm not sure if i agree with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fhqwhgads&diff=28218801&oldid=27469299 this edit]. It seems that since the phrase "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf" is a used in place of a [[proper name]] in the e-mail, and written in all lowercase letters, the correct title would reflect that fact. Just like, for example, [[User:timecop|timecop]]. Whatever though, I really don't care enough about it to be risk being listed on [[WP:LAME]]. — <b><i>[[User:Freakofnurture/|<font color="006000" title="User:Freakofnurture">F<small>REAK OF</small> N<small>UR<sub>x</sub>TURE</small></font>]]</i> <small>(<span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Freakofnurture&action=edit§ion=new <font color="006000" title="User talk:Freakofnurture">TALK</font>]</span>)</small></b> 05:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC) |

::Sure, in the e-mail it's written in all lower-case. One could easily argue that that doesn't mean much, since "I" isn't capitalized either. If I were to write an e-mail that said "i fixed the wikipedia article. --brian kell", the obvious assumption is that I was too lazy to capitalize anything; my name is still properly written as "Brian Kell", even though I typed it as "brian kell". |

::But let's assume that ''fhqwhgads'' is written in lower-case, that for whatever reason it defies the rule of English that proper nouns are capitalized. That doesn't mean that it should ''always'' be lower-case. If it's at the beginning of a sentence, then it should be capitalized, even if it's not normally capitalized in running text. This is the way English capitalization works. The word ''carrots'' isn't capitalized, but if I write the sentence "Carrots are orange", or start a Wikipedia article called "Carrots", then it's capitalized. The same goes for ''fhqwhgads''. —[[User:Bkell|Bkell]] 17:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC) |

:::::I don't. fhqwhgads is a name, and the website, as far as I can see, always writes it in lower case, as ''fhqwhgads''. Our carrots article doesn't need the template because carrots is not a proper noun. The template is for, among other things, proper nouns (eg [[aladin]]), such as the name fhqwhgads, which are written without a capital letter.
