The capitalization of the title is incorrect Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 00:08, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Probably requires full RM since e.g. Laisvės alėja is small 'a' in Lonely Planet Lithuania, and seems usual for Lithuanian street names. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:00, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The street's article has a capital A in all mentions of the street, so I was just wondering if the article could be moved because of that. Also, "Alėja" doesn't really appear in any other English-language article titles about avenues. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 01:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the cited reference, www.kamane.lt, this link shows the street being named with lower-case 'a' in Lithuanian. EdJohnston (talk) 01:20, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Lithuanian there is no tradition to write second common name in capital letters (while persons name etc are). Thus, it is Laisvės alėja not Laisvės Alėja. [1] M.K. (talk) 15:41, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
