Article name capitalisation

[edit]

I've moved the article so that the title matches WP:MOSCAPS. If the race has a specific official name (that is a proper noun) we should perhaps use that name, but currently there doesn't seem to be a single "proper" name. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:52, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why it was titled with caps was exactly that - the various official names it has had in its very potted history included the words in the phrase - Fremantle to Bali Yacht Race. The official names of the event have included that phrase with various qualifiers either before or after the phrase sats 08:58, 27 April 2013 (UTC).[reply]
I see these names - with bold here to emphasise where it does 'not include "Fremantle to Bali Yacht Race"
  • 1981 International Fremantle to Bali Ocean Racing Classic [1]
  • Fremantle-to-Bali yacht race returns after long hiatus [with hyphens] (article ref 2, Jakarta Post)
  • the Bali Race (admittedly this is a headline, so may be abreviated)
  • FREMANTLE-TO-BALI YACHT RACE [with hyphens] [2]
I'm happy for the article title to exactly match the "official" name ("exactly" includes hyphens, and change allcaps to sentence or title case if necessary), but can we find such a name? Is there an official website? Does the name have hyphens? What's the "current" name - is the 2013 name a temporary (this year only) name? Mitch Ames (talk) 09:21, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
nah - I say leave it as is - best fit - highly likely that each official name changes as they chase different corporate sponsors each time. sats 14:46, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should know about this and comment. One of our editors has systematically depopulated it (from this article among many others), and thinks that is a good reason to delete it. 7&6=thirteen () 12:48, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
