capitalization

I don't see how "cultivar group" is a proper noun, despite what the ICNCP might say. Does the ICNCP actually state that this is to be capitalized or do they use it as such? I see far more instances of this title being lowercase (USDA, academic publications...) and sometimes with a hyphen. I suggest this be moved back to the lowercase version. --Rkitko (talk) 22:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


This entry has now been edited to bring it in line with the Cultivated Plant Code of 2004 which changed the Cultivar-group to the Group as a classification category. Granitethighs (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a specific section in the code to cite for these changes? Capitalizing every instance of "group" in this article seems a bit unnecessary to me. And the article title and most common usage is still "cultivar group". I admit to not having read through the entire code, so if you could point me to the appropriate article and section, I'd appreciate it! --Rkitko (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Ryan - the relevant parts of the ICNCP are page ix then Article 18.1 and then (in full) Article 20. --124.190.209.142 (talk) 07:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
