QPQ: Done.
Overall: I would most recommend ALT0. I fixed one link in the article (a misspelling of Castile's name) without substantially changing it. epicgenius (talk) 20:27, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalize the "B" in "Black"

[edit]

On this page, we will capitalize the proper noun "Black" to when used in place of "African-American" in the cases such as "Black neighborhood" or a "Black American". Although the MOS does not yet have clear guidelines on this, we will follow the lead of the Associated Press and the New York Times in their 2020 decisions to capitalize the proper noun.
