Talk:Three-card Monte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] monte/Monte... is it capitalized?
The name of the article conflicts with the introduction sentence. Request for clarification. Move may be needed. Tyciol 11:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- I checked a few Wikipedia usages. Of scams, Shell game, Multi-level marketing, and even Snipe hunt all use just an initial capital. Of card games, the same is true of Contract bridge and Five-card stud. So, the consensus style certainly seems to be that Monte should not be capitalized. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
No, every usage, in books, I have seen on magic and the history of three-card Monte, it is with a capital "M." Soapy 14:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
In addition: You mentioned other Wiki sites using the capital "M" in their articles. If you have changed them to small case, please revert to capitals once again. Thank you. Soapy 14:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I have moved "Three card monte" to "Three-card Monte," which is the correct way according to all my books, and the Magic Castle. I have also taken the responsibility of changing the "What links here" spellings. Soapy 15:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect madness and capitalization
OK, I think we've got this sorted out now (there was an interesting mess of double-redirects terminating in an endless loop, I think). In any case, I defer on the m/M issue. The other un-capitalizing I did was things like Queen->queen, which I think should remain. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
-There are redirects. I don't think much can be done about these, as they had to do with other titles related to this article, such as Find the Lady. I changed what I could, and did not touch the userpages and such. I agree with the other changes you made (Queen/queen). Soapy 17:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
