The first word of sentences should be capitalized. Titles should be in title case. [[Talk:Capitalization Reference|-->under reconsideration...]]
 
The [[Word_list_from_the_manuals|word list]] may be of some help, however most words are used only as titles and so will be listed only as capitalized. We want to know if it should be capitalized in the middle of sentences. If you are unsure, it would be better to err on the side of lowercase. Having capital letters everywhere is unprofessional.
 
A proper noun is a name used for an individual person, place, or organization.
