I feel capitalising "web" is now quite dated. Based on a completely non-scientific search, very few recent articles mentioning it seem to capitalise it, and very few style guides seem to advise that it be capitalised. Is there any objection to changing mentions of it to be lowercase?  novov talk edits 11:41, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
