== Capitalization of job titles ==

In the James Buchanan article, the claim that "it's capitalized on other pages" is true but not a valid reason to capitalize. The Wikipedia Manual of Style at [[WP:JOBTITLES]] says job titles "are capitalized only in the following cases: ... When a formal title ... is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, '''''is not preceded by a modifier''''' ... {{xt|Nixon was the 37th president of the United States.}}" In this example, "37th" modifies "president", so "president" does not get capitalized. Similarly, Buchanan was the 15th president of the United States (also lower case). The reason that some other pages have it capitalized is that I have not yet gotten to them all. I will restore my edit.

Capitalization of job titles

[edit]

In the James Buchanan article, the claim that "it's capitalized on other pages" is true but not a valid reason to capitalize. The Wikipedia Manual of Style at WP:JOBTITLES says job titles "are capitalized only in the following cases: ... When a formal title ... is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, is not preceded by a modifier ... Nixon was the 37th president of the United States." In this example, "37th" modifies "president", so "president" does not get capitalized. Similarly, Buchanan was the 15th president of the United States (also lower case). The reason that some other pages have it capitalized is that I have not yet gotten to them all. I will restore my edit. Chris the speller yack 20:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
