Forum:Concerning capitalization of titles

I feel we need a consistent standard on the way we capitalize the titles of the crew. For example, should we say:


 * 1) He encountered fourth mate's steward Davey James.
 * 2) He encountered Fourth mate's steward Davey James.
 * 3) He encountered Fourth Mate's steward Davey James.
 * 4) He encountered Fourth Mate's Steward Davey James.

This would also extend to the other officers, ranks, and stewards as well. Though we could also not capitalize seamen and topmen if we must. — GopluXPoplu | Talk | Contributions


 * Would it make sense to capitalize titles but not occupations? That would be #3 above and would leave passengers and seamen etc. without capitalization.


 * Also (unrelated but) I like Wikipedia's way of using sentence case in subheadings, i.e. not capitalizing anything but the first letter and proper nouns (Story and fate and not Story and Fate). Anybody got strong opinions about this?


 * Also also, all names of chapters are currently in italics, which I guess isn't a conventional way of doing it. I think they stand out better now than "Soldiers of the Sea," part 2 (with quotes) would but... the punctuation police might not appreciate. –Katecapsize (talk) 14:21, January 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it would make sense to not capitalize occupations in lieu of titles. Though then it may get tricky for the cook, butcher, helmsman, etc.


 * The wiki I'm on uses Wikipedia's title capitalization, so that's the way I'm used to.


 * I'm pretty sure the game itself italicizes the chapter names. I like it better that way. — GopluXPoplu | Talk | Contributions
