Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on British Milk (sheep). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100606064301/http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/britishmilksheep/index.htm to http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/britishmilksheep/index.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Since that short list includes – among other solid sources – the person who created it, the society that registers it, and the government department responsible for it, I had thought this would be entirely uncontentious. However, Amakuru has moved it back with the rationale "more often written with separate words". So I wondered, what sources do you find to support the present title, Amakuru? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:00, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: here were a few of the sources I saw: [1][2][3][4]. It just seemed from an anecdotal Google search that this form predominated somewhat over the "milksheep". Note that this title was also settled through a move-request at Talk:Kaghani_goat#Requested_move_27_September_2017. At one time the title was at British Milk (sheep). Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but not one of those supports the present title – one has "British Milk", three have "British Milk Sheep". Anyway, fair enough, I'll probably start a move discussion – yawn! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since that short list includes – among other solid sources – the person who created it (#6), the society that registers it (#4), the National Sheep Association of its country of origin (#5) and the government department responsible for it (#7), I had thought this would be entirely uncontentious. However, the move was reverted, so now starting this discussion. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:03, 2 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 05:45, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't "milk" be lower case as its not a proper noun. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, Crouch, Swale, it's part of the breed name, and breed names are capitalised in Wikipedia as they are everywhere else. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:58, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
