[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Per McCandlish's and the nom's solid reasons. This is pretty much a no brainer. To the OP, I doubt there would have been any opposition to this. Clear cases can be moved BOLDLY, ie, without discussion. John from Idegon (talk) 11:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC) (non-admin closure) John from Idegon (talk) 11:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]



Chicago Public School BoycottChicago Public Schools boycott – The name of school system is Chicago Public Schools and "boycott" should be sentence case (lower case) per convention for article titles. The event is not always referred to as Chicago Public School Boycott in the sources (see for example this article), although many do. Others correctly refer to the event as the Chicago Public Schools boycott, which is technically correct. There is no official name for the day, so normal Wikipedia conventions should apply.

  • Support per nom and per, well, WP:Common sense. Like all this over-capitalization stuff, see MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS: unless independent reliable sources capitalize a particular case with near-uniform consistency, WP does not apply capital letters, so yes, this should be "boycott". And yes, "School" is an obvious typo; there is no such thing as "Chicago Public School". This is the sort of obvious case that can simply be manually moved or listed at WP:RM/TR.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  10:34, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
