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: moved. After going through previous move discussions, a loop in policies directing to each-other, and the current discussion; the consensus, and guidelines recommend the title "FLOCERT". —usernamekiran (talk) 15:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FLOCert → FLOCERT – I am writing to you to request a change on our company’s wiki page. The correct writing is: FLOCERT. To help with verifying that this info is indeed correct, find our website here[1] where you’ll see the correct writing: FLOCERT all capitalised. 80.146.103.144 (talk) 14:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per usage in Reuters [2][3]. A couple of minor newspapers have recently used the current capitalization, likely influenced by Wikipedia, but it's not sufficiently widespread. It looks like a little bit of a hypercorrection to have the non-initialism part lowercase even when preceded by uppercase letters. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:49, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
