Talk:Syrian civil war/FAQ

Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the corresponding page Syrian civil war. They address concerns, questions, and misconceptions which have repeatedly arisen on the talk page. Please update this material when needed.

Q1: Why is this article titled in lowercase, as opposed to Syrian Civil War (which redirects to this article)?

A1: Wikipedia policy on article titles is to use sentence case unless a preponderance of reliable sources treats the subject as a proper name. While this policy can lead to inconsistent titles (e.g. compare this article's title with Russian Civil War), community consensus (confirmed most recently here for this article) is that following the treatment by reliable sources takes precedence over in-Wikipedia title consistency.
