Talk:East Falkland

message: Why are there so many more people on East Falkland than the West? Is the reason meteorological? Bastie 19:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect it's just that the majority of the population on the islands is in Stanley, which was built on the convenient natural harbour on East Falkland. Warofdreams talk 02:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that would make sense. I'm wondering about the prevailing winds down there - are they north-westerlies? Bastie 18:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The prevailing wind direction (70% of the time) is from a broad arc spanning the SSW to NNW."   Various other websites agree the prevailing winds are westerlies, so Stanley is generally sheltered. Warofdreams talk 00:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: No, "governor" is not a proper noun in any variety of English; see oxforddictionaries.com and collinsdictionary.com. Also see WP:JOBTITLES; Wikipedia does not capitalize offices, titles and positions unless followed by a person's name to form a title, as in "Governor Johnson". Please fix this. And I see absolutely no reason to change "Hispanicised" to lower case. Chris the speller yack 14:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually in British English, Governor in this case is capitalized as the representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  Please explain why you think a verb should be capitalised?  WCMemail 06:53, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Collins Dictionary thinks that the verb "Hispanicised" should be capitalized. That's good enough for me; why isn't it good enough for you? And as for capitalizing "governor", the dictionaries I cited are British English dictionaries, and they don't capitalize "governor" when it means  "the representative of the Crown in a British colony" and "The representative of the British Crown in a colony or in a Commonwealth state", so your argument that "Governor in this case is capitalized as the representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II" doesn't appear to hold water. If you ignore all dictionaries and Wikipedia's Manual of Style, I will not be able to reason with you. Chris the speller yack 16:14, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  An example, as I said in this context Governor would be capitalised.   also confirms.  I am neither ignoring WP:MOS or dictionaries but the examples you've given don't actually contradict and with regard to MOS, WP:ENGVAR should also be considered.  It is a basic grammar rule that verbs are not capitalised, you appear to have found an exception I was unaware of.  WCMemail 19:50, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Heed the warning in WP:SSF to not '"over-defer" to specialized works on matters, like style, that are actually beyond the specialization's scope.' The government of the Falkland Islands may require its employees to conform to a certain style of writing, but cannot require Wikipedia to do so. Its wishes do not trump Wikipedia's Manual of Style. And Capitalization in English does not discuss capitalization of offices and job titles, so I don't see why you think that it also confirms your choice of capitalization. By the way, Anglicize (usually capitalized), Sanforize (always capitalized), Christianize (always capitalized) ... Chris the speller yack 01:48, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a matter of English language variation per WP:ENGVAR and in British English the title Governor is capitalized because the Governor is the Queen's representative, acting in a capacity that is effectively the Head of State.  WCMemail 07:29, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
