{{The Original Barnstar|For your improvements to the Centrifugal force articles. Your common sense approach of creating a summary-style article at the simplified title, explaining the broad concepts in a way that is accessible to the general reader and linking to the disambiguated articles, has provided Wikipedia's readership with a desperately needed place to explain in simple terms the basic concepts involved in understanding these related phenomena.

:I don't understand why you object to having a ref on that final sentence of the paragraph, or what policy you think is being violated there. Dicklyon (talk) 00:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

In regard to the Talk:Cherokee freedmen controversy RM, I wonder if Cherokee Freedmen could be considered the name of a group of people, sort of as in MOS:DEMONYM. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

:Sure, it could be, but I don't see compelling evidence for capitalization of that usage. Dicklyon (talk) 21:29, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

The NFL Honors pages you moved should have been kept capitalized as Annual as it's a part of the proper name. Your reasoning doesn't seem to apply to other similar ceremonies like the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 02:02, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

:I haven't looked into the Grammy Awards, but it's very clearly not part of the proper name of the NFL Honors. Most sources (and our articles) either drop "annual" or use it as lowercase. See [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=60136f8a4720c294&sxsrf=AHTn8zq0GMYjj_7efCfkf2DbhrSBDSBuOw:1739415413555&q=%22annual+nfl+honors%22&udm=36&source=lnms&fbs=ABzOT_CWdhQLP1FcmU5B0fn3xuWpA-dk4wpBWOGsoR7DG5zJBnsX62dbVmWR6QCQ5QEtPRqut5gkyra9fZFbsKm1oGezOI6DQjxNKZ2V8dXgJRWA_TJMoTMoaAT3sFlmqfwsFU7xKyaCESU9pcEBIOWtbh8Q57l_jotrwukFQfQsaj_ShBIVC3RtBGfnv0evqLdoaTjhVTpVso9nbb1qUVYZwxrh2LzRlg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTy92u07-LAxUPTmwGHZNhDwEQ0pQJegQIZhAB&biw=1378&bih=761&dpr=2.4 books] and [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22annual+nfl+honors%22&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=60136f8a4720c294&tbm=nws&sxsrf=AHTn8zrfUOTGz9znO6lqeCuJxQM4UApXaA:1739415418019&source=lnms&fbs=ABzOT_CWdhQLP1FcmU5B0fn3xuWpA-dk4wpBWOGsoR7DG5zJBnsX62dbVmWR6QCQ5QEtPRqut5gkyra9fZFbsKm1oGezOI6DQjxNKZ2V8dXgJRWA_TJMoTMoaAT3sFlmqfwsFU7xKyaCESU9pcEBIOWtbh8Q57l_jotrwukFQfQsaj_ShBIVC3RtBGfnv0evqLdoaTjhVTpVso9nbb1qUVYZwxrh2LzRlg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjx9-2w07-LAxWTSGwGHaw6C1sQ0pQJegQIAhAJ&biw=1378&bih=761&dpr=2.4 news]. Dicklyon (talk) 02:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

:I see you've suggested just omitting "annual". I agree. If you'd like help doing those moves, let me know and I'll work on it. Dicklyon (talk) 04:01, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

::Yeah, if annual is not considered a part of its proper name for events like this then it should be dropped per WP:CONCISE. I'll try and take care of the NFL Honors this weekend if you don't get around to it first. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:25, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

:::I'll do some if I find time. Dicklyon (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

::::I've moved them all and updated their links within navboxes. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::Thanks. I'll work on updating links to the capitlalized ones. Dicklyon (talk) 01:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

An alternative to downcasing "Award" in titles might be to remove "award" altogether per WP:CONCISE. See {{section link|Talk:NBA_Finals_Most_Valuable_Player#Requested_move_11_October_2024}}. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 10:15, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

:I agree. I'd have no objection to further moves along those lines. They often get piped that way anyway. Dicklyon (talk) 10:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

::This was already brought up above (which you agreed with) so I'm not sure why you did it this way. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:27, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

:::I often take the simplest path, just fixing case errors instead of looking for other names. There are not a ton of these, so it would be straightforward for you or Bagumba or someone else who has a preference to do the moves. In most cases, there are redirects there, so some would require page-mover rights or a request at WP:RMTR. Dicklyon (talk) 01:37, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:::If you prefer that I do it, I'll put a bulk request at WP:RMTR for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=intitle%3A%2FNFL+.%2B+award%2F+-intitle%3A%2F+awards%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 these 11]. Dicklyon (talk) 01:52, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

::::Did that. Dicklyon (talk) 02:42, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:OK, "Award" is now removed from all of those I touched recently (there are others to do still). See also new RM at Talk:Newspaper Enterprise Association NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Dicklyon (talk) 21:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

I looked for how a particular phrase made it into MOS:MILTERMS and was surprised it seems to have been from [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AManual_of_Style%2FCapital_letters&diff=prev&oldid=906009357 your edit].

:Yeah, not great. Even getting that much in there got a little pushback. Dicklyon (talk) 05:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
