__NOEDITSECTION__ __ARCHIVEDTALK__ __TOC__ __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ = January 12 = Logged in on another deviceHello. I am ImperialAficionado, and i logged in on another device (my original device got crashed). I am leaving this messege because I want to let you know before me making edits on this device. I hope this won't be an issue :-) Imperial :{{ping|ImperialAficionado}} It's never an issue to use the same account on different devices. You can always use whichever device you want. It's the first time in 20 years here I have heard somebody be worried about it. If you think you heard something then it was probably about using multiple accounts (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry) and not multiple devices. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC) Article title capitalizationI am having a hard time understanding how capitalization of articles works. In the article 2026 Alabama Attorney General election the words “attorney general” are capitalized but in 2026 Alabama gubernatorial election, the term “gubernatorial” is not. In what situations do terms like this get capitalized versus when they don’t? Thank you Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC) :As per WP:NCCPT, only the first letter of the first word or any proper names should be capitalized. So in this case, "Attorney General" is a proper name, whereas "gubernatorial" is an adjective and thus no capitalization. If you are unsure about capitalization in the future, you can also check how capitalization was done in the cited sources of that particular article.

For non-Scandinavians, the Danish word for 90 is halvfems, short for halvfemsindstyve which means half five times twenty, or (5 – 1/2) × 20.
