Capitalisation conventions

The page says that capitalization should, in general, follow regular English rules and that only the first word and proper nouns of a title should be capitalized. I recognize that Wikipedia is the same and that regular English changes. I will try to abide the policy, but, in my opinion, the policy is inappropriate.

The 'Correct' example of capitalization should 'not' contain first person! It says "My favourite pattern is the B-52 bomber". --Scot Ellison 09:58, 9 August 2011 (CDT)

"to be sure that he has read all the information"

something is urging me to replace the he/him pronouns spread out when its refering to no one in particular with gender-neutral pronouns like they/them, or even rephrasing the sentence to not need pronouns at all. tommyaweosme (talk to me my rules) 15:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

if only there were to be an explicitly singular gender-neutral version, like Old English's "thou"-"you" duality (though I guess we could use "they"-"yey," in which case this page would not need to be changed). I also like the notion of a singular subject-object distinction, "thou"-"thee" alike "I"-"me". DroneBetter (talk) 01:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
