At least the last four words in the name of this category should be uncapitalized... AnonMoos (talk) 04:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that this category has four words is because the Primary Branch it is attached to is similarly named, and was created by someone else who did not stop to think before he created it. As to the Capitalization, all Seven words form a Proper Name, and thus should be Capitalized.- SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wikimedia commons actually has rules and style preferences about this kind of thing, and a better name according to these policies would probably be "Category:Coats of arms of US Army artillery regiments"... AnonMoos (talk) 16:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would have moved that one - and a few others - to pages with better titles, except that the move tool has been removed from the system. However, the capitalization problem presents a problem. I checked with the US Army Institute of Heraldry for guidance, and they use the following case standardizations: for Headlines and paragraph leaders, they use all caps for "COATS OF ARMS", and sentence case such as "Coats of Arms". "Artillery" and "Regiments" likewise are capitalized as proper nouns. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) (talk) 21:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
