– Region is not part of the proper name of regions of Senegal, and is typically lowercase in sources.Dicklyon(talk)07:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- They aren't like Orange County or New York City?Largoplazo(talk)13:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- No, they're not. Most of the articles include sentences starting like "The Dakar region" or "Kolda is a region", because region is not part of their name. You can check a few inbook searchand see that they're often lowercase in sources. Or check somen-grams.Dicklyon(talk)16:00, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- How about the departments likeThiès Department?Largoplazo(talk)16:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't looked into those yet. What are you seeing?Dicklyon(talk)17:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- You can see it right there in my question: "Department" is capitalized. Same issue as you've raised here for "Region", it seems to me, so I figured you might want to add the Senegalese department articles to your nomination.Largoplazo(talk)13:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes indeed I might. But I haven't looked into them yet. Taking reasonable size steps usually works better for me than trying to fix everything at once.Dicklyon(talk)19:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
