Numbered street names
Do we make an exception when the street name starts a sentence? I was taught to spell out numbers when they start a sentence, but I imagine that varies depending on the style guide used, which is what this page is as far as BhamWiki goes. --Lkseitz 06:50, 17 November 2006 (PST)
- I don't think it's necessary. You're welcome to do so as long as the link works when it's a link. --Dystopos 06:59, 17 November 2006 (PST)

Birth year
The rounding of years from an age given in a newspaper story is why I typically specify "circa" (c.) with the presumed year of birth in such cases. This still conveys the information, but makes it clear it's not 100% certain. --Lkseitz 10:48, 2 May 2008 (PDT)

Internet or internet?
- I was taught to capitalize the word "Internet". Argument can be found here. Apparently Dystopos and I disagree as he edited my Cullman Liquidators article. I've been changing them in other articles to be capitalized. Discussion? Ruling? --Wheresdib 18:02, 29 December 2009 (PST)
