But could things be downcased unless there's a good reason not to? See en.WP Manual of Style and most other authorities. Ta.

One thing I'd do... our "acronym soup" can be enormously confusing.  I have a tendency to write " enwp.org/WP:BLP ", for instance, but an outsider might need to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_Living_Persons - it's easier for the mind to parse.



I shortened the URLs mostly because this was intended as a print resource.  The fewer the letters, the less likely people are to get frustrated with typing. :)
