Margaret Thatcher Contribution

There seems to be no mention of Mrs Margaret Thatcher in the article which is highly unusual for a website purporting to be a encyclopaedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.152.116 (talk) 08:02, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

If this still bothers you years alter, find reliable sources and add it yourself. Cortador (talk) 12:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 24 June 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Capitalization across sources found to be not consistent enough to capitalize each word in this term. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 04:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

European Single Market → European single market – No consistent capitalization in RS, see NGRAMS or Google Scholar results. (t · c) buidhe 03:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Support The OPs evidence strongly indicates that the title does not meet the threshold for capitalisation per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS. Cinderella157 (talk) 09:22, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Support per strong evidence of mixed case in sources, in light of P&G cited by Cinderella above. Dicklyon (talk) 18:39, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Comment: while it appears the EU/EC doesn't even capitalize, they don't seem to have a consistent style manual for that entire page (particularly egregious is the "European standards" menu). Academic journals (or articles – not sure if journals enforce a standard on this) seem to go either way as Buidhe pointed out. (Book excerpts as well). WP's own article on SEM's origin isn't even consistent. (The text of the act itself is ref 4 in the article and never says "single market" as a phrase, so that doesn't help.) There's also the term "ESM" that I occasionally hear, I think perhaps from The Economist podcast? WP:MOS:CAPS wants a substantial majority of RS for caps, and that burden doesn't appear to be getting met, but to analyze thoroughly one should check whether the RS are significantly biased by subject (newsmedia, academia, or gov/ngo, say), recency, and region. But it's late for me. SamuelRiv (talk) 02:23, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
"whether the RS are significantly biased by subject" is not very relevant if they're clearly mixed and inconsistent. WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS say we use lowercase when sources are inconsistent. Dicklyon (talk) 06:01, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Support per nom. — Amakuru (talk) 08:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
