Hey, @ Evrik! Can I ask why you've blanket reverted all my changes from today? Unless I'm missing something, none of your edit summaries explained why and no messages were left anywhere.
Here's a summary of what I changed and why, for any clarification:
I don't want to start any edit warring here, so I'm bringing this up for some discussion. Can you elaborate on why you seem to disagree with these changes? Bsoyka ( talk) 01:24, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Starting a new topic here for discussion. (CC: @ Evrik)
The
current article version uses National Headquarters
as a proper noun. (Per
WP:LOWERCASE, article titles are written in sentence case.)
Reviewing all five sources on the current version:
In 1910, the organization set up its first national headquarters at 200 Fifth Ave., just off Madison Park in the building later known as the Toy Center.
And the national headquarters left Fifth Avenue long ago — the organization is now run from an office park in Texas.
The important point in the article is the fact that the national headquarters office moved to 2 Park Ave. in 1927.(page 4)
As the council staff was preparing to move from the old building in Oakhurst to the new one in Morganville, old things were found in every corner of the building, which had been the headquarters for almost 50 years.(Technically not the full term, but worth mentioning.)
Coincidentally, the location is just 14 miles from the site of the Johnston Historical Museum on the grounds of the BSA national headquarters when it was located in North Brunswick, NJ from 1959 to 1986.
Met in a temporary national headquarters in a YMCA office in New York(page 1, under 1910)
I've also found
a more recent article from BSA's
Scouting Magazine that uses lowercase for the term, after a quick Google search: In 2002, the National Scouting Museum was relocated to Irving, Texas, next door to the BSA’s national headquarters.
Reviewing the sources used in the article and an article from BSA's own publication, there is not a single use that I see of National Headquarters
with capitalization (as a proper noun). Therefore, I believe we should follow in using lowercase, both in the title and the article text.
