Hello. I am Eyer. I am a copy-editing Wikipedia gnome. I enjoy reducing capitalized words to comply with Wikipedia style. I also edit articles on the following topics:

• Current events
• Florida
• Government and government officials
• Schools

In my free time, I enjoying curbing vandalism on Wikipedia, especially inappropriate edits to articles about living people.

Creed

"I will always assume good faith on the part of my fellow editors and will be civil at all times, even to those who are not civil to me. I will not attack my fellow editors or disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. If involved in a content dispute, I will not engage in edit warring and will instead discuss contested edits and/or seek dispute resolution."

— adopted from WP:CALM

Capital letters

Because Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization, you might see me editing articles to remove capital letters. Sometimes I can be overzealous and remove a few too many. Feel free to re-capitalize some if I over did it or to discuss on a Talk page. I am open to feedback.

As I understand the MOS:JOBTITLES guide, the following constructions are correct:

• "As president, Nixon went to China." (referring to the office of president)
• "As the president, Nixon went to China." (referring to the office of president)
• "Nixon was President of the United States." (referring to the title "President of the United States")
• "Nixon was the president." (referring to the office of president)
• "Nixon was U.S. president." (referring to the office of president)
• "Before Nixon was president, he was called Senator Nixon." (referring to the office of president and the title "Senator")
• "Nixon was the United States senator from California." (referring to the office of senator)
• "Nixon was promoted to lieutenant in the war." (referring to the rank of lieutenant)
• "In World War II, Lieutenant Nixon never thought he would become president of the United States." (referring to the title of "Lieutenant" and the office of president)
• "California senator Nixon won the seat of Democratic senator Sheridan Downey.
• "President of the United States Nixon wielded a pen."; "Republican president of the United States Nixon wielded a pen."
• "President Nixon wielded a pen."; "U.S. president Nixon wielded a pen."; "Republican president Nixon wielded a pen."
• "The pen was used by President Nixon."; "The pen was used by U.S. president Nixon."; "The pen was used by Republican president Nixon."
• "The pen was used by the president."; "The pen was used by the U.S. president."; "The pen was used by a Republican president."
• "The pen was used by the president of the United States."; "The pen was used by a Republican president of the United States."
