LAND / Land

Hi there, I checked Wiki guidlines on folk like the Australians capitalising a word for the sake of capitalising a word to make it more prominent, and the use of that 'PR/marketing ploy' in text on Wiki. My understanding was they don't use it, they don't buy into the marketing. With things like LAND 400, LAND isn't an acronym or similar, it's just capitalised to make it stand out. Marketing. Should be Land. It's the same with TATRA, but not MAN, which is an acronym of course. So I've swapped LAND to Land. I believe it's perfectly OK to mention that the Aussies 'cheat' and use LAND if you wish, but I didn't bother with that. feel free to do so if you wish, that's within guidelines. Stay safe.

Oh and I spotted LANCE in the Lynx record which is also not an acronym so swapped that as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UndateableOne (talk • contribs) 14:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I didn't mean to get into a heated war about this, I just found some official looking documents stating its LAND 400 and I thought it would fit better here. Thank you for looking through the rules for this. Take care! Korvidus (talk) 08:47, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
