"How to" edit

This is written a bit much like a "how to".

What about some history: when this was introduced, for example? - Jmabel | Talk 00:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Employment Authorization DocumentEmployment authorization document

Just why Enric Naval would "support" the downcasing of Certificate of Occupancy and Certificate of Need ("this is the generic name of a type of documents") but revert this to caps is beyond me. Here, "Foreign nationals with an EAD can lawfully work in the United States for any employer." It's just a work permit: nothing magical.

Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

Heh. Because for this one I checked websites instead of books. Many books downcase it [1]. Support this move, I was mistaken in reverting Tony's move. --Enric Naval (talk) 10:46, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
