User:Pdfpdf undid my changes to lower case for "professorial fellow", "fellow", and "director", and reinserted the academic title "Professor". Pdfpdf apparently did not follow the link to MOS:JOBTITLES that I provided in the edit summary. I don't know how I could have made it easier. And Wikipedia does not use "Academic and professional titles (such as "Dr." or "Professor")", per MOS:CREDENTIAL. I lowercased "Fellow" because "fellow" is a common noun. Check a good dictionary; collinsdictionary.com is a good one. Now can we restore my edits? Christhe spelleryack14:52, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
"Fellow of a professional association" is not a common noun. Those elected FRS are Fellow of the Royal Society, not fellow of the Royal Society. In this article, Teeson is the "Director of ... ", not a director of " ... ". I read every word of the not-yet-complete discussion on the talk page where User:Chris the speller has been asked to desist from editing British pages until the discussion is complete (because British English is different from American English). User:Chris the speller seems to have ignored this request. Yes, he made it very easy to see what his point of view is. And I don't need a dictionary to tell the difference between a single-word common noun and a multi-word proper noun in British English. And if I do want a dictionary, I'll use the Oxford or the Macquarie, which are also "good" dictionaries.
Get your facts right. I have not been "asked to desist from editing British pages until the discussion is complete". I was requested by one editor to desist from changing "Professor of Classics" to lower case where UK universities are involved. Some other editors in that discussion are not sold on her point of view. There is no need for ad hominem arguments. Christhe spelleryack16:37, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
