the first letter being lowercase gives a sense of incompleteness in a sentence < like this. It's difficult to quantify or rationalize this but sentence case has a better sense of human intervention. in branding otherwise, sometimes companies use all lowercase to suggest the "casualness" of the company. that's why facebooks F is lowercase. If you see, sentence case is used in as a standard in English prose and our communication also follows it throughout the product. > thoughts on consistently just keeping the user-provided casing? I strongly believe we should use "Sentence case" descriptions. but the bigger problem is, CSS doesn't have sentence case as an option. it has Capitalize which makes the first letter of every word capitalised. that's just title case. overall this is a obvious choice. Communications dept within WMF also uses Sentence case. as far as I know, cases don't exist in other scripts like devnagari (for hindi, marathi) and if i am not wrong, hebrew according to wikipedia.
