Capitalization for French names[edit]

@B3251: Good work on the French names. That's a nice addition to the list. English Wikipedia's style for common names of species in any language is lower case, so I think most of those should be lower case. I know French handles capitalization differently than English for proper adjectives, but you probably know that better than I. Thank you, SchreiberBike | ⌨  18:54, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
