Article title[edit]

Does it make sense for the article title to capitalize each word? In other words, why is this named "Paul Revere's Midnight Ride" instead of "Paul Revere's midnight ride"? --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:45, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't think of a good reason, and am inclined to boldly move it, unless any objections are raised. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 03:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it even called Paul Revere's Midnight Ride when there were anywhere from 2 to 40 riders involved? There’s a separate article called Paul Revere's Ride about the poem. I think this article should stick to history and ignore all the poetic license. The factual inaccuracies should be addressed in the article about the poem.

So what would it be called? The usual argument about “common name“ is bound to be trotted out. Call it what it was: the “Patriot alarm system.” Humphrey Tribble (talk) 05:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
