Talk:Nightingale Court

Capitalization[edit]

I think that the article's title should be "Nightingale court" in accordance with Wikipedia's MOS. The courts are named after Florence Nightingale, patterned after the term "Nightingale hospital", a designation for temporary hospitals set up to handle the overflow of patients due to the pandemic. Some sources use title case, but many use the sentence case form with a lowercase "c". It is a type of court, not a specific court. Matuko (talk) 13:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, though both forms seem to exist in print. 2A00:23C5:FE0C:2100:3852:411D:65A4:C98F (talk) 15:32, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree too. Both cases are used in sources. I think upper case was present in the sources I used to create this article, but lower case would be more in line with the Manual of Style so I will support a move to lower case. This is Paul (talk) 15:44, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

The statement that the etymology of the name is "not clear" needs a citation. Which British government sources have alleged that the hospitals and courts are named after the bird? Matuko (talk) 14:15, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Plus the second paragraph of the article already explains the etymology! 2A00:23C5:FE0C:2100:3852:411D:65A4:C98F (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
