{{Requested move/dated|Burmese python}}
[[:Burmese Python]] → {{no redirect|Burmese python}} – Article was moved away from "Burmese python" to "Burmese Python" by an editor who stated he/ she wanted to make it more consistent with other reptile articles. The other python articles appear to exist under various species names rather than common names, but in any case I could find no justification or pattern for naming this particular animal "Burmese Python" rather than "Burmese python" ("python" not being a proper noun in this instance). Another editor (see above) has also noticed this irregularity, and Wikipedia [[WP:FAUNA|naming conventions for fauna]] suggest that no capital letter should be present on any word other than the first in a case like this. cf. [[Gila monster]], [[Australian water dragon]], [[King cobra]], etc. [[User:KDS4444|<font face="Verdana"> <span style="color:midnightblue">'''KDS'''</span><span style="color:steelblue">'''4444'''</span>]][[User talk:KDS4444|<span style="color:limegreen"><sup>''Talk''</sup></span></font>]] 09:27, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
