Line 81:
I think "program evaluation and review technique" is a common name not a proper name and therefore should not be capitalized. I know it is accepted practice in the industry to capitalize terms especially when they are normally identified by acronym but in Wikipedia capitalization is used only for proper names. <font color="#500000">[[User:Jojalozzo|Joja]]</font><font color="#005000">[[User talk:Jojalozzo|lozzo]]</font> 15:56, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:It is clear from the "historical" piece I have just added that "Program Evaluation and Review Technique
" is a '''tool''', and therefore, a noun, rather than "an approach", and therefore a verb. And, moreover, it is not a "common name"; it is a very specific "proper noun". Therefore it should remain capitalized. The point being, I suppose, no matter how many people habitually call [[American bison|Bison bison]] "buffalo", the animals continue to remain bison.[[User:Lindsay658|Lindsay658]] ([[User talk:Lindsay658|talk]]) 23:21, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Also, Program Evaluation and Review Technique is capitalized in a reference to it in [http://www.google.com/patents?id=krNpAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false U.S. patent no.3124885].[[User:Lindsay658|Lindsay658]] ([[User talk:Lindsay658|talk]]) 23:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
