Capitalisation

As it happens, when referring to one of the British Dominions, capitalisation is necessary because it refers to a particular type of territory, that is, one with the British monarch as head of state but represented by a Governor-General. This is opposed to lower-case dominion, which can refer to any territory. You think they'd just use a different word, but that's the British for you. --bainer (talk) 09:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sounds like a matter that's not forced in this context; why does a 'necessary' British usage govern an article that is primarily to do with Australia? You don't seem to see the point, and neither do I. Tony 14:23, 8 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
