Orthography[edit]

The name has been changed at least 5 times over the years, back and forth between "List of governors-general of Australia" and "List of Governors-General of Australia".

Can we settle this once and for all? I note that List of Prime Ministers of Australia uses the upper case style. Can we at least be consistently wrong? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:49, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's wrong, but yes, let's be consistent. Capitalisation please. Frickeg (talk) 00:15, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as nobody has done it yet - changed as per MOS:JOBTITLES Ozzieboy (talk) 08:43, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 July 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Per similar move requests for Canada and New Zealand, there is consensus across the wiki for the lowercasing of these titles. — Amakuru (talk) 10:52, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of Governors-General of Australia → List of governors-general of Australia – Plural, so not a proper noun - should be lowercase as discussing the group, not a specific case. See MOS:JOBTITLE for relevant policy. Mauls (talk) 09:13, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. "Governor-General" is capitalised, and this carries through to the standard plural. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Consistent with MOS:JOBTITLE and majority usage in RS. A Google News search for "governors general" australia shows most news sources use lowercase for the plural in running text. Colin M (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
