Capitalization on titles

[Lysis]

Hi Constant,

We should be able to keep all caps in certain words in our titles. I have an article with the term "APIs" that got changed to "Apis" and it kinda makes me look like a noob.

inb4 saying I am a noob.

And now the editor thought the "Apis" is a typo for "Apps." It's supposed to be "APIs."

You can un-check the auto-capitalize box on your title and then change it to be capitalized how you want. I've done this many time when writing articles about iOS, iPhones, etc.

Oh that's true. It never did this before though. I always keep auto-caps on, because it has caught me with accidental caps problems, but you're right.

When writing a term that might be unfamiliar to the editor, add a note in the small summary section. Explain the spelling and meaning. That should take care of it. Editors certainly don't want to make mistakes either, and I think they appreciate the notes on technical terms, Internet spawned spellings, and acronymns.

I wish they allowed the note box on the first submit, that would make it easy to leave a brief explanation of a term.

I use the short summary box to add a note to the editor. I put the note before my summary, and then I delete it once the article is approved. Works every time!

I've tried this only to have articles rejected and sometimes deleted for it with nasty emails from the editor. "The summary box is only a description of the article READ THE GUIDELINES! .... link" LOL

That's a great idea! I recently had to add a pretty lengthy note for the editors to a private request even though I would rather the customer not see it (I was able to delete the note before they did). Not that it was a bad note or anything, but something about having the customer see a quick note to the editors strikes me as the tiniest bit unprofessional. A note box would be fantastic.
