Dalton or DALTON?

Latest comment: 16 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

While the Dalton homepage main page does not use all caps, the requested citation format, the manual, and the output produced by the program all use DALTON. Is one more appropriate than the other for Wikipedia purposes? 66.57.7.153 (talk) 18:55, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I say leave it as Dalton. Your second reference is not all caps. The manual page that links to the different version manuals in pdf is not all caps. Output often uses all caps. There is no clear reason to change. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok. A related question, why did you create JAGUAR with all caps? 66.57.7.153 (talk) 22:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I do not recall. Maybe there was a redlink somewhere in all caps that I just clicked on. I do not use the program. I was just creating stubs for others to follow. We are not likely to get consistency on the naming of programs. --Bduke (Discussion) 23:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.

A page that knows where it met you.
