Talk:Runeberg Prize

Wrong information (2020)

I think that the article contains wrong information about winner of Runegerg Prize 2020. (See ) 188.238.93.152 (talk) 15:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

You're right. Now it should be correct. --JAAqqO (talk) 10:41, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Runeberg Prize → Runeberg prizeRuneberg prize – Per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization); this is not a proper name in my opinion because prize is a translation from the original name, which doesn't exist in English. (But I may be wrong and foreign prizes are considered proper names for some reasons. I don't insist on this but strive for consistency.) --Rießler (talk) 13:40, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Capitalizing "Prize" is the consistent choice, see the articles in the Category:Finnish literary awards. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 13:51, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

I believe you and thank you for the reply. I don't insist on the move and see that it is consistent with other articles. But is it consistent with the naming conventions, i.e. is it a proper name in English. (I'm not a native speaker.) --Rießler (talk) 14:07, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

As far as I know, constructions of the form Surname Prize are always treated as proper names in English. On Wikipedia this is certainly the norm (see All pages with titles containing prize). For the Runeberg Prize in particular, a Google search indicates that capitalization is also the norm in other English-language sources. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

To give a more authoritative reference, The Chicago Manual of Style advices: 8.83 Capitalization for names of awards and prizes. Names of awards and prizes are capitalized, but some generic terms used with the names are lowercased. Examples include Nobel Prize, Emmy Awards, Pulitzer Prize for Commentary (but a Pulitzer in journalism), a Guggenheim Fellowship (but a Guggenheim grant).

That was a very useful explanation. I understand that my request was hastily. I should have just asked instead… Sorry. --Rießler (talk) 08:04, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

No harm done, and if you prefer, you can withdraw this request per WP:RMEC. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 08:34, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I withdraw this request per disc above and WP:RMEC. --Rießler (talk) 12:59, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
