• Principle of Coordination → Principle of coordination
• Principle of Homonymy → Principle of homonymy
• Principle of Priority → Principle of priorityPrinciple of priority
• Principle of Typification → Principle of typification
• Principle of Ubiquity → Principle of ubiquity

– Except for these five, all "Principle of" titles on Wikipedia use lowercased principle descriptions. I don't see why these should be exceptions, as Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization. I also notice that the one source cited in the Principle of UbiquityPrinciple of Ubiquity article uses lowercase for it. The first two of these articles don't cite any sources (except one dead link). In the Priority article, this cited source uses lowercase, and I haven't yet found the term used very clearly in the other sources cited there. The Typification article cites one source, but it has some kind of access restriction. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:06, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support - We use lowercase for the "Law of foo" articles. I see this also as falling into the "theory of foo" category, which is specifically stated in the MOS to be lowercase. Primergrey (talk) 03:34, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support none appear to be proper nouns, all are generic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:30, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support - MOS:SCIMATH applies for most and where it doesn't directly, it does by analogy. Further, there appears to be no evidence that might otherwise cause us to consider capitalising them. Cinderella157 (talk) 00:02, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Unintelligible

I’m not an zoologist, but I’m also not dumb. I am a native English speaker, scientifically inclined, with an IQ of 131; I read the article and have no idea of the understanding it is attempting to convey… leaving me with: “what the heck is the principle of coordination?!”. ~2026-43030-33 (talk) 15:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
