We have been reverting users edits because they are either capitalizing the word "minifigure" or lowercasing it. I asked LEGO myself, and they replied that it should not be capitalized. However, when we are talking about the theme, we should capitalize it at all times. Lego lord 00:50, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Use "minifigure"

- It's be the same as capitalizing "dog". Minifigure is a common noun. Darth Vader on the other hand is not. Tatooine 05:07, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Why would anyone think it should be capitalized if LEGO specifically says that it is supposed to be lowercased? This makes no sense whatsoever. Lego lord 00:55, February 24, 2011 (UTC) I'd like the users to please post why they would want it to be capitalized, because I do not exactly know. Lego lord 01:30, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I would like to see something that verifies your claim that you contacted the LEGO company and received a reply before I really deliberate. --TheGrandEditor 01:52, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
- In a commercial sense, trademarks, proprietary names and brand names should always capitalised, Important point to consider is, Brickipedia is an encyclopedia written in English, and thus correct usage of the rules of English are given priority over how the LEGO company styles its trademark.

- Do you think I can't be trusted? Why would I lie over such a silly thing? Fine, "As far as minifigures go, you do not need to capitalize the name if it is in a sentence. You do, however, have to capitalize it in the beginning of a sentence." quoted from the LEGO contacting system. Lego lord 01:59, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
I meant a picture source or a link to where you asked the question so we also may be able to ask the question. --TheGrandEditor 02:08, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
Alright, sure. I still don't understand why you think I would lie over something so silly.

Now do you think it should be lowercased? Lego lord 02:34, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
