- Indeed it does, but my source is cited in relation to the origin of the planes, something that is entirely unsourced in your edit. That sourcing therefore remains relevant until you can provide alternative proof.

- I have discussed this with you in the past (See Talk:List_of_active_Ukrainian_military_aircraft and the section Edits by Fox 52) and after well over a decade of Anonymous editing have created this account for the purpose of logging the dispute in full. I have noticed you repeatedly undoing fully sourced Users edits on other pages for no reason other than to apparently revert to your own version. You hardly ever engage when criticism is levelled at your edits and seem to cite Wikipedia policy with extraordinary selectiveness. An example is right above, you say: 'You are expected to avoid editing disruptively and to try to reach consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users'. This is exactly the behaviour you engage in, making it virtually impossible for anyone to make even a sourced edit on a page edited by you. As you've repeatedly ignored my points on the Article Talk page, this page and your own Talk page, I'm notifying you here that I have requested a Third Opinion on this dispute at Wikipedia:Third_opinion#Active Disagreements.

Capitalization
The pertinent passage in the MoS is under "Biography".
Positions, offices, and occupational titles
Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, grand duke, lord mayor, pope, bishop, abbot, prime minister, leader of the opposition, chief financial officer, and executive director are common nouns and therefore should be in lower case when used generically: Mitterrand was the French president or There were many presidents at the meeting. They are capitalized only in the following cases:
- When followed by a person's name to form a title, i.e., when they can be considered to have become part of the name: President Nixon, not president Nixon; Pope John XXIII, not pope John XXIII.
- When a title is used to refer to a specific person as a substitute for their name during their time in office, e.g., the Queen, not the queen (referring to Elizabeth II); the Pope, not the pope (referring to Francis). ...

More similar examples follow (e.g. with "king"), all of which I followed throughout my translation of the article from the German. Given this, could you please go back now and undo your capitalizations? Thanks GHStPaulMN (talk) 18:59, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I have accordingly reverted your edit capitalizing the term.

- I suggest you go through the talk page of the article. This has been discussed already. See Talk:President of the United States/Archive 10 for example. What the government does is inconsequential; they tend to capitalize many things to give importance, which is not followed on Wikipedia. WikiEditor50 (talk) 15:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
