The naming policy seems to be out of sync with the way the community if naming pages. The best example of this is that on the naming policy page it says, "But Linen Cloth is not [a good name]; it should instead be linen cloth." Of course, if you look at those pages linen cloth (the correct article name) redirects to Linen Cloth, the incorrect article name according to the policy.

Pretty much the only stardard exceptions to this are and pages, and most of the (although some of those seem to have completely random capitalization). The other exceptions seem to be articles 'about' something. i.e. a list or discusion about something, although this is a toss up many are completely capitalized. As such I think we have a few choices, 1.
* Ignore the capitalization rule and do whatever we want (bad) 2.
* Enforce the capitalization rule and go through renaming all the pages to fit the rule (I'm not going to do it) 3.
* Change the naming convention to reflect how the community names articles. I like 3 the best so this is a request to change the policy so that most of the articles we have once again become 'policy legal.'
