Hi Eyer, I'm a bit confused about the policy on capitalising job titles. I thought I understood the MOS but you disagreed with one of my changes. Could you explain your understanding of the policy, so I can get it right? Thanks! SamWilson989 (talk) 13:35, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi, Sam. What did I disagree with? —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 13:53, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have linked. Sarah Mullally - whether "106th archbishop of Canterbury" should have a capital A. SamWilson989 (talk) 14:15, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Ah, yes. In that case, "archbishop of Canterbury" is modified by both "the" and "106th", so according to MOS, it would be lowercase. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 14:23, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you
