Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Basic copyediting (section)

===Capitalization and formatting===

* Words defined, described, or referenced as words should be italicized, e.g., "The term ''style'' also refers to the layout of an article."
* Wikipedia article headings should generally be noun phrases (''History of{{nbsp}}...'') and not prepositional phrases (''About the history of{{nbsp}}...'').
* Headings begin with a single capital letter, i.e., they use [[sentence case]]. The only other capital letters in headings are in [[proper noun|proper names]] and [[acronym]]s.
* Titles of works of art (paintings, sculpture), plays and operas, television series, films, novels and nonfiction books, song cycles, and long poems should be italicized rather than put in quotation marks, e.g., ''[[Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance]]''.
* Titles of songs, short stories, individual episodes of television series, and brief poems, e.g., "[[Strawberry Fields Forever]]" or "[[Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening]]", should be in quotation marks. Italics, however, are required for a [[song cycle]], such as ''[[Winterreise]]'' or the title of a longer poem, such as ''[[Four Quartets]]''. Individual episode titles of television series need quotation marks, while the series name itself is italicized, e.g., "[[Welcome to the Hellmouth]]" is the premiere episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.
