Capitalization

I cannot decide if "Stone Circle" should be capitalized or not. If not, it would refer to stone circles in general and the article would have to be adjusted accordingly. If, however, we mean to discuss Stone Circles as the specific set of stone circles that Bayek visited which aligned with Egyptian constellations, then it should arguably be capitalized. Then again, who is to say that Bayek ever conceptualized these stone circles under the name Stone Circle? He probably used it as a descriptive term, not a name. Yet once more, Stone Circle is attested as a specific gameplay term, but should we take that gameplay term as indicative of a proper name lorewise?

It all seems to be a matter of perspective. Personally, I prefer that it not be capitalized because it just feels more natural to me, but I fear that logically it should be capitalized. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 06:58, July 25, 2018 (UTC)

Revision

I would like to reiterate my proposal that this article be rewritten to be about stone circles in general, not the specific set of Stone Circles in Egypt. At the same time, I think that it should still contain a complete list of the stone circles in Egypt, which should not have been erased, because now there is no other place that provides such information apart from the memory page, which is not really an article.

Should we rename this page to megaliths and then add the standing stones from Valhalla. We can then have a section be known examples broken up by different regions. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 12:41, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not familiar enough with this subject to know if the stone circles can be properly classified as megaliths on a smaller scale, but if you are certain that's correct, then I think that those are all great ideas. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 22:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia, a stone circle is a type of megalith. - Soranin (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Then let's do it! :D Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 23:02, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
