•  Support David (talk) 06:36, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 08:32, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Question how would this work with items like June (Q120)? For example, in English it’s "June" and in Spanish "junio". Lewis Hulbert (talk) 04:52, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
  • @Lewis Hulbert: I think it would work mostly for June (L706) and junio (L8642) if English has a value for calendar month (Q47018901) (added above just now). --- Jura 05:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment Any estimate of how many items this property would be applicable for? Some languages don't have a capital/lowercase distinction, so it would be less than the number of languages... ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
  • I'd estimate that this would be in line with other similar properties (see also). --- Jura 15:53, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
