::::I see the point you are trying to make, but it’s one case, and even then you can’t really tell if they used this term because they named the Bībī Bee or because the Būichi are big bees. That indeed shows well the inherent ambiguity brought in by the use of lowercase. Had they used neologisms in lowercase as corresponding English names, we would have known, had they used generic terms in uppercase, we would have known, with generic terms in lowercase we can’t really know for sure. At best we can say it’s a reasonable choice like in the case of big bees, but the possibility of the generic term being just a generic descriptor rather than the actual name really can’t be ruled out.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:43, December 31, 2019 (EST) | ::::I see the point you are trying to make, but it’s one case, and even then you can’t really tell if they used this term because they named the Bībī Bee or because the Būichi are big bees.

::::::The point of this discussion is not about allowing content from the English translation of the Encyclopedia, but rather about using the Japanese names, thus rather using a Japanese source. As an example, from what I understood, the names of the English Encyclopedia have incomplete romanization, whereas we would use full romanization due to the different source.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 06:47, January 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
