Talk:Abelian group

Wikipedia articles are fairly consistent in writing "Euclidean", "Newtonian", "Eulerian", "Riemannian" with upper-case first letter. Is there any reason why, instead of "Abelian", mostly "abelian" is being used?
S.

We follow the mathematical usage; "abelian" is much more common than "Abelian". Generally, it is considered to be an honour if you have made it to an adjective and are written in lower-case. AxelBoldt
