Capitalization is key
I was browsing the UESP and saw that on the Bandit page there are countless times where things like "Iron Shield" or "Ebony Mace" are not capitalized, and it just looks unprofessional to me. I know it's a lot to ask for such a nitpicky thing, but it would be cool if we could clean this up to make it look nicer.

Frosty....
I'm positive that the most common answer you're gonna get is:
"Learn how to do it yourself. There are more important things for others to do."

Re: Capitalization is key
I've gone through several paragraphs myself, but... it's a wall. But I understand that it's really nitpicky and not much of a problem...

Lower-case is correct.

Re: Capitalization is key
If the paragraph is describing a general situation, the heavy use of capitalized 'names' for objects may be seen as distracting— it pulls you out of the situation and reminds you that you're just pushing pieces around in a virtual world.

Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.
Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Re: Capitalization is key
They are being used in a list in that instance, whereas on the Iron Weapons page they are being used as titles for a row.

Re: Capitalization is key
There is an ongoing discussion about correct capitalisation here. It's a relatively new development to decapitalise item names etc, and not one I personally agree with all that much.
