Something's going on with display titles

Recently started to notice USA imdb display title AKAs started to change with bad capitalization.

Here is one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/

Just today noticed some more like this as well.

(Note to users: Please don't make any correction to this title until staff sees the issue to understand what's going on)

Anyway just took screenshot in case someone fixes it until staff sees it:

It does not look like something a contributor is doing. It looks more like something done by software because I saw it in some rare titles that was probably not touched in a while.
Can this be fixed please?

Hi All -

I'm circling back here to conirm that our technical team has successfully removed all instances of badly capitalized title data related to the reported issue; they have also taken measures to prevent this from reoccurring.

Thanks again for your report and observations!

I'm aware it's the result of an USA imdb display title AKA entry. Both my topic title ("display titles") and beginning of my post ("notice USA imdb display title AKAs") says that.

When it happens to many titles at the same time, it looks more like a software issue. A previous similar incident was declared as a software bug.

Hi forthehorde -

Thanks for reporting these occurrences, the issue has been identified and our technical team are now fixing.  The capitalization issues should be corrected on the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Michelle I need to note something here, while I don't see capitalization issues like the first example anymore (bad capitalization after sub-title) I still see this kinda capitalization errors:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6087348/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856109/

Note that this one ignores the "(unless at the end of a title)" part of the rule "words which must begin with a lower-case letter"

So pointing it in case this scenario is missed.

Hi @forthehorde -

I have now removed the incorrect Alternate titles associated with the two title pages you referenced above.  I have also provided the most recent examples on the existing ticket for further review by our tech team.
