I know this is unofficial terminology, but where does the "quark" part come from? - Gargomon251 (talk) 21:08, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

A "quark" is the concept of the particles that make up protons, neutrons, and electrons. Ergo, the smallest possible thing in existence, I think. Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 21:28, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
Hardly a concept. Cool stuff, guys. Miles (talk) 21:47, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
That's not QUITE what I was asking. Why did they call it "quark" mine? What does this object have to do with quarks? If anything, I'd say the green "electrical" burst looks more like plasma or something. - Gargomon251 (talk) 21:51, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

It's proper. Quark is the object's first name, and mine is last. Both names don't need to be capitalized at all, really, but "mine" is not of significance this object is not a person. BNK [E|T|C] 02:27, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
For proper nouns, all of the constituents are supposed to be capitalised (unless it's a word of little significance, such as a preposition or article). Smiddle 君怒る? 19:41, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
