I tend to check with GBooks and WorldCat (and sometimes use a script to nab the text automatically), this example may have been taken from either the main GBooks or WorldCat entries where both match the case given, though I note that where cited in other works the mix-case form is used. I'm not sure
873:
Rephrased, this seemed misleading as my understanding is that Beech has been Keeper of the
Collections for 30 years and there is no need to put in the current year just to say he is still there. I have removed "2011" and will try hunting around for information on when he was actually
572:
General: capitalisation – the use of u.l.c. for titles of people and organisations is inconsistent and looks odd in places. "Philatelic
Collections" appears with and without capitals; "assistant keeper of Printed Books" looks decidedly odd. (I have checked Garnett's
577:
obit, 14 April 1906, p. 4, and "Assistant" and "Keeper" are both capitalised there.) Moreover, this does not square with the use of the capital letter in "The Head of the…" later in the article. Also, "Government departments" looks odd with one of the two words
567:
This article is well laid-out, nicely illustrated, thoroughly referenced and – as far as a layman can judge – comprehensive. There are, however, quite a few minor problems with the prose, which I think need to be dealt with before I can complete the review:
553:) 21:26, 26 January 2011 (UTC) I owe GA a review, having just had one of my own efforts promoted. As the privileged holder of a British Library reader's ticket I have picked this one. More to come in the next 24 hours.
1011:
I normally add book and article subtitles and by-lines using the semi-colon, however as the BL is the publisher (and this was also the format used in the citation), I'll go with their preference.
484:
489:
854:"The Head of the philatelic collections in 2011 is David Beech" – this construction is apt to get out of date, and is better phrased as "David Beech was appointed …. in 20XX". See
1083:
there is a convention on using title case, but I'll double check the other titles before either making consistent with the Google Books catalogue or using title case throughout.
1434:
639:
References 10 and 9 - I have been (rightly) pulled up at GA or FAC for having adjacent references out of numerical sequence as seen here; swopping them round would do the trick.
1444:
248:
1098:
I have changed over to consistent (hopefully) use of conventional Title Case throughout rather than relying on the haphazardness of whatever Google Books does.
823:"horse licenses and the pilot's license" – the modern English spelling of the noun is "licence" ("license" as a noun is either archaic English or else American)
517:
371:
1439:
258:
669:"in 1946 this was proposed to be moved" – tortuous use of the passive. Something like "…there was a proposal to move it…" would be easier on the eye.

422:
413:
I do not know why the title is defaulting to italics, can anybody explain what is doing that as I'm not sure it is needed here?

Finally, back on capitalisation, are you sure you have correctly reproduced the titles of your reference books, such as
593:
Philatelic
Collections, Assistant Keeper, Tapling Collection and Government Departments all standardized to title case.
1133:
1371:
I don't know how the image of the book cover would fare at FAC, but your fair use rationale seems fair enough to me.

If you would like to consider the above points I can complete the GA review.
893:"which were the Crown Agents working records" – possessive apostrophe needed.
792:"ize" -v- "ise" – consistency needed; the article contains examples of both.
