I was just wondering on what you normally do in regards to capitalization after an ellipsis. I noticed that in some cases you do capitalize the following word and sometimes you don't. Is this just based on the context?

"Didn't we agree... It was... Just for yesterday...? Fear and Konoha aside, you're the executive committee's assistant, Yachi, to 
ask for leave two days in a row... Too irresponsible... It troubles... me greatly too."

Such as in this sentence, you did capitalize after most of them but not after the last one. Thanks for any clarification you can provide. Kory 09:52, 23 May 2013 (CDT)

Throwing in a suggestion from the sidelines, it may make sense to have each 'new sentence' start with a capital, but not have capitals for parts within a sentence. Following that pattern, the 'It was' and 'Just for' above would have their capitals changed to lower case. If all small sections began with capitals, such spaced-out sentences would eventually begin to resemble robot-talk. (Preserving sentence capitalisation also avoids possible ambiguity about which sentence any given section belongs to.) -Multipartite (talk) 18:05, 23 May 2013 (CDT)
Yeah, that's exactly why I was asking. Zzhk is pretty much always on the ball with this type of stuff so I figured I'd ask him before making any changes to the capitalization. I'm not fluent in any other language so I can't tell what it says in the original, so asking before making the change is all I can do with something like this. And plus, knowing how Zzhk normally handles something like this will make it easier to pick out any possible mistakes in the future. Thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate it.

Yes, no need to capitalize if the ellipsis is breaking up an existing sentence, as opposed to cases where one sentence trails off to begin a second sentence. --Zzhk (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2013 (CDT)
