How does the company itself capitalize its own name? Paint the label.  Even if it's

Names in use are not consistent ...

BHP is an abbreviation, yet many simply know it by the abbreviation.

HSBC bank also uses capitols.

Perhaps as well as short_name OSM needs long_name where the short name is in common use?

The wiki is 'just' a guide.
