Capitalise river because it is part of the name: thus, the river Nile, the river Euphrates, the river Rhine. I call this the ‘generic’ element of a geographical name; it specifies the kind of character that we are talking about.
What do you make of the Nile, Euphrates, Rhine, but these are names for the lakes.
Consider street names which also have generic elements, say, Robinson Drive. ‘Drive’ is the generic element, and suggests that the road is probably scenic in some way. It is double-signed and’standard’ stamped.
Just 1 more analog. Many countries have full forms, whereas short form is common. Commonwealth of Australia is a full form (the generic element of Australia being capitalised)?
When I see them in a game-on stage I cannot believe that the game is named a half-life. Is game part of names. It is the complete form. It is not a part of the name. How would capitalise game in your sentence?
