I'm not 100% sure, but I think Wikipedia's style guide expects Black to be lowercase, i.e. "black", unless it is part of a proper noun.
So, for example when used as an adjective, "black scientists" and "black birders" would seem to be preferred, but Black Birders Week is still fine.
For examples of current usage, there are articles like Race and ethnicity in the NBA and African Americans in the United States Congress, where "black" appears predominantly in lowercase. Dragons flight ( talk) 08:18, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

There's now a separate page titled Central Park birdwatching incident for the May 25th confrontation between Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper.

This page had POV and Peacock templates attached in August 2021, but no discussion about them on this talk page. Following the recommendations in WP:WTRMT about when to remove neutrality templates, I have removed the templates. If other editors have a concern about neutrality, please raise it here.

In the section of the article "and the murders of African Americans" I believe that the wording "Killings" would be more suitable, at least legally. While under US courts, both Ahmed Aubrey and George Floyd's murders have been treated as such, the police killing of Breonna Taylor was not considered a murder and the Wikipedia article is titled Killing of Breonna Taylor. Labelling Breonna's death as a homicide would be (at least legally) incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D09:F80:1A00:D450:B800:78B4:7EE1 ( talk) 01:17, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
These templates were added to the article - I don't see any problems with the article as it is. Editors who do see such problems, could you please identify the sections of the article of concern here on the talk page. Newystats ( talk) 03:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
created and mostly edited by users with a significant interest on such specific topics (biology, chemistry, nature sciences, etc.) and may raise a Conflict of interest problemNo, having an interest in science doesn't give you a COI when it comes to science. It makes you one of the best people to write about science. We want people to write about the areas of their expertise and we want people to follow their interests. If someone were directly connected to BBW then there would be a COI (and even still it's possible that they could edit the article neutrally -- they'd just need to disclose that COI).
