PUTS

[edit]

Hi there. I realise that PUTS prefer to capitalise the T in 'The', but the stylisation preference of the subject of an article isn't really a concern for us. Wikipedia has its own style guidelines, and when it comes to article titles that are proper nouns, the first letters of short conjunctions like 'the', 'of', 'and', etc, are not capitalised unless they're at the beginning or end of the name. What we have to do is look at all the styles in use by reliable sources and pick the one that most closely resembles standard English formatting. As you can see, there are plenty of high-quality sources that write the group's name with a lowercase T, such as The LA Times, The Austin Chronicle, MPN Now, Stylus, Revolver, Now Toronto, Exclaim!, All Music Guide, Pop Matters, Pitchfork, etc. So I'm going to change it back, sorry about that. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 23:26, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Wetdogmeat: I'm not sure I agree with the level of intractability that you're assigning the Wiki MOS, but it's all good. I'm not a Wiki native, so it might take a sec to learn the rules (and the enforcement thereof)... BUT... I've made a change to the introductory words of the People Under The Stairs main page (á la Kiss (band)) that I think you'll have difficulty finding fault with.

Yeah, I have no objection to that. Cheers. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 03:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Highlighter (album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable album. No evidence of independent coverage in secondary sources as required by the WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
