Title Case

edit

The album is titled all in lower case; it strikes me that this is intentional, similar to the inclusion of an exclamation point. Should the article title be adjusted to take account of this, and redirects put in for the capitalised version? M1ke (talk) 14:54, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

An excellent point, backed up by this article in The Guardian. The article title should definitely be changed. --Tommer312 (talk) 17:04, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

many album titles are in lower case (so what!) Rv uppercase would be out with Wiki policy on titles. Snoop God (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Should we change all album articles that use lower case on the cover!? I dont think so. Snoop God (talk) 09:49, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
This isn't about the cover - some albums don't even have a title on the cover! This is about how it is actually written, according to the band themselves... Lower case is the CORRECT way! Tommer312 (talk) 21:35, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I am preparing this articel for DE-WP. There I ha a short discussion to a) adhere to the naming in the lemma itself (naming it "Built a Rocket Boys", but b) include {{DISPLAYTITLE:built a rocket boys!} } in the article. This way, WP standards and artists intentions should be fine. --Visionmaster2 (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

That makes no sense. On every album with the exception of 'Leaders of the Free World', "Elbow" is written entirely in lower case, suggesting the band prefers the name to be written this way, but I don't see anyone complaining about that and asking for the Elbow wiki article to be changed to 'elbow'. Titles are written in title case, regardless of any aesthetic preferences the artist may have. Kafka1251 (talk) 16:53, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
