The 1997 thing needs to be fixed - BobJoHankins

Someone went through and removed the capitalizations of the word "out" in Time Out of Mind. I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Check every PROFESSIONAL review and article of this album on the web and in print, they capitalize "out" so that it reads Time Out of Mind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.105.110.246 (talk • contribs) 23:40, 28 August 2006.

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) states "In general, titles of books, films, and other works are also capitalized, except for articles (a, and, the) and prepositions and conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., to, from, and)." Extraordinary Machine 16:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, it's all fine and dandy to go according to conventions but I think making sure everything is factually correct is more important than following some made up conventions. Also, note the words, "in general".--Lairor 03:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

What's more "out" is neither an article, preposition or conjunction, it's an adverb. I'm going to change things back.--Lairor 04:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

1. Depending on the context, the word "out" can be several things; in this context, it's a preposition.
2. With regard to choices of typography, in most cases there's no such thing as "factually correct". It's likely that Dylan's record label's manual of style suggests capitalisation of prepositions in titles, in which case that's "correct" for them; ours doesn't, which is thus "correct" for us. The one thing we know for certain is what standard Wikipedia style (and what is stipulated in most major manuals of style) is, which is why it's best and safest to use it. Extraordinary Machine

Actually if Dylan's record label stipulates that "out" should be capitalized then that's the official name and we shouldn't put forward wrong information just in the effort of standardization. But I'm not going to change it because I know you'll just change it back whatever the rationale because I've seen you're really passionate about upholding this particular naming convention regardless of whether the rest of the world actually recognizes it.--Lairor 04:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title?

I always thought the title came from Warren Zevon's song "Accidentally Like a Martyr". Isn't Dylan a big fan of Zevon? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcmillancaleb (talk • contribs) 21:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
