[edit] Ultraviolet or Ultra Violet

I see somebody moved the page from Ultra Violet to Ultraviolet, and I knew this would come up eventually. I'm not quite sure what we should have as the definitive name for this article because the album itself contradicts itself, as in the liner notes it says "Ultraviolet", but on the back of the Achtung Baby album it says "Ultra Violet." U2.com has it as Ultraviolet, but then again U2.com isn't always right, look at the lyrics for some of the songs and they'll be off in some places (EX. Bad, Original of the Species, etc.) On iTunes its listed as "Ultra Violet" in everywhere except the US, however its listes as Ultra Violet on The Complete U2 on iTunes everywhere, including the US, and in the liner notes (digital booklet) for the Complete U2, which had significant input from The Edge himself. Honestly I don't know what we should call the article but I think that we should have some kind if vote on it, maybe U2 meant for us to debate this for a long time haha.

I moved 'Ultra Violet' to 'Ultraviolet' because ultraviolet is one word, and the back of Achtung Baby is artistically capitalised, e.g. 'ULTRA violet (light my WAY)'. The space between 'ULTRA' and 'violet' may be a simple typographical error. As for lyrical errors at U2.com, I do not know, but the liner notes of 'Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World' misspells 'lose' as 'loose'. Pædia 08:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah that makes sense, its just that it seems to have inconsitent spelling, and you're probably right about it bieng 'artistically capitalized' I think that calling it "Ultraviolet" and having the little thing about "also spelled 'Ultra Violet' makes sense. I know its not really that big of a deal but I think that what is there now is good because it has been spelled in both ways, and as for the definitive spelling it would make sense that it would be the one word.
