[edit] At The Hotel or At the Hotel

Anyone know which is correct? CBC used both "At The Hotel" and "At the Hotel" on screen at different times. The program itself had all the lettters in caps. I paid attention to see if one of them was used much more often then the other, but CBC used both. Qutezuce 20:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

No idea. I just posted this article up, and it took me awhile to decide whether the "The" was upper or lower. I went with upper because of a Globe and Mail article. The official site is no use, bc it lists it as "AT THE HOTEL." If we do decide to switch it to lowercase, I don't know how to redirect to a /At_the_Hotel article. Do yoiu>? - User:Darkhawk

Creating redirects are no big deal. You just edit the article text to read "#redirect[[Article to redirect to]]". Qutezuce 22:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The word "the" is not supposed to be capitalized in an artistic work's title. This isn't a case where either form can be correct and it's a matter of determining which one is considered definitive in this particular instance — it's a case where one form is grammatically correct and the other isn't, but not everybody actually follows that because some people misunderstand the rule.

I would imagine that the creator of a work can determine the capitalization of the title. Usually they follow correct grammar, but if they consistently refer to their own work with non-grammar correct captilization then that becomes the title. Qutezuce 23:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia's guidelines rule. The creator could render it "aT tHe HOteL", but on Wikipedia it would still be "At the Hotel". Evan Reyes 05:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
