Kareoke Revolution is not a sequel to Amplitude

The article doesn't state that Karaoke Revolution is a sequel to Amplitude. It states that Amplitude is Frequency's sequel, and that Freezepop had roles in Amplitude and Karaoke Revolution. Note that "sequel" is not plural, thus the only sequel is Amplitude. CryptoDerk 05:56, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

All I've got to say is that the entries between Frequency and Amplitude are very similar read one and then the other, you'll se what I mean. What does one do in this case? Post something about reading "Frequency" for more information? It's probably preferable to reduce the redundancy.--Headcase 21:37, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Frequency" vs. "FreQuency"

I question the wisdom in moving it to FreQuency. Where is this particular capitalization stated as an official spelling? --Golbez 22:21, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

You can find it spelled both ways, although on Harmonix's site as well as in the game manual it is spelled with a cap Q, so I support the move (I didn't move it, but I wrote most of it). CryptoDerk 22:39, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
For the reasons stated above by CryptoDerk. --Poiuyt Man (talk) 22:42, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I actually prefer the original spelling, without the capitalization. It's referred to as simply Frequency in a majority of its original press. I don't remember seeing the capital Q until this article was moved, actually. Pele Merengue 22:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The result was moved. Non-admin closure. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:16, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

FreQuency → Frequency (video game) — WP:NC(P) recommends "adding a parenthetical (bracketed) disambiguator to the page name: for instance when both spellings are often or easily confused." In this case, only capitalization separates Frequency and FreQuency.

Also WP:MOSTM states that "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment". —Mika1h (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. If someone types "FreQuency" they can be redirected. Since neither "fre" nor "quency" are words I can't see it being CamelCase, so it falls under WP:MOSTM. Let's not indulge the marketing men. --DeLarge (talk) 15:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
