[edit] Article

If it bothers you that much go for it. Ucscottb4u 18:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

I'm putting in pop punk as well. Stuff like The daily grind was more hard punk, but if you look at songs like I'm not your savoir they've gone a tad softy. --Mudel 14:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, so I change Punk Rock to Hardcore Punk --62.57.132.17 22:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dead link

[edit] No Use For A Name

Every word in the title starts with a capital letter. Look at the their website [1]. --R:128.40.76.3 14:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

You are incorrect. The band themselves are inconsistent with capitalization. The official website and most of the album titles spell it in all caps (NO USE FOR A NAME), thus giving no indication of how they would capitalize it in a sentence. On the official Myspace and the cover of Live in a Dive it is "No Use For A Name." On the covers of both More Betterness and Hard Rock Bottom it is "No Use for a name." So clearly there is no consistent source on how the band themselves choose to capitalize it. In any case, the way they choose to capitalize it doesn't matter for the article title. An article title, and the body of the article iteself, should follow both normal English rules of capitalization as well as Wikipedia's Manual of Style on capitalizing. In particular look at "mixed or non-capitalization," which says "If the situation is ambiguous, capitalize normally." In both titles and proper names, prepositions ("for") and articles ("a") are not capitalized. If you search for "no use for a name" on Google, you will find that their artist summary page correctly capitalizes the name as "No Use for a Name" (see here).

This article was recently moved from the correct capitalization "No Use for a Name" to the incorrect "No Use For A Name" by R:128.40.76.3. I moved it back and was reverted by the same user. If no one can provide a strong argument for the current capitalization (capital "f" and "a"), I plan to move it back at the end of the day. --IllaZilla 19:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

No objections were raised, so I moved it back. It now matches the capitalization used in all the album articles that link to it (which I didn't write, so obviously I'm not the only one that believes the correct capitalization is "No Use for a Name"). I also moved the talk page back to the correct article title after I discovered there were multiple redirects happening. I think this should settle the issue, but if you disagree please raise an objection here before moving the article again. --IllaZilla 07:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
