[edit]
  • The page was moved from the suggested name back in Sept. 08 with the edit summary "As per WP:MUSTARD, prepositions that are part of two-part phrasal verbs are capitalized (as they are being used as adverbs)." Which is correct? Parsecboy (talk) 22:18, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Writing as a long-time copy editor and journalism professor, I would have to say that Callin' In Sick is correctly capitalized. The In is not being used as a preposition there, but as part of the verb, like "speaking out," or "fooling around." (That story is not consistently edited, by the way.)

  • I agree that the current page title is correct. See the capitalization rule for song names: "Capitalize only those prepositions that are the first or last word of the title, or are part of a two-word phrasal verb". "In" is not used as an adjective in this case but rather as a part of a two-word phrasal verb call in. Jafeluv (talk) 22:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
