GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:God Put a Smile upon Your Face/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Lead

"This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions." I don't understand why this is relevant. Secondly, it's in the lead but not in the main body. Thirdly one of the cats is Category:Copy Control albums but I don't understand why when it's not an album.
- To be honest, when I started working on the article, that was mentioned in the lead. I didn't know whether to leave it or remove it. I wanted to remove it, but, I don't know if I should. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've removed it. It adds nothing at all to the song. It's more about the album. Peanut4 (talk) 21:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release

"The song was later released on 21 July 2003." Does this mean in countries other than US and Canada.
- Yup and mentioned it after the date. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - When was it released in the UK? Peanut4 (talk) 21:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Added date. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Promo singles were released for in the UK and US." I presume this should be "released for" or "released in"
- Fixed. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only a couple of things, but I'll put it on hold for now. Peanut4 (talk) 21:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passes all the criteria and the one image is fine. There's not much more I can add really. All the best with any further improvements. Peanut4 (talk) 22:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the review. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Jenks24 (talk) 05:55, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

God Put a Smile upon Your Face → God Put a Smile Upon Your Face – Sources uppercase the "u" in Upon. NME Rolling Stone All Music BBC IGN New York MagazineHot Stop (Edits) 04:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But "upon" is a preposition with less than 5 letters, see Wikipedia rules. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:48, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So Wikipedia rules allow us to make up titles and completely ignore sourced information? Hot Stop (Edits) 15:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Anthony Appleyard. An article title is the Wikipedia title for the article, and not necessarily the actual name of the song, for instance, this article could have been called God Put a Smile upon Your Face (Coldplay song) and that is not the stylized name of the song either. Personally I wish that all WP titles were rendered in small caps automatically and without other options. Would save lots of discussion. I also note that the article is actually silent on how the song title is rendered so it doesn't look like it's raised any thought so far. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. As a publication, we are allowed to maintain a consistent house style, so that our articles look professionally consistent. Applying our house style to the capitalization of the title of a work is emphatically not the same as making up a title. Powers ^T 00:10, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Prepositions are "and, of, the, in, out, on, over, like, into, for, from, with and upon" Unreal7 (talk) 19:32, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
