Maxi CD single

Just found on eBay a person selling two CD singles of Better than Today, the normal one and the maxi. Here it is. Should it be added or not? Pedro João [talk] 21:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ebay is not a good source. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 22:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Than Vs. than

Seems like this is becoming an issue. Put your two senses in whether than should be lowercase or uppercase. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (talk · contribs) 16:33, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See User_talk:Mhiji#Better_than_Today. Per WP:CAPS prepositions and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters should not be capitalised. "Than" is a subordinating conjunction not a coordinating conjunction. Therefore it should be capitalised. Agreed? Mhiji (talk) 16:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You replying to yourself doesn't answer this. I already saw what you said, but I want another people to join into the discussion. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (talk · contribs) 21:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is a discussion necessary? Surely we should be following WP:CAPS? Mhiji (talk) 21:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion is necessary because there has been a little dispute over it, and I think it's best for a few others to put their two cents in. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (talk · contribs) 00:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK so what's your two cents? Mhiji (talk) 01:25, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly have no clue. But I guess no one else has anything to say, so I say it's fine the way it is now. :P ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (talk · contribs) 02:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better Than Today → Better than Today – The title treats "than" like a preposition, WP:NCCAPS says not to capitalize prepositions of four letters or less, and "than" is listed in the list of English prepositions. If it was treated as a subordinating conjunction, then "Than" may be capitalized. However, the whole title is a fragment sentence, not complete. Somehow, titles, like Star Trek Into Darkness, are encouraging people to dumb down English language mainly because... I don't know, probably of fandom of Star Trek. Unlike dot the i (the film), "Better Than Today" has no reason to be unique. Whilst "dot the i" is shown on film poster, the single cover of the Kylie Minogue song says "BETTER THAN TODAY" (all caps). Grammatically, "better" is a complement (also an obsolete alternative spelling of different word "compliment"), and "today" is an object of the preposition, which is "than". Somehow, I haven't met someone who knows "complement" nowadays, and I don't know who treats it as the spelling of "compliment". In the wake of Talk:Love You like a Love Song, perhaps I am requesting a seemingly ridiculous (hopefully understandable) proposal, like this. George Ho (talk) 04:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

'Support per WP:NCCAPS. The Star Trek Into Darkness thing was because there was a reasonable argument that the preposition was the first word of a subtitle, which obviously doesn't apply here. O N R (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Better than Today

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Better than Today's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
