Autotuner or Vocoder

Does Kanye use a Autotuner or Vocoder. Some sources say a vocoder [1] [2] and other say an autotuner. [3] ~ Eóin (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 05:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Put on → Put On — The official Young Jeezy and Def Jam website sources (as well as virtually all media sources) have it listed as "Put On". Also, since "On" is the last word of the song title, it should be capitalized (WP:NC only applies for the words in between the first and last ones-when it comes to titles, anyway —Tom Danson (talk) 15:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose due to proper English rules. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 18:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- According to WP:NC#Album_and_song_titles_and_band_names, "Convention: In band names and titles of songs or albums, the standard rule in the English language is to capitalize words that are the first or the last word in the title." It goes on to mention not capitalizing "coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), prepositions (in, to, over), articles (an, a, the), or the word to when used to form an infinitive." However, I think the "first and last word" capitalization overrides the article use. That should be settled for sure in this discussion. Tom Danson (talk) 19:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - But proper English still applies to the last word. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 19:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Look pal, song titles often times don't use proper English. That's been used in numerous other cases. Why not just change Snap Yo Fingers to Snap Your Fingers if you're so concerned? How about Mo' Money, Mo' Problems to More Money, More Problems? It's incorrect English, but it's the name of the music. GET OVER IT. Tom Danson (talk) 19:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - And by the way, beginning a sentence with a coordinating conjunction isn't proper English either, yet you started the sentence with "But". I rest my case here. Tom Danson (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - When I say proper "English",I mean in caps,not words. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 19:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, I'm just going by Wikipedia's conventions, so until somebody else joins the discussion, this discussion will likely go unresolved. Tom Danson (talk) 19:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I believe Tom Danson is correct here; first and last words of titles are capitalized. See also WP:MUSTARD under Capitalization: for example, "Capitalize only those prepositions that are the first or last word of the title, or are part of a two-word phrasal verb (e.g., "Walk On" or "Give Up the Ghost")."

Orphaned references in Put On

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 Put On'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.
