Thread

[edit]

Please note that the thread below is a result of user Drini not fully understanding what my original note meant. If you also do not understand my note, please let me know so that I can explain the issue in a more indepth way. Basically, all titles (NOT article titles, I mean the single or album titles listed within the article body text) should be displayed EXACTLY as they appear on CDs, Books, and other official media (poor grammer, unique style [such as on-off caps, lowercase, run-on wording etc), symbols, caps... and so on should not be "corrected"). For example, if the official title is "SUPer Gravatttaion probLEMy" this SHOULD NOT be changed to "Super Grave Problem" or anything other than the OFFICIAL way. Thank you for reading. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 19:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

As the creator of this page I must note something very important for future editors of this page (also try to --124.87.140.63 (talk) 02:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)observe this for any non English speaking band or author... etc): If you see a single, album, dvd, concert, or book title that contains poor grammar, please consider that even though the English spelling or grammar may be incorrect, that it still may actually be the official title. For example, the single "Melanchorinista" is OFFICIALLY spelled this way in roman letters. It does mean "Melancholinista" however, it is spelled with a "chor" in English on the single cover, and thus must be written this way in the listing. If someone is searching for the single, and cannot find it the official way... then what good is wiki? As the creator and a huge fan of this particular artist I write the titles the official way along with the japanese text, OR I at least have checked new additions for official correctness. Please do not tamper with titles unless you have found hard evidence that the title has been written incorrectly from the official spelling. In the case of Melanchorinista, all one must do is observe the picture of the single on the official page which is linked in the article at the bottom. Please help keep wikipedia encyclopedic and correct! Thank you. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 11:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

also note, some OFFICIAL japanese titles are titled in all CAPS (or with stars and hearts or other "non-letter/number characters) this is NOT a mistake, please leave them like this. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 04:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, can you provide arguments on why should we break the convention? why not putting redirects in the all uppercase titles? The article text could use uppercase, but I don't see compelling arguments for changing the convention of the title. Also, for the "people wil lsearch for the upper case title", well, that's what the redirects solve. So far I haven't seen a discussion (perhaps you can point it to me) and since there's no consensus yet, I suggest not to change albums titles to uppercase (as in AROUND THE WORLD from the existing titles). -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 04:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I started this article, and if the title is "officially" all in caps, it needs to remain that way. You can't argue away a title just because you don't like the way it looks. I'm sorry but I am still voting for ENCYCLOPEDIC over stylistic opinions. Style has no business tampering with OFFICIAL titles. Sorry, no. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 19:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
also, here is a great example for why: YUKI has a single called "joy" which appears on an album, called "JOY." Case closed. :) -- NatsukiGirl\talk 19:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Except that you didn't stating your point clearly (that you were talkign about article text and not article name) was causing other editors to move articles changing their titles. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 20:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The typesettings used on Album covers (and this is not restricted to merely Asian artists - examples can be seen from all continents) are far too unreliable to be used in an encyclopedia. This is why the Wikipedia naming convention on musical releases has been set the way it has. If an album appears with it's name all in upper case on the sleeve that is no reason to list it as such on Wikipedia. In these cases a redirect to the article title which conforms with Wiki guidelines will suffice. 219.112.189.202 04:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't make assumptions about where I obtain naming info. I always check current publications, the album jacket itself, AND the official website before making the call. Within the body text of an article, it is vital to spell the titles exactly as the author intended. For example, YUKI's single "joy" and album "Joy." -- NatsukiGirl\talk 08:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is not only symbols and caps that I am concerned with, it also faulty grammar and spelling. If the title of an album is "mechine it tyming bamb" this should, under NO CIRCUMSTANCE be changed to "the machine is a time bomb"... because that is NOT the official title. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 21:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth quoting this guideline at this juncture. Regardless of typefacing on album covers etc, full capitalisation is to be avoided on Wikipedia. Of course, noone is suggesting changing the spelling of titles.ShizuokaSensei 09:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YUKI / UKI

[edit]

Just added this information as having a quick check through all my Shaka Labbits CDs she's always credited as UKI. Is this the case for her solo work too? Sad to say I don't have any of her solo stuff to check. ShizuokaSensei 08:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UKI and YUKI are two different people... -- NatsukiGirl\talk 18:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed shortly after posting that message which is why I changed it back my original edit - I was having an especially retarted moment when I managed to confuse the two! ^^ Mental note; less sake from now on. ShizuokaSensei 22:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
haha it's ok, I made the Shaka Labbits article as well as this one, please feel free to add to either of them if you have info to share ^_^ -- NatsukiGirl\talk 03:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

[edit]

This article does not conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters) Brettr 02:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Further to the above, seeing the track Joy rendered with a small j made me think back to this guideline. We know that full capitalisation of tracks titles etc is out in favour of standard English langauge grammar, so wouldn't logic suggest small case initial letters should also be capitalised?

Digital Singles

[edit]

Should we explain what this means (example: a single made available only online in a digital format such as mp3)? We obviously can't say that it was never available on disc, because the digital single Biscuit will be available on the next album... Ideas? -- NatsukiGirl\talk 21:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Real name

[edit]

To the anonymous IP: you do realise that Japanese names aren't written in English, and that there are several ways to write Yuki, right? Go look up your porn star's kanji and compare them to the singer's kanji. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Your Lord and Master (talk) 00:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
