This article and our MOS

edit

Please stop forcing the band's name in this article into WP:ALLCAPS. This is not an acronym. WP:ALLCAPS states: Avoid writing with all caps [...] when they have only a stylistic function; Reduce text written in all capitals in trademarks. MOS:TM states Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization practices, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official". MOS:TMSTYLE style states: In the article about a trademark, it is conventional to give the normal English spelling in the lead section, followed by a note, such as "(stylized as ...)" [...] then resume using an alternative that follows the usual rules of spelling and punctuation, for the remainder of the article. In other articles that mention the subject, use only the normal English spelling, not the stylization. We have a style guide for a reason. Stop trying to force your preferred version of this, which goes against the Wikipedia style guide. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

MOS:TMRULES explicitly says : "When a name is almost never written except in a particular stylized form, use that form on Wikipedia: Deadmau5, 3M, 2 Fast 2 Furious" All of the reviews of this album list the name as "FITTED". According to policy, this stylized version is correct. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
You're cherry-picking. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 15:59, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
No I'm not. You are misunderstanding policy while you edit stalk me. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:45, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm here to also suggest moving back to Fitted, as it's not an acronym. Here are some cherry-picked sources that don't use allcaps: falseto.com, rockandrollglobe.com, parttimeaudiophile.com, brainwashed.com. See also related band Firehose (band), which is stylized fIREHOSE . A similar discussion too place there Talk:Firehose (band)#Name of the band. +mt 21:34, 3 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
In agreement with this, and I've moved the page back. It is a stylization. Ss112 02:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
