The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Minutes to Midnight (album) → Minutes To Midnight (album) – Currently, the title is Minutes to Midnight (album), but when reading the booklet that comes with the album, it is stylized as Minutes To Midnight with the "t" of "to" being capitalized. I know this is a minor change, but this is the capitalization that the band used in the booklet that came with the album. JDC808 (talk) 07:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. MOS:CT does not make allowance for how the artist styled it; it says that to and other short prepositions should be lowercase. —C.Fred (talk) 23:54, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I agree with C.Fred. Wikipedia has clear style guidelines in this area. See also WP:MOSCAPS and WP:MOSTM. Noetica^Tea? 00:10, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why does T and T redirect here?

Checking links to see which one points here. Try T&T for the dab page, which has an explanation for the link here and now has a link to T. and T.. —C.Fred (talk) 22:49, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

Maybe I'll say that I am fan of the ATS era of the band at the beginning. Honestly I don't understand why there is such a big deal with naming the record "pop rock". It is pretty obvious that there are pop rock songs on the album - In Between, Valentine's Day and Leave Out All The Rest. So why people are still changing it to alternative metal or nu metal? NU METAL? One reason, please. There is one metal song on the album - No More Sorrow - heavy guitar riff, marching percussion and screaming, no doubt about it. But it's just one song. Yeah, Given Up and Bleed It Out also contain heavy vocals, but the first in more punk/grunge with it's main riff, while the latter is a synthesis of rap rock and funk. Still, even if we count NMS, BIO and GU as metal songs, there are 3 metal songs and 3 pop rock songs on the record (the rest being alternative rock). So why can't we just agree with the fact that LP has recorded some of these on MTM and put the genre into the info-box? I know that there are some die-hard Hybrid Theory and Meteora fans out there who just can't accept that LP don't play nu metal anymore, but wikipedia shouldn't lie only because of that. Right now someone not knowing the band could think that Minutes... is just another Meteora-like record, and that's pretty unfair. Thank you and sorry for terrible english. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.24.88.94 (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection of "No More sorrow"

The rederection of the song "No More Sorrow" should be changed to the page No More Sorrow (Linkin Park) instead of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chopra.nitin96 (talk • contribs) 04:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. The article name "No More Sorrow (Linkin Park)" will not replace "No More Sorrow" because almost every song on this website doesn't have the term "(Linkin Park song)" next to a song title unless if it's completely necessary. So therefore, it's not going to happen. I'm sorry. Skylar3214 (talk) 05:13, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
