message: At the end of the first paragraph, Paul Mauriat's instrumental version is noted as being the only single by a French artist to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  According to the Wikipedia entry for The Singing Nun's Dominique, that song reached #1 on the Hot 100 in 1963/54.
:According to The Singing Nun's article, she was Belgian, not French. Actually, it says that in the first sentence of the Dominique article as well.  Scolaire (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Can you please explain your reasoning behind the consistent reversion of page moves for this article? Wikipedia's Manual of Style for Manual of Style/France- and French-related articles, and specifically the section regarding capitalisation, explicitly states that for consistency the method of capitalisation used by l'Imprimerie nationale should be used for capitalising works of art with French titles. In the case of this article, the specific rule that is invoked states ; this means that "L'Amour est bleu", with the capitalised A on Amour, should be the correct title of this work given that this is the first noun in the title.

replies: text: the overwhelming majority of sources title it L'amour est bleu, as indicated by ngrams in both English and French:  and that has been the title on Wikipedia for years. Furthermore, the French Wikipedia also has it at fr:L'amour est bleu, not to mention German, Italian, Spanish and probably others too. I don't know about the rules you mention, my French expertise doesn't extend to that, but clearly they aren't being followed in this case, and Wikipedia does not blindly follow style guidelines against clear common usage.

replies: text:  A quick Google search on my side shows a wide array of different capitalisation methods across various websites, including "L'amour est bleu", "L'Amour Est Bleu", "L'amour Est Bleu". I can't speak for what goes on on other Wikipedia sites, but it shouldn't be a controversial thing to follow English Wikipedia's own style guidance when choosing how to capitalise a work of art. There are lots of articles on Wikipedia whose titles don't follow the most popular stylistic choice elsewhere on the internet, whether that's a difference in capitalisation or character replacement, because  Wikipedia editors have collectively decided to follow a set of rules on article titles for consistency. Just as English titles have rules regarding title capitalisation the same should be true for works in other languages when there is an agreed upon approach.
