thread_title:  Brennende Langeweile 

message: I reverted User:Rothorpe's edit that rendered all midsentence mentions of The Adverts as the Adverts (plus one of "the Damned") (diff). Rothorpe has in turn reverted my edit (diff), quoting Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters#Use of "The" mid-sentence. Reading that, it seems to justify my edit - 1) as an "idiomatic exception" i.e. a proper name, and 2) by "following the sources" which commonly refer to The Adverts. I hate to get into edit wars, so I will ask an admin to pop in and take a look. Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I do see there is a lengthy discussion of the topic here with a consensus on the vs The in running text, with an emphasis on consistency in articles. While my sense that the proper name of this group is, and always was, The Adverts I have to admit after doing a Google Book search on "The Adverts" + punk that the lower case use does predominate in running prose.

replies: text: You're right that the word's part of the band name in this case, but Rothorpe is correct to lower-case it in running prose, per our MoS. In addition to the MoS link Rothorpe provided, see our Music MoS on this specific point). PL290 (talk) 09:25, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gaye Advert article 

message: The text below from the article doesn't seem right, you would hear chords, not see them?
As the reference is from a book I don't have I can't argue that it's incorrect.
The tour poster read: "The Adverts know one chord, the Damned know three. See all four at..."[9]
The poster shown in the link below would appear to have a more accurate quote but I'm unsure of the copyright status so hope one of the experienced editors will decide if it should be used instead of (or in addition to) the quote that points to reference 9
