message: There is actually no need to pipe the link. The club is known as "The Tanglin Club", so that whole phrase should be used as the link. In cases such as "A Tanglin Club spokesman said...", I might agree with you, but in this case the wording calls for the use of the definite article. – PeeJay 07:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "the" is not capitalised in the sentence (and shouldn't be). That being the case, I see absolutely no reason for the word "the" to be included within the link as it appears to the reader. That would simply spoil the look of the formatting.

replies: text: If it is really the case that the word "the" in "the Tanglin Club" should never be capitalised, then I shall move The Tanglin Club to Tanglin Club. – PeeJay 14:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm surprised that such a minor issue has become a major discussion point here (indeed the only discussion point on this talk page). But since it has, I'll say I agree with Singopo. The look of links should be kept as clean as possible. And in this case, that means including just the two nouns. The official name of the club (according to its website) is "The Tanglin Club" (including a capitalised "The"). But if you look around the website, when referred to within text the "the" is either dropped completely or used with a lower-case "t" (meaning that it has essentially been dropped from the name and replaced with a regular "the" to ensure the sentence makes grammatical sense). And that's what's happened in the sentence in question here too. Therefore it doesn't make sense to include the "the" as part of the link as the reader sees it. Pratl (talk) 23:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually on closer inspection I've noticed that the club's website is not consistent about this, and in some instances it does use a captialised "The" in the middle of a sentence at the start of the club's name, while in other places it does what I've noted above. Still, I think the way the sentence is now is the cleanest-looking alternative and therefore should remain. Pratl (talk) 23:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article needs references apart from the lead section. It would also be a huge help to format them per WP:CITE/ES to include at least publisher and access date, using the  format with at least publisher= and accessdate= fields. You can find more information about them on the template's page. --Sauronjim (talk) 16:15, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
