Talk:Love Shine a Light

Capitalising "a" and frequent moves

Why move the article around? It just means people keep having to fix double redirects. Neither "a" nor "A" is consistently applied, here on wikipedia [1](compare paragaph with image caption) or on the official website [2]. Is there an official policy on title case?

PS: I would like to note that the comma is not on any of the Eurovision pages. AlmostReadytoFly 16:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Names There is this. If the official title of the song is precisely "Love, Shine A Light" then we should move it back. If it's just the words love, shine, a, and light, then it should appear as it does above (since "love" is being addressed.) Every time I move a page, I check for double redirects and fix them manually (although, people make mistakes.) If you find the redirects problematic, you can fix them easily with WP:AWB, or get permission for a bot. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 16:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't want to delve too deep into the discussion, but Katrina's website [3] says it's "Love Shine A Light", while Katrina and The Waves' website [4] consistently uses "Love Shine a Light" - not very helpful in alleviating the confusion... ;) Bravada, talk - 18:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

PS. Eurovision official website says "Love Shine A Light" too on at least one occassion [5], but I don't have the time to check for more... BTW, as video clip from the official broadcast [6] also features a capitalized "A". I guess whatever is written on the original single's cover would be definitive...

I was convinced that the comma was present in the title, because that's the way I always remembered it having been shown on the screen in 1997. However, I do not have my tapes with me right now - but thanks to the link above I see I was mistaken! I wonder where I got the comma from then.. perhaps the official programme? I don't have that with me now also, but if that's the case then it should be disregarded because the programmes are full of mistakes. Sorry to have ever caused any confusion! As for the capitalisation, yes I do believe that the "A" should be capitalised, because that's how it's written on the broadcast and on the CD single cover.

Okay, in that case, I'll standardise everything to "Love Shine A Light", and leave a note on the talk page.AlmostReadytoFly 19:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Or not, as it requires admin privileges.AlmostReadytoFly 20:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

Love, Shine a Light → Love Shine A Light – CD cover found by User:Eurosong gives this exact capitalisation and no comma, resolving previous confusion. Admin assistance needed because destination exists as redirect from an earlier move. AlmostReadytoFly 17:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Support, per the above single cover.AlmostReadytoFly 17:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Support, the suggestion has been here for quite some time now, do we really need a "survey"? Bravada, talk - 18:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

That was my opinion, but the move was de-listed for lack of one.AlmostReadytoFly 19:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for being picky, but the survey makes it 5 times easier for an admin to determine consensus. This way I as closing admin can cleary see there is a consensus and I know nobody will say that I missinterpreted the discussion. --Dijxtra 10:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Capitalisation

Just to explain my moving the page to Love Shine a Light: Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names stipulates that articles in song and album titles should not be capitalised. Extraordinary Machine 13:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Really minor thing

This song isn't technically the "most successful Eurovision entry ever" by percentage of total points won: Ein bißchen Frieden (78.92%) inches out Love Shine a Light (78.82%). I'll edit in this comparison. – MaskedSHEIK ^{(talk)(contrib)} 14:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Differentiation

All of the facts, just in the first section dont match up and I don't know which on to go on! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.231.88 (talk) 20:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest win

Was this song the winning entry for the last time the United Kingdom won the Eurovision Song Contest, as of 2019? Should this be mentioned in the article? Vorbee (talk) 15:13, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Great British Song Contest

I've removed the references to Kimberley Rew appearing on stage at the Great British Song Contest performance. He did the taped interview and appeared for the award as mentioned, but it was clearly Vince De La Cruz that appeared on guitar. Decided to be bold and edit even though I'm not a big Katrina and the Waves fan. If I'm really wrong about this revert and let me know Danielv84 (talk) 09:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
