Incorrect Latin Term

edit

per se is used incorrectly in the section about Radio One. You'd wanna use like vis-a-vis (with the accents, I'm lazy) or apropos (not a proposito 0_o )

Thanks! White Scooter Guy

TRAE cartoon

edit

There should a section about his youtube cartoon. He's been involved with that for awhile now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.80.178 (talk) 08:58, 17 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

There needs to be a section about his giving back to the community

edit

The below was added on February 13th, 2020. Please notify of any other community involvement to discuss prior to these two or in the future.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Etownunder (talkcontribs) 05:10, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

MOS:THEBAND

edit

Here is an except from the Wikipedia policy MOS:THEBAND, also called MOS:THEMUSIC:

Similarly, for duos and individual musicians, a leading the is not capitalized mid-sentence in a nickname, pseudonym, stage name or other alias. Exceptions include grammatical articles from non-English languages, and stylized forms such as thee, tha and da. Examples:
Guitarist the Edge also sings and plays keyboards for U2.
Tito El Bambino's album It's My Time contains one song produced by the Neptunes.
Megan Thee Stallion makes a featured appearance on Chance the Rapper's 2019 debut album.
Snoop Dogg collaborated frequently with labelmates Tha Dogg Pound.

This is a weirdly-written policy. It talks about "leading thes" then gives Megan Thee Stallion as an example. Regardless, it's pretty clear that the policy is stating that stylized forms of "the" (thee, tha, da) should be capitalized in artist names. I tried to correct Trae tha Truth to Trae Tha Truth on the Wikipedia article for Might Delete Later but was told to start a discussion at this talk page instead.

This is essentially a WP:Requested moves discussion, as the guideline indicates the page should be moved to Trae Tha Truth. It will be interesting to compare the guideline with our cited sources to see how the media are treating this style issue. Binksternet (talk) 15:25, 31 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
