| Posted: | | | | I have a question as I don't know how to handle it. The front cover says "he's just not that into you" while the end credits says "He's just not that into you". Which is correct? Is either? Would it be "He's Just Not that into You"? The credit block is no help as it's all in upper caps.
Just curious what others thought... |

| Posted: | | | | This is another rule where different parts are conflicting (or at least not 100% clear).
First off, we take the name from the front cover (that's not a conflicting part!)
Regarding capitalisation, it says to "Check capitalization of the title." but also says "For English titles do not capitalize joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc. unless they are the first, last or only word of the title. "Lord of the Rings" is correctly capitalized. "Lord Of The Rings" is not. "The Matrix Reloaded" is correctly capitalized. "The matrix reloaded" is not. "
I personally would enter it as per the front cover & recently changed an entry locally as such but I get the impression that Ken wants (English) titles capitalised. | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

| Posted: | | | | I would personally prefer to see the title the way it is on the front cover, but according to the rules you must capitalize it all. Stupid Rules. | | | Graham |

| Posted: | | | | Not to mention the fact that the cover has one word italicized in the title! The following is the actual title from the front cover (no capitals):
he's just not that into you
I just bought this today as well, and I will certainly NOT be submitting it, lest I be harshly berated by the small minority of rules "storm troopers".
And as others have said repeatedly over the few months I've been here, the "Rules" desperately need a re-working, clarified, etc etc.

Poo If you're talking about Canadian locality UPC 065935825975, I just submitted a profile for it (god knows if I'm the first though, the system doesn't actually want to release any approved profiles as I now have three days worth of approveds sitting in my contributions that haven't released yet...). I used the capitalization that is present twice on the back cover. "He's Just Not That into You".

I am not sure why the 'storm troopers' would come after you as that seems to be the proper way to capitalize it...per the rules. I am also not sure why it was necessary to make a snide remark aimed at other users. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I am not sure why the 'storm troopers' would come after you as that seems to be the proper way to capitalize it...per the rules. I am also not sure why it was necessary to make a snide remark aimed at other users. ... I wasn't making any snide remarks... It was a joke based off the original storm troopers comment in regards to a whole heck of a lot less people using the program that buy Canadian locality dvd's. That and I thought the fact that no "storm troopers" actually could come after me because it's an initial contribution that doesn't get voted on would play into the whole thing. Hence the big laughing smiley face. Not sure why everything big or small around here has to cause some sort of drama. I guess humour and sarcasm just really don't play out that well with the written word. Either way, back onto topic and misunderstandings aside, I did actually submit the profile with the capitalization of "He's Just Not That into You" (again, as it states twice on the back cover and as far as I'm aware, they got it correct and into actually is a "little" word) and it was approved no problems or worries. Yay! | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. | | | Last edited: by Merrik |

I took your comment in combination with the one above which said, "the small minority of rules "storm troopers"." If you didn't mean it as an insult, I will take you at your word as I have no reason to doubt you.
