Anyone know which is correct? CBC used both "At The Hotel" and "At the Hotel" on screen at different times. The program itself had all the lettters in caps. I paid attention to see if one of them was used much more often then the other, but CBC used both. Qutezuce 20:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
No idea. I just posted this article up, and it took me awhile to decide whether the "The" was upper or lower. I went with upper because of a Globe and Mail article. The official site is no use, bc it lists it as "AT THE HOTEL." If we do decide to switch it to lowercase, I don't know how to redirect to a /At_the_Hotel article. Do yoiu>? - User:Darkhawk
- Creating redirects are no big deal. You just edit the article text to read "
#redirect[[Article to redirect to]]". Qutezuce 22:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- The word "the" is not supposed to be capitalized in an artistic work's title. This isn't a case where either form can be correct and it's a matter of determining which one is considered definitive in this particular instance — it's a case where one form is grammatically correct and the other isn't, but not everybody actually follows that because some people misunderstand the rule.

- I would imagine that the creator of a work can determine the capitalization of the title. Usually they follow correct grammar, but if they consistently refer to their own work with non-grammar correct captilization then that becomes the title. Qutezuce 23:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia's guidelines rule. The creator could render it "aT tHe HOteL", but on Wikipedia it would still be "At the Hotel". Evan Reyes 05:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
