Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music/MUSTARD#Capitalization states the previous move was against policy. This article should be titled "Get on Your Boots", not "Get On Your Boots", despite what any press releases may say about the song. Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk) 07:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Puzzling about the lower-case "on" in the article title, and noticed the above earlier discussion. Per that discussion, it should be " Get On Your Boots", as "get on" is a phrasal verb. It seems to have ended up named the other way, " Get on Your Boots", which appears to use the wrong case. WP:Manual of Style (music)#Capitalization indicates upper case for words forming part of a phrasal verb. I propose we now rename it "Get On Your Boots". PL290 ( talk) 08:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks to those making this into a nice little article. This suggests the lead needs updating - it's already on iTunes. -- Merbabu ( talk) 14:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
It has been proposed below that Get on Your Boots be renamed and moved to Get on Your Boots. - I take it that we can remove this notice now? MelicansMatkin ( talk) 15:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Can the release be called an actual single, yet? On iTunes, it's there more as an early release of an album track. There are alleged plans for a true single with No Line as a b-side.-- 68.126.28.192 ( talk) 01:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
NOT that I accept this hack as a reliable source, but Perez Hilton is reporting that it's not preforming well.
http://perezhilton.com/2009-01-28-u2-bomb-officially
Of course, this is the _same_ guy who constantly whores out Madonna (probably because he's paid to) and hypocritically shreds Sienna Miller (an home-wrecker), but gives Angelina Jolie a free pass. But I'm ranting at this point.
Since the song is released Jan. 29th, is it too soon for him to say it bombed, or is he being biased again?
Macshill ( talk) 20:48, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
The article says that this is the first lead single from an album not to get to number 1 in the UK since "With or Without You". The lead single of Zooropa was only available on VHS so that didn't go to number 1. The first traditional single from that album was "Stay (Faraway, so Close!)" which got to number 4. Strange that the source for this statement (www.chartstats.com) does not mention releases from Zooropa. Still, I think the fact that no single from Zooropa went to number 1 invalidates this statement - should it be corrected? Cubabit ( talk) 17:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it has got it's b-side..So is it possible to put the info into infobox?-- 62.168.170.155 ( talk) 19:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I've added a screenshot from the music video to the article. I'm thinking that a better choice would be one that illustrates Edge's quote of "men fucking everything up and handing it over to the women." Can anyone grab a screenshot that better illustrates the quote? MelicansMatkin ( talk) 16:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I will be reviewing this article. Check back soon for an update here. PL290 ( talk) 08:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
The article meets GA criteria 1,3,4,5 and 6. It is well written and with one or two minor exceptions there are no problems with prose or style. The article is let down only by citation issues, of which there are quite a few. I am placing the review on hold to allow time for the following issues to be addressed:
The remaining issues are minor questions of style or wording:
To recap: the article reads well and is let down only by the citation issues. These do need to be resolved before the review can be completed. PL290 ( talk) 17:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
PL290 still gets to make the final decision, but I'm not so sure the article meets the criteria.
