We should refer to it how the majority of the reliable music press refer to it. Allmusic uses II [1], the BBC uses II [2] and the NME uses both ii [3] and II [4]. That's 3 for II and 1 for ii. Unless more publications start to use ii we should use II for the time being. -- JD554 ( talk) 19:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I remember when the BBC, part of this so-called "reliable music press", once referred to VLV as "Viva La Vida Or Death To All His Friends" LOL 58.7.105.226 ( talk) 01:12, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Ok, The official site refers to it as ii, the back of the album also lists it as ii, and MusicBrainz also refers to it as ii ( http://musicbrainz.org/track/df254587-24f2-4b13-9a67-292acf1a2aca.html ) alvareo ( talk) 02:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
By the way, that Manual of Style refers to the article's title, which means we can put ii all over Wikipedia, doesn't it?-- ≤ alvareo [talk to me] ≥ 17:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

The issue at hand here is respect for the artist. ThinkBlue states on her personal page that she is a fan of Coldplay but shows an utter lack of respect for the fact that they have clearly titled this track Life in Technicolor ii. This is how they wish it to be known and because they created it this is their right, regardless of "reliable sources" or "Manuals of Style". The only source that matters in this case is the sleave of the official release (which I have at my house if you'd like to see it) where the song is clearly labeled Life in Technicolor ii. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.225.137.250 ( talk) 17:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
A recent edit summary claimed that there was a "consensus" for the article remaining at "II". Reading this section, unless we are discriminating against unregistered editors, there is anything but. WP:MOS does not appear to suggest anything about using a different format for song titles, as really that is changing the title to something unintended. If robotically following the rules means that the article should use "II", then the rules should be clarified as using common sense an article about a song should be at the title of said song. WP rules aren't just made on a random whim. So to summarise, this article should be moved to "Life in Tecchnicolor ii". U-Mos ( talk) 13:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I have to agree, there is absolutely NO REASON for the "ii" to be capitalized, EVER! The song title CLEARLY has them lowercase, everywhere in the world. This needs to be fixed. Kevinmon ( talk) 18:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Back when Coldplay did that live gig for BBC Radio 1, "The Goldrush" was one of the songs they played live, an alternative title to the eventually released "Death Will Never Conquer" with Will Champion vocals. Is this b-side the same as that song? -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 17:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Since they're a British band, surely the color should have a "u"? -- 79.66.80.247 ( talk) 17:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
has anyone noticed that they guy filming the puppet show used to mouth-out a couple words (looked like "fuck yeah"), but now his lips don't move when they go to a shot of him? (youtube version) misterdan ( talk) 19:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Okay, so I'm new to the whole wikipedia thing, so I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for this.
In the article the sentence, "The song was originally intended to be on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, but was altered to the form that appears on the album as the band did not want to include a song that they considered to be their safety net and that would be an obvious single.[5]" uses reference #5 as citation. However, since I didn't quite understand the wording in the sentence, I went to the reference for clarification. The link provided doesn't say anything about how "Life in Technolcolor II" was original intended to be on Viva la Vida....
What is the appropriate way to clean this up?

Hi, the actual name of instrument is "santoor" . Its played mostly in north northeast india. The reference should I think be corrected. because those people playing it seem to be south asian. and hence its a Tabla+Santoor.
not whatever the other name is mentioned.
Please correct for clear and correct information. —Preceding
