  • Well, before anything else happens, you or someone needs to move this to its actual title "Love Me Like You" and correct the running text. Note, inter alia, the capitalization employed by every source in the article and MOS:CT. Don't just randomly decapitalize words; even if the artists decapitalized it (which seems doubtful), we usually wouldn't pay attention. — LlywelynII 12:35, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Other song articles don't capitalise 'like' though? See "Love Me like You Do". It's not random de-capitalisation.  — Calvin999 12:48, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
  • MOS:CT actually doesn't say anything for the word "like". I've asked for input here. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:37, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Except it does: all adverbs are capitalized, this form of "like" is an adverb, therefore... Now, that said, it's nice the editor was looking around and had a reason for the mistake. We should fix the other song as well, although the other song's neither here nor there as a DYK issue. I stand corrected. The like in "Love Me Like You Do" is apparently glossed as a conjunction which should be capitalized, but you're right that (a) this "like" is glossed as a preposition (Wiktionary/OED) and (b) the letter of the policy at MOS:CT currently states that we should employ WP:OR decapitalizations of it. That's obviously wrong, but you're right that we should wait for some people to weigh in over there about noting the problem. I added a WP:RFC, so hopefully it won't take too long. — LlywelynII 15:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
  • I don't really see why a review of the DYK should be upheld for the sake of a query over one letter. There's nothing wrong with the hook, so you was wrong to use the "again" symbol.  — Calvin999 18:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Falls under the "within policy" issue. Publicizing the wrong name of a song is perhaps the single worst policy violation a DYK could have, apart from unsourced, libelous BLP issues. — LlywelynII 01:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
  • But if you're so sure it's wrong, why not just move the page yourself and be helpful. You keep banging on about "all adverbs are capitalised" and giving us a grammar lesson, whereas if it was me, I would have just helped out and moved the page myself. I'd like to know how it's the "wrong name" too. Last time I checked, the name is correct. Thanks for your input here. I'm sure someone else will be willing to take over now.  — Calvin999 09:33, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Sorry for the ill feelings but, while I am sure, I'm also pretty certain I didn't want an edit war over this. Besides, it was helpful since we learned "Love Me Like You Do" is also currently at the wrong place and there's a poorly-worded policy that needed emending. Anyway, we'll see how that discussion goes. — LlywelynII 10:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Removing my opposition to the DYK continuing above. The article is in the wrong place per RS and COMMON, which far outrank the MOS, but the submitter is following it in GOODFAITH and getting the MOS fixed (which is going to face institutional inertia, apparently) is outside the scope of a DYK submission. I'll go ahead and handle the review since I've caused enough problems up to now. — LlywelynII 03:18, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

    The original page was created out a redirect back in September but 5× occurred starting 6 February which was timely; obviously long enough (~10k elig. chars.); Earwig is a little high, but only because of a direct quote treated as such; seems neutral and very well-cited, though the mistaken capitalization noted above has been added to some allcap titles even where the source uses capitalized "Like" in its running text; QPQ done; hook is cited, terse enough (~126 chars.), and interesting enough for those who'd like that style of music, though I'll note Stephen Fry's amusing distaste; no pic attached.

    Neither here nor there for the DYK but Stephen Fry's not actually a "broadcaster" is he? Does he have a DJ gig I don't know about or should his hat here be described as something like "commentator"? — LlywelynII 03:39, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
