Corporate identities

Search for K D Lang at VIAF [1] shows hits 3 corporate identities (along with personals and works), briefly The Reclines, Siss Boom Bang, and Sing It Loud. Not sure I'll get back to it. --P64 (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dropping everything?

Larry Wanagas who immediately dropped everything to become her personal manager - this expression seems to be a bit unfortunate and suggestive (just what would he have dropped?). Could a native speaker please insert a less colloquial phrase? Thank you. -- Zerolevel (talk) 17:09, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zerolevel, good catch, did a copyedit. The Interior (Talk) 18:15, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Lang" or "lang" in text?

Coming here after a discussion at tatiana de la tierra ...

MOS:LCITEMS says "Some individuals do not want their personal names capitalized. In such cases, Wikipedia articles may use lower-case variants of personal names if they have regular and established use in reliable third-party sources (for example, k.d. lang). When such a name is the first word in a sentence, the rule for initial letters in sentences and list items should take precedence, and the first letter of the personal name should be capitalized regardless of personal preference", according to which, as I read it, the surname should be "lang" not "Lang" except where it starts a sentence. This article seems to use "Lang" pretty consistently in the text. I haven't made any changes, as this is a high-profile article with which I have no involvement: I just bring it to your attention.
