Talk:The E.N.D. World Tour
Tour title
As per the official promotional material, there is clearly NO fullstop after the 'D' in the title. Please do not change again unless promotional material is altered. Mrincredible (talk) 12:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- What material? The poster? That's exactly the same style as The E.N.D. At least we should try to focus on one style.--Totie (talk) 15:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- As we already use The E.N.D. with full stop for the same reason, we should stick to this style. It would be confusing. The sources in this article don't support your position, as one of them clearly says "The E.N.D. World Tour". We should wait for more official sources.--Totie (talk) 11:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- As I have stated MANY times, all of the "OFFICIAL" promotional material, including the poster featured on this page, but also ALL of the television commercials and newspaper advertisements in Australia (which you would not have seen clearly) have not once used the full-stop at the end. The sources are merely local companies, and obviously the official imaging featuring the band would trump this. The album cover, on the other hand, uses OFFICIALLY both versions. You will notice (on the deluxe version at least) the front does not use the third full stop, whereas the spine does. Please do not change unless and until there is anything OFFICIAL released otherwise. Mrincredible (talk) 12:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- As I said before, it is confusing for others. While we use the full stop for the album, we don't use it for the tour (which is based on the album). I can't check the commercials, because I don't live in Australia. The poster does not support the correct title, because they could have removed the last full stop for style reasons. Note that they don't use any points at all, but interpoints. There is no clear style of writing at this time, all sources are different and posters aren't clear enough. I wan't a third opinion on this. If we let this name as it is, then we should rename The E.N.D. as well, to keep the consensus.--Totie (talk) 14:23, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- I believe the article should be left as The E.N.D. because after all it is an abreviation. All abreviations should have a dot after each letter as this is considered good English and would be gramatically correct. Billboard's discography page also lists the album as E.N.D as does Amazon.com, Target.com, BlackEyedPeas.com. Plus wikipedia states under its rules for articles that albums/songs/people should be named under gramatical correctness and regardless of how it is otherwise spelt. for an example of what i mean: Whitney Houston's new album is called "I Look To You" but under wikipedia rules it has to be called "I Look to You".
