MUSTARD

The article name should be changed to "(Do The) Mashed Potatoes" per WP:MUSTARD#Capitalization:

Titles that include parentheses should be capitalized as though both the part inside and outside the parentheses are separate titles (e.g., "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"). Can anyone help? Thanks. --Wolfer68 (talk) 02:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Styling parenthesis removed, suggest Do the Mashed Potatoes.--Labattblueboy (talk) 04:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:ALBUMCAPS clearly says that articles (such as "the") should not be capitalized. Would support title without parentheses as proposed by Labattblueboy above. --DAJF (talk) 10:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and both counts. "the" should not be capitalised, and the parentheses are part of the full title. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
