It absolutely should be "I'm With You". There is not a massive conspiracy trying to print the 'W' uppercase everywhere. The page should remain where it is. It absolutely should be "I'm With You".

A solution must be made to the edit wars between "With" and "with". Winnermario 23:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)


I'd suggest checking out how it's titled on the actual back cover of the CD on which the song originally appeared or, if that's not enough to satisfy you (because, after all, it could be a mass produced typo that was either overlooked or ignored by EVERYONE who had to "inspect" and "approve" it before release), check out her official website which ALSO spells it "I'm With You" (unless this TOO is a grossly overlooked or ignored typo). Or hey, check out MTV's album page for "Let Go" . I see a capitalized "W". Another typo? Let's check Billboard.com: hey look, the album page on Billboard capitalizes "W" as well! Could this be ANOTHER typo? Just for fun, let's check Amazon, the sheet music and pretty much any lyrics site you can think of... yep, ALL with a capitalized "W". MORE typos?!?

As I've noted to User:Extraordinary Machine (with no response, I'll presume he's occupied with other matters), I personally am with User:MZMcBride: whether intentional or otherwise—unless a press release or rerelease follows with a correction—we ought not be changing what the artist intended. If a song was titled "HaXx0rZ", for example, it should appear that way; same with film, band or book titles—we don't change 5ive to Five or "Sk8er Boi" to "Skater Boy", and capitals should be treated the same way. Only when a title is ambiguous—The original poster for I am Sam was in all-caps while the video release was all lower-case—should convention override. RadioKirk talk to me 03:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
