"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. Happy Editing! PamD 08:34, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
Approbation of Leonard Cohen himself?
Greetings - I have just read a YouTube comment (please, no eye rolls) that stated k.d.lang sang "Hallelujah" when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame and that hers was his favorite version of the song. Is there any truth to this? If so, a brief mention would be good. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 12:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
