Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Honky Tonk Man, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 12:45, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hiya, welcome to Wikipedia. Just so you know, the correct capitalisation is "the Rock", per the Manual of Style. This is used consistently followed throughout the article. Wikipedia does not strictly follow stylisation of other organisations, including the WWE. MB2437 03:28, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

The Rock is a proper noun and part of his name, so it should be capitalized. Jtasp111 (talk) 06:40, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Also, I checked and The Rock with a capital T is used in regular sentences whenever it is used in the middle of a sentence. Jtasp111 (talk) 06:42, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

There appear to be conflicting styles; all recent content is correctly capitalised. The MOS is very clear that it should not be capitalised, nor should other proper nouns. MB2437 16:54, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

The edit history says you edited it to where "the" is uncapitalized, and in that same MOS it says that it is typically capitalized Jtasp111 (talk) 18:44, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

I linked the wrong thing but still Jtasp111 (talk) 18:45, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

The MOS linked very clearly states Do not capitalize the word the in a trademark (see WP:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Institutions, and #Capitalization of The) regardless how the name is styled in logos and the like, except at the beginning of a sentence. This applies consistently across Wikipedia for individuals such as the Weeknd, the Professor, the Nuke, etc.

Given this is a widespread issue throughout WP:WRESTLING, I'd start a discussion there about it. MB2437 18:51, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
