Talk:H.m.p. (Japan)

I'm uncertain about the period after the p

[edit]

It appears that in one of their videos (Front Innocent), as well as on their official website (http://www.hmp.jp/portal/top/) they don't use a period after the p. I have a hunch that it was intentional (like as it is used in S.O.S Soap Pad). I think that this article should be moved to reflect the company name as it is now, whether or not it was intentional. I do not know how to move an article (Do you have to be an administrator to do that?) so could someone do that and change this URL to a redirect to that?

It would be easy enough to move, if that is what we want to do... I'm not sure though-- you probably know that Japanese often uses eccentric capitalizations when writing English, and Wikipedia's Manual of Style for Japanese articles says we should "normalize" the capitalizations-- put them into standard English style... I don't know what it has to say about periods... Maybe a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan would get some productive feedback. (Personally, I don't care much one way or the other.)

...this reminds me though, there was a minor controversy over the naming of the article when it was first started-- another editor moved it to the fully-spelled-out title, rather than the abbreviation. Since nearly no-one knows the full title, just the abbreviation, we all agreed the abbreviated name was the one to use. This abbreviation, incidentally, does use eccentric capitalization-- lower cases-- but I notice also that WP makes room for companies using lower-case letters, with Template:lowercase title...

Yes, they do seem to have decided to use h.m.p on their website and recent videos but it looks more like they are trying to be "cute" in their use of western characters rather than an actual change of name. The copyright statement at the bottom of each webpage still uses h.m.p. (with the period). I don't think this is meant to be a major name change and don't really see a reason to move the page for the present. Cherryblossom1982 (talk) 19:04, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
