WSTRN → Wstrn – Not sure but I don't believe "WSTRN" stands for anything. Although I'd personally prefer it in all caps, I have to follow the rules for Wikipedia. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:2DBB:5CB9:A2DD:51C6 (talk) 00:15, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The current title is correct according to the rules: it looks like "Wstrn" isn't a commonly used name. Peter James (talk) 15:46, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, isn't it supposed to be pronounced "western"? 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:1D7B:5DE:3B37:17F8 (talk) 03:27, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How it's pronounced isn't the only thing that's relevant. That there's no reason for capitalisation according to the rules is only a reason to rename to a form that's already in common use, not one that's rarely or never used. Peter James (talk) 19:03, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lottery, Jail[edit]

What gives? The intro paragraph ends with "Come into start of 2016 Wayne came in to a small fortune winning 750,000 on the national lottery." This sentence isn't even grammatical (is it supposed to say, "At the beginning of 2016, Wayne..."). Who is Wayne? Ctrl-F "Wayne" returns no other hits. No source for this lottery story. The lottery story is not mentioned elsewhere in the body of the article.

Then I look into this more, and apparently when this sentence was added, another sentence was removed, about the artists being sentenced to jail. This seems more obviously relevant, and also appears to be true: https://metro.co.uk/2017/07/28/wstrn-star-akelle-charles-jailed-for-four-years-for-violent-disorder-6812578/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.124.254 (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
