[edit] Translation in progress - Week of 3 July 2005

  • I've made spanish cinema redirect to this article. Also: has anyone noticed that searching for "Cinema of Spain" does not pull up this article? What am I missing here? Let's have fun this week with this one, Wikipedians. Fernando Rizo 3 July 2005 22:30 (UTC)
  • Hi, I've been having serious issues with the chart at the bottom of this page...perhaps I should sleep and look at it tomorrow. Almost none of the columns seem relevant or are very clear. I fail to see why the percentage column is necessary (but I think I'm missing something). Why do we need to know what percent of all of the viewers are spanish? And if this is necessary, is there a more clear way to indicate this (I had to pull out a calculator to convince myself that the percentage meant just that). Is the "Spanish success" heading a too-literal translation of something? I changed the heading to "Movie title" though this doesn't quite seem right to me. Oh, and what the heck does the last column heading signify? I'm totally at a loss over that one, but again, maybe I'm missing something. I just found this "translation of the week" page and I love the idea, for what it's worth. Snowmanmelting 5 July 2005 03:44 (UTC)
  • Hey hey! I've just gone ahead and done my best on the Civil War section, but I also left in the Spanish. Since I'm certainly not fluent, if anyone could maybe just look over that and see that I did everything right... One change I did make was to change the world "Cuplé" (for which I could find no translation) to "Culpé". This may have been incorrect... Anyway, if anyone can take a look and let me know (either here or on my Talk Page), I'd be quite grateful. -- CABHAN TALK CONTRIBS 6 July 2005 03:44 (UTC)
  • The remark that pornographic cinema has found "a Mecca" in Barcelona seems to me to be in singularly poor taste. -- Jmabel | Talk July 6, 2005 22:48 (UTC)
    • A fine point. I'll change that right now. Fernando Rizo 7 July 2005 04:20 (UTC)
  • I've made several little corrections, mostly of typoes (and one surname, "King" that should be "Rey" but must have been translated by mistake). They are my first changes in the wikipedia, and I haven't described them well enough in the summaries - I'm sorry, I'll be more careful from now on. Pedro Gómez-Esteban 7 July 2005 07:15 (UTC)

[edit] Small suggestion

I don't know much about Spanish cinema, but an aquaintence in Spain told me I should see Berlanga's ¡Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall!. From a google search, it seems it is considered a classic by the BBC at least. Thought it was worth bringing up, though I suppose it is possible it is not worth individual mention. Anyway, keep up the good work. - Taxman Talk 17:46, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
