[edit] Requested move

I think this article should be moved from About Last Night (film) to About Last Night..., since the film's correct title is with the ellipsis. Anthony Appleyard objected to my previous move request under Uncontroversial proposals saying "But it is guaranteeable that many people looking for this page will leave the dots off. To complicate matters, page About Last Night without the dots is about a music EP record." However, I feel that this move to the film's correct title would have no influence on that. People looking for this page the way Anthony Appleyard described will end up at the article about the EP either way, whether this article is under About Last Night (film) or About Last Night.... This move will not affect that. We might additionally consider moving About Last Night to About Last Night (EP) and turning the former into a disambiguation page, but that's a different matter. --Fritz S.

Comment I don't have any sense of the relative importance of the two. But assuming they're roughly equal, I think the suggestion that people will leave the ellipsis out is likely right, so About Last Night should probably be a disambiguation page. It makes sense to make the title of this article as accurate as possible, with ellipsis. But is ellipsis a distinct character from three periods? If so, people might not know which to type to link directly to the page. This is the only possible objection I can see to the move. If the characters are separate, I think somebody who is experienced with Wikipedia practice in the area of easily confused characters. If ellipsis=three periods, I support the move fully.

The move I suggested is to the title with three dots, but you're right About Last Night… (with the elipsis as one character) should redirect there, too. --Fritz S. (Talk) 09:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
