[edit] Your Help Desk query: Correct way to show Film Titles on Wikipedia?

I have responded to your query on the Help Desk. I have copied the question and response here for reference. You're welcome to ask any further questions regarding this topic on my talk page, or of course on the Help Desk. Cheers! — Estarriol talk 07:24, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

What source is a film's title taken from? For example, on IMDb they use the title as it's shown in the opening credits, which can create confusion sometimes (Ghostbusters is listed as Ghost Busters). I've read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) but I couldn't find any reference to this. Pufnstuf 22:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Unless there's specific guidance otherwise in the Naming Conventions, at Wikipedia we use the most commonly used term for the base article and then set up redirects from other names that might be used to find it. If the name is used in multiple contexts (e.g. Dune), we make the base article Dune (film) and create a disambiguation page at the shared name. For example, I expect most people would search under Ghostbusters, so the best idea would be to create it there (with a toplink to a disambiguation page for the animated series etc), and have Ghost Busters redirect to Ghostbusters. As you can see, this is what editors have actually done in practice. At Wikipedia, the general principle is that ease of finding your information is most important - but redirects make this all so much less painful. — Estarriol talk 07:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fleegle

You wanted an image of his name? Try this! Totnesmartin 20:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Sorry about that AfD that I voted in. The picture in the article was a real character in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. But, it turns out that the article was about something totally different. I'm very embarrassed... --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Yepperz. Oh well, but I'm still embarrassed... --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help write the missing details about The Super Globetrotters

since you already helped writing some of the info in the The Super Globetrotters article, I figured out that you might be able to help fill in the details about each of the 13 villans.. Acidburn24m 03:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldnt English Language Articles have English Language Titles?

[edit] King Kong Appears in Edo

Replied. Neier 06:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

No problem, although if this source is to be believed, it technically wasn't the first kaiju film. An earlier Kong movie, Wasei KinguKongu (1933), would presumably hold that title. Zagalejo^^^ 06:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:MobyDickAndMightyMightor.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MobyDickAndMightyMightor.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
