Who played Mrs. Voorhees?

No Plot Summaries!

Due to the trivia of death scenes being cut, in my opinion, the plot summaries should be extended.

Explain to me why camp crystal lake can add links to his film page. Or interviews he's done yet our site isn't allowed to. I only put the page link to our section on the movie. I don't care if it raises search engine listings. I assumed if camp crystal lake online can show their film page I could to. Or is there some sort of first come first serve BS? Same with the interviews. I assumed a fan of Su Charno would like to read an interview with him. How sharing info can be considered spam.

First, you pose a conflict of interest, because it appears you are the owner of the site and you are promoting it on Wikipedia. Second, did you conduct the interview, or is it an interview conducted by somone else that you have on your site? Was it an official interview or did you happen to meet them at an horror convention and just started talking tot them? Bignole 20:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it's an official interview. I'm not the owner of the site I'm a staff member who helped build it. The interviews were done by asking members of our Message board for questions then doing the interview. The information on who conducted the interview etc. is on each interview. They weren't done at a convention. Usually they were done over the phone. I thought Wikipedia was for sharing information about the topic. I would think an interview with one of the stars would count. Especially since we tend to get questions others haven't asked. Or if they have the answers haven't been published on the internet before. Like I said I could care less if it raises search engine listings. I just assumed people would be interested in the information.— Crystallakeafterdark (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Then you might want to try and ask the people over at Wikipedia talk:External links, because there are guidelines about external links. Bignole 22:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. JPG-GR (talk) 21:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Friday the 13th Part III → Friday the 13th Part 3 — Well some sites use roman numerals (like IMDb), the official site does note ([1]), all of the posters use "3" as do most of the VHS/DVD covers (i've seen some UK ones use roman numerals). I would just move it, but I want to see if there is a consensus. — TJ Spyke 15:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Oppose - On the grounds that the ACTUAL FILM uses the roman numerals. Given that the film uses that title, it should be that title. Just because the poster uses a numerical "3" doesn't mean that should be how the title should be listed. The poster for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre actually says, "Chainsaw", yet the film itself puts a space between the words. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 16:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

I can't see any good way to decide this one way or another. Neither Wikipedia:naming conventions and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) deal with it at all. Is there some other convention or principle that I'm overlooking? Andrewa (talk) 12:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. It says name it the most easily recognized. There's no way to say that the numerical three is more easily recognized than the roman numeral three (it's the same thing virtually), hence why the article is (and should remain) named by which the film actually names itself, and that is with the roman numeral. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
