Release date

I can find no source that supports a release date of 1974. The two links provided, IMDb and AllRovi, both say 1975. Also, several other gratuitous changes have been made without explanation. Please explain them now. Elizium23 (talk) 18:37, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had earlier contacted the editor who made these changes, and have received no response. See the move request below. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. 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 move request was: page moved. Elizium23 (talk) 08:56, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Ghoul (1974 film) → The Ghoul (1975 film) – A user moved this page from the suggested target in an effort to rewrite the facts about the film from having been produced in 1975 to 1974. However, the available sources list 1975 as the release date. Reverting this page-move vandalism will require administrator's intervention to delete the redirect created when the move was performed.

Support. Unfortunately, this editor was rather meticulous ~~in his vandalism~~, so we have a lot of changes to roll back after this page gets moved. Elizium23 (talk) 18:59, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support because the film was released in 1975. However, there is some basis in calling it a 1974 film. In Google Books Search, this and this mention The Ghoul as a 1974 film. However, the British Film Institute's Film Index International reports this information: "Year: 1974; Release: 1975; Copyright: 1974; Production: 4/03/1974". Per WP:NCF, we disambiguate by the year of the film's release. The page move is not vandalism, and we should assume good faith about such page moves.

Forgive my assumption of vandalism, but when the editor did not respond to a request for clarification at his talk page, my mind leaped to conclusions. Perhaps I did not give the editor sufficient time to respond. Mea culpa. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:26, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed the move as requested. If there is just a redirect then ordinary users can do such a page move. Also reverted to pre-COI edits and did a little cleanup on the article. Elizium23 (talk) 08:54, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. 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.

Plot Summary

the gosh wow zonk whiz narrative style is really annoying, and reads as though written by a child of ten- which it may well have been. I suggest it be returned to the synopsis of before , 77.231.186.165 (talk) 15:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
