At the Movies

copied from User talk:Scarecroe

Glad to see you found a home for your screencap of At the Movies by creating At the Movies with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Unfortunately, based on references I just added to the new article you created, the show's name never included the name of the hosts, screen capture contents notwithstanding. The show continued for four years with other hosts (as noted in the article). I've worked around the problem in a few places but would appreciate it if you were to rename it appropriately. Since there's an Australian show by the same name, it'll need a qualifier of some sort: if you follow existing conventions, options include At the Movies (U.S. TV series), At the Movies (1982 TV series), or At the Movies (Tribune TV series).

Is that museum.tv article using the legal name or a nickname for the sake of brevity? It's hard to tell. —scarecroe ( talk) 05:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC) reply
It's using the name used at IMDb (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083380/), the same used here, and the same used in the Tribune's archive (compare this: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22At+the+Movies%22+tribune&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=t&as_ldate=1982&as_hdate=1990 with a similar archive search of "At the Movies with"). 68.167.252.213 ( talk) 20:50, 23 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Title of the article

It may be less confusing if this article were titled "At the Movies (1982 U.S. TV series)" because Siskel and Ebert hosted both this program and the show now known as At the Movies at different times. TomStike ( talk) 01:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC) reply

The result of the move request was: Moved all. No opposition has been raised in over a week ( WP:SILENCE) and I see no benefit from relisting as there are no signs of opposition and neither are there any on-going discussions. Anarchyte ( work | talk) 11:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC) reply


– Both of the first two articles are arguably incorrectly named under WP:NCTV, but the first one definitely is. As per WP:NCTV, as these both originate in the same region/country, the preferred disambiguation scheme is "by year", and At the Movies (U.S. TV series) should redirect back to At the Movies. Additionally, these are not "TV series" (with "continuing story elements"), but are instead properly "TV programs"; the same applies to the Australian TV program. So, the American editions should be at At the Movies (1982 TV program) and At the Movies (1986 TV program). Any necessary redirects can be created, post-move. -- IJBall ( contribstalk) 16:36, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment - From how I read WP:NCTV, I'd assume since there is an Australian version, a US version should have U.S. prefix, however, since there are 2 US versions, they should also get the release year prefix. So the names would be At the Movies (1982 U.S. TV program) and At the Movies (1986 U.S. TV program) -- Gonnym ( talk) 17:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Absolutely, no – "double disambiguation" is 100% not necessary here: see User:IJBall/NCTV and double disambiguation – this spells out clearly those situations when "double disambiguation" is necessary, and it's very rare (and does not apply here)... -- IJBall ( contribstalk) 17:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Support - Per IJBall's explanation on how double disambiguation works and WP:NCTV. -- Gonnym ( talk) 21:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Support per NCTV and, well, just how WP disambiguates, per WP:AT#DAB and WP:DAB. We do not use over-disambiguation, just enough to get the job done.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  02:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
