Talk:Steamboat Bill, Jr.

1569:, since its meaning would be radically altered without it. This comma has no meaning whatsoever in this construction. And we have evidence that various RS drop it, so it is definitely optional. It's conventional (in all publications) to normalize minor stylistic quirks, without a second thought, to a house rule, including letter casing (many style guides require a specific convention), changing font styling (e.g., to add italics around a genus and species in a journal article title, and to drop all font effects other than sometimes semantic emphasis if removing it would change the meaning), normalizing the title and subtitle separator (usually from a dash or comma to the now-standard colon), etc. Optional, meaningless punctuation is no different, and is not comparable to major editorial changes that are not done (except possibly with square-bracketed editorial markup or an ellipsis), like spelling (e.g., 3202:, it's not absurd at all. A fictional character is a creation of an author, playwright, screenwriter, or what have you. They create a work of art, and within that work of art there are "characters" which transmit and define the story. They are not real people, and their names are not those of real people. They are characters. If the character is named "Steamboat Bill, Jr.", for example (I picked the name out of a hat or the air or somewhere), and that name is on a written page or is shown on film or tape, then that is the name assigned to a character. If it contains a comma before the 'Jr.' then that is the characters name. I fail to understand how this is absurd, although coming back to the comma wars seems to be. 318: 297: 269: 249: 2761: 1674:- as a phrase this would normally be written as "junior Steamboat Bill", putting the qualifying adjective first. The comma in the rearranged usage as a proper name makes it clear to the reader that 'junior' is not the noun of the sentence, but is a qualifier. Usage for qualifiers at the end of a phrase is comma separation, as in "I enjoyed it, mostly" or "we lost, however". It appears also the basis on which this film was most commonly marketed. 71: 53: 22: 179: 151: 1545:, the reason the film's fame and acclaim is mentioned, at least in my thinking, is a concern for Knowledge. Changing the name of an iconic film (a film, not a person, something that seems lost to the opposing editors here) harms Knowledge, in my opinion. As an encyclopedia if we can't get the name of a famous film right then that, to some degree, may call the sites other facts into question. 477: 189: 81: 1563:. I previously supported retention of the "junior comma" in one case of another work's title because the publisher/distributor consistently titled it with the comma, always. That isn't the case here, since the movie was also advertised without the comma, indicating no authorial intent to require it. By contrast, the question mark is mandatory in the title of the film 677:, many of which were not person names. This article has been comma-free since it created 5 years ago; no reason to go opposite of guidelines now. Not sure what Steel1943 means by "the printed article title (with a comma)"; if he means the styling from some of the movie posters, we'd need to do all-caps, too. I notice the Rotten Tomatoes does all caps, no comma, like 2810:, etc. The only argument seems to be that some editors want an MOS guideline from a completely unrelated project to be applied here in a way that knowingly falsifies a movie title. Why would an encyclopedia want to knowingly falsify a film title in order to slavishly follow another project's guideline that doesn't apply outside that project? 3216:
It's absurd because it's so different from how we treat names of real people. Most of the authors and creators of these characters probably had never given any thought to how the name might be styled in print, nor thought about how the recommended and commonly used styles for such names might evolve
3184:
Don't you think it's absurd that a guideline on how to style names would be ignored when the names are of fictional people, just because the guideline is on a page about biographies? I don't think there was ever any discussion that led to the conclusion that you're claiming, even though there was a

Yes, newest (4th) agrees, as do almost all other modern guides, American or otherwise. And this is not an existence rationale, but a record of discussions that make the consensus clear. Not sure that you mean by "real-life names"; we're not deviating from the name or from styling that can be found
3231:
Of course they thought of the name appearing in print - in the case of print media, they wrote it as is, and if the character's name appears in a screenplay or television script, they knew it was going to appear on screen in the credits. Maybe writers working today might not use a comma before Jr.,

If it is still under copyright the original term will have been renewed. If you look at the list you will see an entry labelled "Steamboat Bill, Jr. / directed by Charles F. Reisner." which mentions the original registration: "Previous Registration: Silent motion picture prev. reg. 1928, LP 25362."
1374:
They probably didn't use the comma in that poster as it wouldn't look correct because 'Jr.' is slightly above and smaller, and they were highlighting 'Steamboat Bill'; you probably won't notice 'Jr.' immediately at first glance. You'll notice that they have comma whenever 'Jr.' is noticeable. I did

As I and other editors have noted, it is not encyclopedic to knowingly falsify a movie's title because of a Knowledge style guideline that does not apply outside WP:BIOGRAPHY. What we have precedent for is correctly and encyclopedically including movie-title punctuation where it verifiably exists.
1103:
The consensus in previous RfCs concerned more about biographies. Why does the consensus extend to non-biographical parts not named after other people? Checking history logs, the comma was added but then removed. Struck out WP:TITLECHANGES; I thought the article was originally "Steamboat Bill, Jr."

Well, I think the difference between changing a title and changing the styling of a title is something you're missing here. Nobody would support "Goodbye, Chips", for obvious reasons, just as they would not add "Mr." to a title of an article about a person. Yet may wikipedians are opposing this
3268:
We don't treat fictional names any differently from non-fictional ones. The seeming problem in this case is that we also don't change titles of published works. So we run into a consistency conflict no matter what: Either usage in this article will conflict with that in others, or usage in this
1202:
A short answer to George_Ho's "Why does the consensus extend to non-biographical parts": Because style rules exist for consistency, so applying them inconsistently defeats their purpose. All WP rules are applied according to their spirit not whether someone can dig up what they think is a clever

2622:
If the movie creators really made a choice that they cared about in this case, why do some of the movie posters omit the comma? Even at that time, when the with-comma style was more popular, it was treated as a style issue, not as a decision of the creator, who probably never thought about it.
2247:
The mixed usage in sources, including movie posters and books, and long time stability at the original title without a comma, suggest that there is no difficulty in using WP's consensus style on this one, too. The move to add a comma is at odds with very established consensus on this.

The posters were introduced first by those wanting to move to add a comma. It makes sense to refute their logic by pointing out that other posters are without the comma. No smokescreening, but I agree that posters are a weak source, which is why I cite so many other sources.

technicality. We don't treat fictional character naming differently from real-world bio subject naming. (We routinely apply the "A. B. not "A.B." spaced-initials rule to fictional character, for example.) This case is not special in any way; there is no IAR to be found here.

or maybe they would (I see examples of ", Jr." often, as I am now trained, like some monkey in one of those tiny top hats seeking coins, to notice it). Comma-Jr.'s are all over the place, in the past, present, and I assume they will be used by writers far into the future.

Rotten Tomatoes is hardly a journalistic site, so there it's a matter of sloppiness and low standards. An encyclopedia is supposed to be better than that. If you want proper standards, look to the Library of Congress. That's the standard to which we should strive.

Correct. When the film's title card was provided it showed that the film's name includes the comma. The work of art, in this case one of the most honored films in film history, comes complete with its name, and that's what the closer found.

this just never happened, right? The producers of the film were not wrong about the name of their own work. The clear fact of the matter is they did not care if the comma was present or not, and used both spellings, as do RS about the film.
811:. This is not a biography of a person. This is a movie title. While "overwhelming precedent" is claimed, this does not appear to be true: Movie titles with comma abound, and the only major example of another movie with "Jr." is Keaton's own 1051: 1048: 1041: 1039: 1375:
