| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure why thinking this situation is all that different than the James Bond situation that Gerri commented on. I can certainly see that some think it is more than just a logo, but I think it is a similar situation. I've always voted as to how I interpret the rules, not on my personal feelings on how the rules should be. It's a situation that could receive input from Invelos, but once again it is ignored and winds up being just another disagreement which ends in name calling. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | If you read that post, Gerri statement covers only 007 - it does not state that this clarification covers any other symbols or titles.
Since broad application of that single clarification would be in direct conflict with other rules/clarifications, it should not be done. |

007 should not be included as part of the title of James Bond films. This has been something that people have long tried to get into the database, even from the early days. The Italian contributions that changed this should not have been accepted. It is possible that Ken feels otherwise, but from my work throughout the years, 007 has never been appropriate for the James Bond films.
It is just a symbol on the cover of the DVD/BluRay, it is not part of the title, IMO.
-Gerri She did not implicitly state that it is only for James Bond films. Nowhere does she mention that this shouldn't be applicable in other similar situations. I'm not sure why in situations that Ken or Gerri could make a quick post and clear it up on how we should proceed. I like you, don't contribute these types, I just keep them in my local as I see fit. I do vote however if someone else contributes them, and I vote on my perception of the rule. If Invelos states it should be one way, that's how'd I vote going forward. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

I do vote however if someone else contributes them, and I vote on my perception of the rule. If Invelos states it should be one way, that's how'd I vote going forward. You have only highlighted a section of her statement - look at the very first sentence: "007 should not be included as part of the title of James Bond films." It is just a symbol on the cover of the DVD/BluRay, it is not part of the title, IMO.What is Gerri talking about? 007. Edit: I checked the voting on the contribution page and the community is divided on the MIB issue - 3 of 9 stating it is a symbol - the other 6 stating it is not. The issue is not clear and I am not going to spend any more time discussing an issue that will not be answered without invelos input. | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

| | Posted: | | | | Well of course she is, but she did not say that it is ONLY applicable to James Bond and not anything else. I don't know why you wouldn't use it in a similar situation. I can see both sides, just wish they'd take the time to post and end this argument. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

| | Posted: | | | | This is so tiresome.
Either:
MIB: Men in Black
MIIB: Men in Black II
MIB³: Men in Black 3
Or:
Men in Black
Men in Black II
Men in Black 3
To have any consistency, I'd vote for the latter. That is, all MIB variants are logos. Not just one or two of them. |

| | Posted: | | | | Problem is... we have on group that believes...
MIB: Men in Black
MIIB: Men in Black II
MIB³: Men in Black 3
...is correct per Rules. And another group that believes....
Men in Black
Men in Black II
Men in Black 3
...is correct per Rules. Neither side is willing to give on this since they do believe they are right per the rules. So without Ken coming and making a decision I do not see a consensus coming... so no consistency. | | | | Pete |
