Talk:Newswipe with Charlie Brooker

Title? edit

These sort of discussions are always a bit rubbish, but I notice User:DotComCairney is preparing to move the page to "Charlie Brooker's Newswipe" and thought it would be best to discuss it beforehand. The title used here is the one on the title screen. As far as I can see, though, it's just "Newswipe", i.e iPlayer, BBC4, Charlie Brooker's Twitter page, imdb. That's all.

At first I thought you were challenging the validity of that redirect but see what you mean now. I fully support you and it hardly seems worthy of debate, in that we have the program's intertitle on the page already which is fairly authoritative evidence for what the title is. We are only interested in facts here, not what a particular editor chooses to call the show. CrispMuncher (talk) 12:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Newswipe with Charlie BrookerCharlie Brooker's Newswipe — Proposed by DotComCairney (talk · contribs) with the rationale: "Everybody calls it Charlie Brooker's Newswipe, even Charlie Brooker calls it 'Charlie Brooker's Newswipe'".[1] I'm neutral. Jafeluv (talk) 23:16, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Strongly oppose for the reasons stated above. There does not seem to be any real dispute as to what the show is called. The fact that everybody one particular editor knows calls it "Charlie Brooker's Newswipe" just means that everyone that editor knows is wrong. It seems pretty clear cut to me - the intertitle shown on the article page shows the correct title. That is also how it appears in the EPG and in TV listings: [2]. I can see how the error may arise, since it is simply following the pattern of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, but that is an error and does not alter what the show is called one iota.
