Talk:The Long, Hot Summer (TV series)

The Long Hot Summer TV series rename (no comma)

edit

(Copied Dec 15, 2017 from where I posted this on the talk page of User:Pinkadelica who renamed this article with a comma.)
Due to new information, I ask you to consider reversing your 2009 Wikipedia article title rename of the 1965-66 TV series The Long, Hot Summer from its original article name (no comma) of The Long Hot Summer. Since your 2009 edit, someone uploaded the episodes to Youtube and the title card on them definitely shows The Long Hot Summer without a comma. Photos of the same title card are also now available in a Google image search. As further evidence, the TV Guide cover of April 9, 1966 here with series star Roy Thinnes also has it spelled without a comma as The Long Hot Summer. The same authoratative TVGuide.com website refers to it with no comma here and here. The mostly user-generated IMDb site is not an entirely reliable source on Wikipedia, per WP:CITINGIMDB. The TV series people must have decided to go with the grammatically correct no comma version. When you made the 2009 edit, perhaps you did not have these facts, so please consider revisiting your edit and change back the article title. Add a mention in the intro that it is based on the film, which does have the comma. Currently, the one-sentence intro does not mention that. Thank you. 5Q5 (talk) 17:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
