I have added a page to edit movie and tv titles and descriptions. You can click 'Edit item' on a movie page.

I will be monitoring and may switch to a moderated system if there are problems or require certain number of points.

If this goes well I will extend to other areas and more than just titles and descriptions.

I am keeping a record of all changes made, so old versions are not lost.

If you edit an item with a ' mark in it everything after it doesn't show up in the edit box.

Plus, I get this after editing it:

A critical error has occured (89.242.97.175)

This error has been logged and will be dealt with asap.

what's proper etique for non-english film titles?

I suggest first put foreign title, then in brackets Internation English title, if applicable. any thoughts on that?

example:
www.listal.com/viewproduct/movies/25503

p.s. I noticed when i Edit, it says Title (English), and the Title as released. The Title as released had the czech name, but it doesnt show up anywhere.

about tampering, I find uploading pictures to be pretty decent on here, we seem to have a good community. But what about putting in a system right away to plan for future trouble makers, that you have to add minimum number of items to your categories, or maybe reach a certain number of listal points, before you can add/edit photos and titles and descriptions? That might prevent people from making an random account and tampering with the sytem, while still keeping it self-policed and open like it is now.

The title should be the english title, the 'as released' should be the title as it was released (original language). This is not displayed but it will be, it will also be included in movie search.

e.g. :
Title : The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Title (As released) : Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il


I will probably add some sort of minimum as you say like 500 points.

Ok, i'll stick to ENGLISH and AS RELEASED as you say, but it would be nice to see both titles soon on there, from a search perspective i.e. you could search a movie by either its foreign or english title.

Could we have the option of adding an alternative title too? The example for me is this: www.listal.com/viewproduct/movies/19232

The English title is "The Triplets of Belleville", and the original title is "Triplettes de Belleville, Les", but on UK release it was titled "Belleville Rendez-Vous" and I would really like to add it somewhere.

I have a few others in my collection like that too.

I want to keep it simple for now, if I add that I will have to add options to add different titles for other countries as well. I realize it's not perfect but in most cases people should be able to find the movie they are looking for.

The search now includes the original title and this is also displayed on the item page.

Ok then. The addition of this option is a great improvement, so I'm happy enough with it at the time being. :)

There is one more little bug with the new update (a mere cosmetic detail though).

The title of a page with the original title in brackets appears with coding around the original title (Can't type it out because it won't show up).
