[untitled] edit

I reckon I've added enough entries for this to qualify as WP:LISTCRUFT. Discuss. jnestorius(talk) 02:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Leon/The Professional edit

Is Leon/The Professional really suitable for this list? The Professional is a different cut from Leon and both versions are available in the US.. although only The Professional was released in US theaters. Largely I believe to remove the.. personal interactions between Leon and the young Matilda in the US which is not as liberal in regards to such matters.

And Harry Potter? edit

What about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which both the novel and the movie were renamed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, for the US release?? --201.37.196.246 (talk) 01:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Harry Potter has been on the list since it was created. The film has been taken off because it can be mentioned with the book, but the book is there and was there on 13 June 2010. McLerristarr | Mclay1 13:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
There are several precisely labelled tables.
What is the value in saving a handful of bytes by doubling up on Potter?

I agree that Harry Potter should appear twice. McLerristarr | Mclay1 09:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ordering? edit

Are these tables intended to follow any particular order, or were the items thrown up in the air and reassembled randomly, like a famous Beatles song? Varlaam (talk) 18:00, 20 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don't think they've all been alphabetised yet. I alphabetised some of them, apparently by their original title, although I'm not sure that was the best idea. McLerristarr | Mclay1 09:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've alphabetised the 'Literature' section by original title, as well as added some more books, such as by P. G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. JustPotteringAround (talk) 03:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

The Man from Snowy River II edit

Somebody add this, as I'm busy editing other stuff right now and I just happened to stumble upon this. The film (an Australian film) was retitled Return to Snowy River for the US release and The Untamed for the UK release. Thanks, JustPotteringAround (talk) 02:13, 27 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

King James Version (Authorized Version) of the Bible edit

The King James Version is an extremely influential translation of the Bible. In the United States, it is usually called the "King James Version". But I think in Britain, it is more often called the "Authorized Version". If I'm correct, and if this can be adequately referenced, it belongs on this "List of works with different titles."

Agatha Christie edit

I assume the British titles are all marked as the original because they were the (very British) Christie's intended titles and not because of actual publication timing as several of them were actually first published in the US. To be clear, I am NOT advocating a change to this notation but am simply noting the reasoning here on the talk page in case anyone becomes confused.--Khajidha (talk) 11:18, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Australia edit

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to use a footnote [a] to indicate when Australia follows the US title, just as we now have a footnote [c] for when Canada follows the UK title? --Khajidha (talk) 15:52, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Marathon vs Snickers outside US/UK edit

In the lead:

"Unless otherwise noted, UK titles are also used in most other countries, with the exception of Canada."

As such, this row:

Type of work UK title US title Notes
Food Marathon Snickers Standardised to Snickers name in 1990.

is indicating that the bar generally known as Marathon outside the US and Canada. This is at odds with the information on Snickers, which picks out the British Isles as being where it was known as Marathon until 1990. Furthermore, I remember Marathon wrappers stating "Internationally known as SNICKERS", implying that the name Snickers was used in most countries where the bar is sold.

I'd like to set the record straight and amend the entry accordingly, but can anyone find a good source? — Smjg (talk) 14:33, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

American The Fast Show? edit

The creator of the video "7 TV Shows With Very Different Titles in Britain and America " theorizes near the end that the American show doesn't exist. It's been listed since the article creation, and the article creator has been blocked since 2015 and likely no longer has anything to do with WP. Mapsax (talk) 00:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
