Talk:OMG – Oh My God!

Edit request on 8 October 2012

"Muslims know me as Allah" should be changed to "Muslims call me a Prophet". Saying this because I recently saw the movie & even the subtitles said "prophet". MJSpice4u (talk) 23:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Done only because there have been no objections after more than 24 hours. The plot section of this article is way too long and needs to be trimmed down, but this change doesn't affect that in a positive or negative way. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:21, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Based on:

The infobox says that film is based on an Australian film whereas it only has similarities withe the aforesaid film. It is actually based on a Gujarati play. I am thus making the edit. Please discuss before reverting. Abhinavdhere (talk) 07:26, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 9 October 2012

"Muslims know me as Allah" should be changed to "Muslims know me as a Prophet". The actor distinctly says "payghumber" which means "Prophet" in Urdu. 85.154.81.230 (talk) 16:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Not done: only because it is redundant with the above request. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:45, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Page title

The page was moved without discussion.---zeeyanketu ^{talk to me} 18:46, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

What is there to discuss? The exclamation mark comes after "Oh My God" -- not after "OMG". It's uncontroversial. See the title screen[1] and the poster.[2]

I've protected the article for 3 days while you figure this out. The second that one person reverts a move, no one should ever move the article a third time. Moving articles repeatedly is confusing and disruptive. By definition, as soon as someone reverts, the move is "controversial". So discuss the matter now. It should be very very easy: what do reliable sources call it? What is it officially called in the credits of the movie? Don't use the title shot of the movie, because it can be hard to interpret what it means when there are two lines--are those a subtitle? A continuation of the title? etc. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, the best way to change the title is to go through "request for move" process where editors discuss on the page title rather than reverting each others' edits. Btw, IMDB and the official poster don't have the semi-colon. Torreslfchero (talk) 12:42, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Posters don't use colons. But in writing, when there are two parts to a title, you split them with a colon, as you will see if you check out all the other millions of titles that have a subtitle. Film Fan (talk) 18:00, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

What is the need to change the title and i prefer previous one.---zeeyanketu ^{talk to me} 18:28, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

WP:JDLI. Film Fan (talk) 18:47, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

This is a talk page dear.Whats wrong with suggestion.?---zeeyanketu ^{talk to me} 19:03, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Filmfan, do you give some specific reason (not only pointing to WP:JDLI) why you moved the page without discussing it here? Such "big moves" may need some discussion before taking action. Torreslfchero (talk) 19:14, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

The fact that that the old title was incorrectly punctuated, and now it's right... which is undeniable, and therefore uncontroversial, and therefore didn't need to be discussed. The only problem we have is that zeeyanketu just doesn't like it. Film Fan (talk) 20:12, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Who are you to decide everything.I agree that it is uncontroversial but your history said you have been controversial and your justifications are poor.---zeeyanketu ^{talk to me} 20:19, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah... nice response. Film Fan (talk) 21:29, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for my words.I didnt mean it but title name would be remained as earlier.---zeeyanketu ^{talk to me} 22:00, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

The title should be based on the reliable sources. A majority of the sources seem to not use any punctuation between them, although the film is officially registered in Britain (here as "OMG - OH MY GOD!". In any case, the exclamation point does not seem to be placed in front of OMG. Ωphois 00:11, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Film Fan, but Zeeyanketu is not wrong, either. It was a big and controversial move. I insist that Filmfan should move pages by discussing in the talk page.----Plea$ant 1623 ✉ 16:42, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Uncontroversial moves do not have to be discussed. It was a simple, undeniable correction. Film Fan (talk) 16:59, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

The article wasn't meant to be moved, anyway. The previous title was incorrectly punctuated, but no one would have bothered.----Plea$ant 1623 ✉ 18:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Erm...... No. Film Fan (talk) 21:38, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean by no?----Plea$ant 1623 ✉ 12:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

New Book on OMG - Re answering the questions

Please add the below content as a section or under References.

---

Though the movie conveys some good, logical and reasonable observations regarding the commercialization of religion and the misuse of it by godmen, it errs in the direction of blanket generalization probably because of its own ignorance.

The new book entitled “Oh My God! Re answering the questions” by Chaitanya Charan Das presented logically and systematically, carefully prevents the rejection of all of religion in the name of some of these observations. At the same time it answers the wrongly answered or otherwise unanswered questions of the movie in particular and of the people in general. Hence the subtitle: re-answering the questions Here is the kindle version of the book - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BJQY1FE

The book is now freely available as a pdf file http://www.thespiritualscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/OMG_book.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srivatspp (talk • contribs) 12:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
