Different Roman alphabet spellings for films

I think we need a universal consensus again. We need a permanent one time practice solution.
Producers, distributors, Music right holders, articles may use their own "interpretations". What's the final verdict for wikipedia?-- Dravidian  Hero  13:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

See I'm very particular and too much involved with this article since months. Until the film was in discussions in media and all, when posters weren't out, the most used was Mariyaan. Since the English official poster release on Sony Music South's page claimed Maryan. Even audio CD's have claimed it Maryan. The trailer however claims Mariyan but the use of Mariyaan is nearly no where.

recent rev

Johannes, please explain your edit in detail here. I can't see what you call "trivia." Thanks.-- Dravidian  Hero  09:37, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I will explain all my edits here. Look and learn folks:

• "As per reports of 18 August 2012, the song "Nenjae Ezhu" crooned by the music composer himself, was finalized after being shot in one of the oldest off coastal deserts of the world featuring the leading duo"

this sentence has nothing to do with the music, it belongs into filming section. Done.

• "The lyricist Kutti Revathi was brought on board two and a half years ago for the song by the film director. On penning the lyrics for "Nenjae Ezhu" she quoted, "Both of them (Bharat Bala & A.R. Rahman) were very clear that it should be a meaningful song. If the song needed two verses, I wrote eight, and Rahman was able to pick the lines that would work. Neither of them wanted words that we have all already heard"

1) she was a poet before she was brought on board (not the same as lyricist!) 2) two and years ago is WP:REALTIME, avoid! 3) Instead of copy-pasting the whole paragraph, reword it and make it short and crisp. I changed it to: "she intended to convey a positive message to young people. She added that Rahman picked the lines, who wanted to avoid words "that we all have already heard"" - the content is the same but text is shorter (I'd have changed the last part too, but I couldn't think of a good paraphrase at that moment). That's called copyediting!

• Additionally, the words also appeared in the promos of song "Nenjae Ezhu""

WP:OR.

• "In the end of January 2013, singer Velmurugan had recorded a song for the background score of the film"

same as above: I shortened this sentence by removing redundant words. He has sung a song, so we know he's obviously a singer, no need to emphasize again!

• "The first teaser of the film made it evident that the audio rights were bagged by Sony Music."

1) This is an example for unneeded trivia. Absolutely unneeded. It does not give any important information that hasn't already been covered in the infobox and 2) "made it evident" is WP:OPED, also WP:OR

• "In an interview with Times of India, the film director claimed that the track "Kadal Raasa Naan" was already recorded but Rahman insisted on re-recording it with a singer who could impart more emotions with an earthy voice to the song and hence, opted for Yuvan Shankar Raja. The song was attributed as a rustic yet character driven number."

just some little rewording, changed the past tense and the last line, nothing else.

• "The song was re-recorded on 25 April 2013 in Chennai during wee hours"

during wee hours. Trivia. Uninteresting. Unneeded.

• "The online pre-booking of the soundtrack album opened up on Flipkart on 2 May 2013 and it revealed only names of all the seven tracks."

The source just leads to Maryan's flipkart site, so why this particular line? Redundant. Also "it revealed" is editor's opinion. Avoid!

• "It was aired first on Radio Mirchi stations of Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Kerala at 0900 hrs IST"

So it was aired on all Radio Mirchi stations. Dot. What's with the addition of the time, height of trivia nonsense!

• Then I removed all whitespace and put a space where needed (A.R. Rahman - here is a space needed between "A." and "R."!), removed the wikilink to the same page (| Longtype = to Maryan), removed an unnotable source (fulloncinema.com), removed the zeroes from the lenghts because zeroes at the beginning are worthless and hence redundant. So is there still some doubt? You people should actually thank me for improving this article's quality. This is really not fair! Johannes003 (talk) 11:18, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Seems like reasonable changes. But why did you remove the music reception header?-- Dravidian  Hero  12:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Move protection

I have just move-protected the article due to repeated naming of the article without discussion. If anyone would like to change the title of the article, please use a requested move. Thanks. — Mr. Stradivarius 11:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
