BTW, I don't know if anyone noticed, but according to the screen cap on the first page, the title's spelling should be:

"Ben-Hur: A Tale of The Christ" ("The" with a capital "T").

Good catch. I missed it and have contributed the change.

Now Dan...there's something that we can agree on. How about you concede may change now.

Your change wound up being correct but your argument was wrong. If you look back several pages ago you will notice that I said as much. The subtitle argument is what was correct and "A Tale of The Christ" is clearly a subtitle according to the rules.

Thanks Dan but we still have the sticky Edition being "1925 Version" that you are voting no to being removed. BTW, I stand by my reasoning for the subtitle change.

I guess you can go vote against my change then. I still feel the year belongs because there were multiple edits of this film released to the theaters and at least two of those variations are in the db.

Yes, but the rules tell us not to use the capitalisation from the cover.

I am entering the religious discussion!!

In this instance I would disagree. The title is referring to, IMHO, a name, where that name is "The Christ".
In Christianity, we always refer to Him with capitalisations for everything like "The Lord" etc. Therefore, I would say that for this title it should be "Ben-Hur: A Tale of The Christ"



How's that for sparking a debate?

Quote:
Caroline's right - when I was taught english in school I was taught that when referring to God or Jesus, you would always capitalise, so Him instead of him, or The Son instead of the son, etc..
I don't know if other religions do the same?

I agree with your change but if mine is accepted to remove the Edition: 1925 Version, then I cannot support yours because it would put it back. Let's see how mine goes, it should be resolved one way or the other within about 24 hours. If mine is declined, I will vote for yours.

Don't forget, yours has a typo in it.

Well some of your has been pretty insulting as well.

"I still have hope that reason will prevail." For example

Whose sense of reason, YOURS is the only one that counts, I think NOT. I personally think you are being completely irrational. The only thing i have seen you say that does make sense is relative to the Rules. but you also need to recognize that the Rules are addressing a moving target, due to things that we learn that were not considered, tricks Holywood plays on us and so on and this will always be true.
