Order of cast members

[edit]

I'm not totally familiar with what the accepted precedent is regarding if we go in alphabetical order of the character, actor, or in the order that they are credited. It would just be nice if it would stop changing back and forth three times a day; it's getting annoying. Jdavi333 (talk) 03:09, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jdavi333. Some films, as the present The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Gone with the Wind (film), Titanic (1997 film), have a "Casting" or sometimes "Cast" entry that tells the story of how and when each actor has been hired for which character. Some others (more numerous IMO), as Doctor Zhivago (film), Million Dollar Baby, The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Some Like It Hot, have a "Cast" entry that gives with sobriety and brevity the list of actors and characters, in the order that is (supposedly) felt by the public as the most appropriate; in case of doubt the list chosen is probably the one established by the film Director or Producer. I would prefer, should I have a say, the last case ("Cast" showing the actor-character list in the order the producer decided). Michel Merlin (talk) 17:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

v, v., vs

[edit]

In The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story as well as in American Crime Story, this title is written in different ways:

- The People v O. J. Simpson...

- The People v. O. J. Simpson...

- The People vs O. J. Simpson...

and maybe some others.

This, added with the different writings of "O. J. Simpson", "O.J. Simpson", "OJ. Simpson", "OJ Simpson", and I don't know how many others, make difficult to find or identify a film from others treating this affair under the same or a different POV, or another subject.

I would suggest to make a choice, for instance "vs", which is immediately identified and understood in all more or less Latin-based languages, as English, French, Italian, Spanish, and probably in most other languages as well, and which incidentally has the advantage of NOT bringing another dot inside a phrase.
