add redirect to this article for The Tuesday Club Murders?[edit]

Could someone (who knows how to do it) have The Tuesday Club Murders, the American title, redirect to this article? The audiobook by The Audio Partners uses this title. I found this article only by the chance of the first short story having the same title, using Google search to find this article. --Prairieplant (talk) 16:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Receive an adaptation" vs "Adapted"[edit]

Hi, I understand why you made your edit [1] to re-write "receive an adaptation" to "adapted". I also felt that "receive an adaptation" is quite odd phrasing at the time when I wrote it, but I was trying to emphasize that it's a live-action adaptation, to exclude animated adaptation. I was not able to think of a way to phrase it using the word "adapted" and include the adjective "live-action". The problem now is that the text "Three of these short stories have been adapted for television" as you have written it is now incorrect - a total of five of the stories (not three) were adapted for television - 2 live-action, 2 animated, and 1 both live-action and animated. Do you see the issue and why I worded it this way - and do you have any suggestion of compromise wording? I would be happy to discuss. Kidburla (talk) 14:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kidburla I think it is not necessary to say live action. What is television if it is not live action? Mention anime or animation when it is not real actors on the screen, I think that is clear, to indicate animation, and the distinction you want to make. I moved this to the talk page of The Thirteen Problems as that is the topic. I just did a revision that removes the subheadings and corrects the count of stories adapted. Will that do?

I did not put the citation needed flag, but some inline citation is still needed for the Japanese programs. Perhaps there is a citation that you can take from that Wikipedia article, if it has a citation to share. --Prairieplant (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prairieplant your edit looks great; thank you so much for your time to copyedit this! As for the Japanese citations from the article for the TV series, those citations are in Japanese language, and unfortunately I don't speak that language so can't extract the specific part which relates to this particular adaptation.

Google translate works well for Japanese to English. Cut and paste to find the right parts. I have done this in other article where editors left I translated Japanese or Chinese. - - Prairieplant (talk) 03:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
