Mysterious Cities of Gold titles[edit]

Stop deleting the US titles. All websites listing this show use the US names for episodes as they were shown in the US. Wikipedia English is a US website and therefore we go by the US titles. If you want to list their Japanese titles fine, but the US titles take precedence. Besides you don't even indicate a source to where you get your information so how reliable are you?

I understand what you're saying, but I originally made this episode article here on the English Wikipedia, and I got the titles from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) which may or may not be 100% accurate, but it's the site that most of the Wikipedia television show articles that list episodes uses as a reference, so I followed suit. In the US this show aired on the Nickelodeon cable network and these titles were used in the TV Guides. This also seems to be the reference for the titles on other television show sites TV.com, TVrage, Yahoo! etc.

Even though the American titles are different than what is used elsewhere, I think they should be included for refernce. Being that the English Wikipedia is an American site (US English terms and spelling take precedence here), it's another argument for incuding the American titles. I don't see why using both would be a problem, all your Romaji (English translated) titles are still up there, and both can be used since the article template has English Title: Romaji Title: Kanji Title: etc, and all can be used for these purposes.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue over a kids TV show as I have better things to do - so if you disagree then maybe you should ask for peer consensus on what should be there and what shouldn't - third party input. If anyone else cares, they'll chime in and give input on how they think things should be. In my opinion such things take time, we might not get a response, but really - why can't we use both?
