RFC on aligning role fields with mos filmcast guidelines

Hi,

According to MOS:FILMCAST, common nouns within roles should not be capitalised to distinguish between character names and job descriptions. Currently, the use of sentence case introduces ambiguity for readers; for instance, it does not clarify whether 'Joker' refers to a character name or if 'Joker' describes his job when no character name is provided. I encourage you to refer to my related discussion with the user's talk. Therefore, I recommend adopting lowercase for common nouns in the Role field to ensure alignment with MOS:FILMCAST.

@Anoopspeaks: Could you give an example of an article where this introduces ambiguity? jlwoodwa (talk) 15:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Anoopspeaks: I'm sorry, I don't see which of those roles is ambiguous. Could you be more specific? jlwoodwa (talk) 16:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Jlwoodwa In the filmography, his two character names, Monster T and The Gunsmith, are actual names in the movie, while The Dagger refers only to a dagger, not a character name. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 17:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Vincent Moon

Could someone take a look at Vincent Moon? It was tagged with {{COI}} back in 2017, but a new account showed a few months back and began working on it. There seems to have been a far amount of puffery, MOS problems and other things added by this account; so, it's quite tempting to simply revert back to last version prior to their showing up. However, that could be a bit bitey which is why I'm seeking input from others before jumping myself. FWIW, I only came across the article while trying to sort through some of the images recently added to it, but it appears to have gotten rather bloated. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:13, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Filmographies and Titles for Multi-country filmakers

I've recently been expanding Jesús Franco filmography to flesh it out with some sources. One issue that has come up is that as Franco has directed several films whose production remains a bit hazy, how should we handle some film titles? One film titled Kiss Me Killer had that English title release on a Dutch home video. The film does not appear to have have a native English-language release, but has two other titles its known by from theatrical releases in France and Italy. WP:NCFF has good standards to follow for when we have films in an article, but as many of these works will not like be getting an article any time soon, what is the best method for titling films like this?

I see that there is Eiji Tsuburaya filmography which has the titles presented in different languages. I'm not crazy about the jumping back and forth between tables to get the information, but this presents further difficulty as Franco worked all around Europe, so titles will not just be Spanish for example. Any thoughts on a solution?
