Spelling of Frank Wolff's name
edit@PatTheMoron: you keep changing the spelling of Frank Wolff's name to Frank Wolf. What's your source for this change? The Frank Wolff (actor) Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about Wolff's name having an alternative spelling. Strawberry4Ever (talk) 20:15, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- The Italian/American posters (including the one used on the film's article) name him as such, and his name is also spelt with one 'f' in the film credits themselves. From what it seems, this was the only time in his career that his name was spelt in this manner. PatTheMoron (talk) 22:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- In that case maybe he should be listed as "Frank Wolff (credited as Frank Wolf)". I couldn't read his name on the poster shown in the article, but after clicking on the poster I do see the name Frank Wolf. Is there a book or website which mentions the Frank Wolff / Frank Wolf confusion? If not you could at least add a citation for the film credits using

Directed by Luigi Vanzi / Vance Lewis
editAccording to the lede sentence the movie was directed by Luigi Vanzi, but PatTheMoron keeps changing the info box to say it was directed by Vance Lewis, with a Wikilink to Luigi Vanzi. The Luigi Vanzi article says that Vanzi was sometimes known as Vance Lewis, as he apparently was for this movie. Pat, what's wrong with my solution of saying the movie was directed by "Luigi Vanzi as Vance Lewis"? That way the reader sees both names without having to click on or hover over the name to see the Wikilink. The name should be consistent between the lede sentence and the infobox.

- Strawberry4Ever, I was under the impression that, if a person has a Wiki article but are credited under a different name in a movie or TV show, you credit them by their stage name in the infobox of the work but refer to them by their real name in the article itself. See here: The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular and Another Simpsons Clip Show. As a side note, for the other Stranger movies, Vanzi is currently credited as Vance Lewis in the infobox.
