Talk:Rose-Marie

Moving page

This article was titled "Rose-Marie". The only justification for the hyphen I could see was for disambiguation - I have never seen the hyphen used in this title in any other context. Does it need a disambiguation page? In any case the current title seem sufficiently unambiguous (disambiguated?). Soundofmusicals 09:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Forgive this years-later response. I've seen both variations (with and without the hyphen). It's hard to say which is "correct" for something of that vintage because people weren't as careful with their disposable entertainment then. I think it's best to try to follow primary sources the authors are likely to have had their hands on: published scripts, scores, sheet music and original programs.

Here we clearly have original sheet music that uses the hyphen. Checking a few reference books, historians Stephen Suskin, Ken Bloom and Stanley Green have all spelled it that way. So I propose switching the title of the article back to Rose-Marie. --Joseph Hewes (talk) 03:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't care, but if you do move the title, please be sure to fix all the links throughout Wikipedia. That will be a lot of work. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Page Title

Should this page still be titled Rose Marie (operetta) even though it's been transferred to musical theatre domain? I do not have any really firm convictions either way. MarianKroy (talk) 16:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Subtitle

No I don't mean captions! My deceased mother's music copy - somewhere in my attic - says on the cover page "Rose Marie, or The Maid of the Mounties". I believe most shows had similar subtitles at that time, but Google finds no references to this phrase. (I cannot remember whether there is a hyphen.) Shannock9 (talk) 15:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
