"Presented by" credit

The phrase "presented by" credit appears three times in wikipedia. Here, The Man with the Iron Fists and Jerry Perenchio. The other two articles put "presented by" in quotation marks. Their are also grammatical issues involved. I ask Lugnuts to please reconsider his decision to remove the quotation marks. I will start a RFC if necessary. - Fantr (talk) 18:54, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Lugnuts undid the quotation marks. I reverted him claiming "quotation marks are necessary otherwise people may wonder what 'presented by credit' means and question if the sentence is correct or even complete." Lugnuts re-reverted me claiming "no they wont". - Fantr (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Lugnuts is blocked for 36 hours effective 3 February 2013 at 16:28. Please give him sufficient opportunity to respond in this thread. Thanks. - Fantr (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I think the quotation marks help define the type of credit. Otherwise, the sentence does not appear smooth. Alternately, maybe one could also say produced-by. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

"Produced by" won't work because Saltzman does not have a producer credit. - Fantr (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Sigh, brain fart. I meant "presented by" or presented-by. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Presented-by doesn't look right. I prefer to be consistent with other wikipedia articles. Further, "presented by" in quotation marks is standard. I cite the following RS works where the phrase appears in quotes when appearing before the word credit:

This is a random international sampling. Numerous other legal books, trade industry publications and media articles use quotation marks in this context. - Fantr (talk) 21:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Quotation marks seem proper, then. I endorse that approach. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:24, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I want to wait for Lugnuts to return. - Fantr (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
