Talk:The Hour of the Pig

"Dark Ages"

Regarding this sentence, moved here:

the attitudes of a society caught between the superstition of the Dark Ages and the enlightenment of the Renaissance.

This is utter hogwash that looks lifted off the pages of a Hollywood script writers publicity blurb. There were no "Dark Ages" (see the article), and if anything, the Renaissance was a flowering of superstition and magic that surpasses the Middle Ages, most of the myths of that sort are actually originated from the 14th -> 16th centuries. -- 71.191.47.120 00:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Move?

I support the move from "The Advocate" to "The Hour of the Pig"by Nick Cooper because:-
a) HotP was a British production and was originally released here in 1993
b) Advocate was a bowlderized version of the film produced for an American audience
c) The IMDb link goes to HotP and a search there for Advocate redirects to HotP, suggesting HotP is the common name

I only placed it under "The Advocate" because that was the version I was familiar with (although I know it was originally released as "The Hour of the Pig"). I don't really care what name it goes under. You're probably right about the name. Johnny M (talk) 00:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Another move

This was moved to "The Hour of the Pig" without any explanation; why? It is a film; what's the problem? I've moved it back to await a reason being given. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I requested the move (through a {{db-move}} tag at The Hour of the Pig) because the disambiguating "(film)" isn't necessary. I didn't think it would be controversial, so apologies for not discussing it beforehand.

From Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films): "When there is no risk of ambiguity or confusion with an existing Wikipedia article, let the title of the article be the same as the title of the film." There are no other articles on subjects called "The Hour of the Pig" so the title is unambiguous. Any particular reason you feel the "(film)" is needed? –CapitalLetterBeginning (talk) 11:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Ahh! Fair enough, I was probably jumping with both feet. No, there was no particular reason to keep "(film)" in the title; it's just that's the way it was, and I didn't see the need to change. But, (checking with IMDb) there doesn't seem to be a book involved, so I've no huge objection to a move if you feel it neccessary. Moonraker12 (talk) 12:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

PS How do you undo a move? I tried to revert it before, but nothing happened. Does it have to be a full move, always? Moonraker12 (talk) 12:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Yep, you have to use "Move" again. –CapitalLetterBeginning (talk) 12:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
