Talk:Murder Mysteries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Murder mysteries" is the generic desciption of a genre of writing and more well known for that instead of a title of a specific work. Don't you think this would be better handled as "Murder Mysteries (comic)" or "Neil Gaiman(sp?)'s Murder Mysteries"? Or at the very least some major disambiguation in the article?
- Firstly, "Murder Mysteries" and "murder mysteries" are two different things - remember, Wikipedia article titles are case-sensitive. Secondly, Wikipedia policy would call for an article on murder mysteries to be title in the singular: murder mystery, which again is something different from "Murder Mysteries". (And, as you can see from the fact that that's a live link, has been covered already.) That said, I've added a discreet disambiguation notice in case anybody does get confused. --Paul A 02:55, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Yes, capitalized and noncapitalized would be two different things in theory, but in practice putting the noncapitalized version takes you to this same article. Yes, policy is that an article about the genre would be in singular, but I don't think we should expect users of the wikipedia to know the policies and type things in to match the style of the policy. So that would leave a lot of people presumably finding this article instead of what they really wanted...

- ...but then your disambiguation notice takes care of it well enough. Thanks. DreamGuy 03:44, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
