Title should be "Solar Striker"[edit]

Every reference to this game that I've seen refers to this as "Solar Striker" as two words with a space. Minimal complaint but this page should be moved from "SolarStriker" to "Solar Striker". It could be worth noting in the prose that it is simply stylized as one word, but any reference to it in text should be written as two words. Bchill53 (talk) 17:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all current references to the title in this page's text refer to it as "Solar Striker", so only the Wikipedia page name is incorrect. I understand why someone placed it here, but it is just stylization. If this game was more well-known or important, it would likely have been moved by now. I'll try to move it once I figure out how to do that.. Bchill53 (talk) 18:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SolarStriker → Solar Striker – The title is "Solar Striker" and is referred to as that throughout the text. "SolarStriker" is just a stylization of the title and should not be the name for the Wikipedia page. Thank you. Bchill53 (talk) 18:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TarkusAB: Sorry to bug you, but I figure you know your stuff. :) Am I going about this the correct way? Or do I need to bring in others in the community to gather a consensus about this first? I'm not sure who to ask if that's the case.. Thanks for the help. Bchill53 (talk) 17:45, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes you are going about this right. The tags you placed will list the move request with other move discussions, so those interested can participate. If you feel you are not getting the input you need from VG regulars, you can always post at WT:VG requesting more input, but I do not think that is necessary here. I support a move. The policy we use to determine article names is WP:COMMONNAME which suggests to use the name sources most commonly use when referring to the work. I searched for "Solar Striker" and "SolarStriker" on the WP:VG/LRS custom Google search, and "Solar Striker" was the more common spelling. TarkusAB^talk 19:15, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - @TarkusAB: Okay, thank you for clarifying everything. :) Bchill53 (talk) 17:06, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Release year[edit]

Hiya, question about the game's release year. It was officially released in 1990 but for some reason in the start menu it says 1989. Is that some sort of mistake?--158.174.44.11 (talk) 05:23, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
