That's fine, but we do not format credits in Wiki articles based on how they are listed graphically in the film. We do not repeat credits or delineate opening or closing credits. Cast list is just the names of the actors and the characters they play. Please stick to standard Wiki formatting. If you are not sure, look at some other film articles here.Greg Fasolino (talk) 15:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your attention to detail is appreciated and, continuing with the subject of detail, I assume you will not object, as long as none of the guidelines which you indicated is breached, to my repositioning names two through seven in the currently existing cast list. The new ordering will be in compliance with Sugar Hill's credits as seen here and here as well as with its listing in the authoritative American Film Institute Catalog.
I am also making a couple of adjustments in two of the cast listings — the name of the title character is listed in on-screen credits as Diana Hill, not as Diana "Sugar" Hill, thus, I am enclosing the nickname in brackets, Diana ["Sugar"] Hill, or perhaps, if you feel that the brackets make the quotes unnecessary, Diana [Sugar] Hill.
The other adjustment concerns cast member Charles P. Robinson who, in the currently existing version, is erroneously listed as Charles F. Robinson.
If there are further issues regarding the revisions I have just made, please let me know, thus allowing for discussion of alternatives. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 18:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, all that is fine. You inadvertently deleted the character name entirely, so I fixed it. Greg Fasolino (talk) 19:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I appreciate your help. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 20:28, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
