Why is the name given as “Wall-E”?

The opening phrase “WALL-E, promoted with an interpunct as WALL·E,” makes it seem like the hyphenated version is the standard, and the interpunct is optional and lesser. As the film is firmly promoted, titled, and indeed the main character is actually on-screen labelled “WALL•E”, surely that is the correct and preferred title, and the hyphenated version should be downgraded to a ‘sometimes written as “WALL-E”’…?

Themes

I'm relatively new to this but feel there are several major "themes" that have been omitted; Importantly - technological determinism - its is perhaps a bit one sided to include the quote about technology saving mankind when there is a counter argument that it may be anti technology. Also, within the context of the population resource debate - it arguably has a pro-marxist, pro malthusian message. That isn't a joke, I've just written a dissertation on it. Also the lifeboat / ark section seems to be more resonant with Garrett Hardins "lifeboat ethics".

The section on themes seems a little too blunt for me, although well written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.8.34 (talk) 22:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Would it be worth noteing

That You can sync up wall-e with Pink Floyds The Wall , just like dark side of the moon and wizard of oz? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poohman0 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Plot section: Victim of disinformation campaign (it's wrong in places)

I am having a ball watching this movie - WALL-E - for the first time; it's wonderful! Since there are some bad spots on my DVD, I decided to read about the plot here on Wikipedia (and also on IMDb) to fill in the gaps. As I was reading the plot, it became obvious that someone has been messing with this page in a negative way; the plot, as currently described, is revisionist: it is inaccurate in at least one instance that I know of (so far). It says: ' WALL-E enters the pod before it launches, retrieves the plant, and escapes unharmed before the pod explodes. He then reconciles with EVE, celebrating with a dance outside the Axiom.

If you've seen WALL-E, then you know this is not what went down; in the movie, WALL-E is jettisoned into space in a pod that self-destructs. I hope someone fixes it.
