Really copyrighted?

[edit]

Is it really copyrighted still? I can't find any evidence of this, but I didn't look hard. No visible copyright notice that I can see.

It's not mentioned in that article, not sure it should be mentioned in this one. Are there any sources indicating its importance in the film? – Reidgreg (talk) 21:09, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • What a fun read! The article was nominated one day after the GA. Article is long enough. As evident by the GA status, the article is well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free. Source checks out and quid pro quo is done. I like the 80% statistic but I love the absurdity of the National Film Registry, especially how the details are organized in Alt2 ("a one-minute ad?"), so I suggest that one. Panini! 🥪 18:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Italics

[edit]

It doesn't feel like this should be italicized. Seems to fit the definition of WP:MINORWORK more. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@InfiniteNexus: It seems to me that the article subject is a short film, and short films get italics (MOS:ITALICTITLE). It is a standalone work and not part of a larger work. Although, perhaps its alternate title – Technicolor Refreshment Trailer No. 1 – the No. 1 could suggest that it is part of a series and should then be styled in double quotes. I have seen this where an advertising campaign will get italics while individual ads for the campaign (sometimes for different media) will get double quotes. However, other possible titles in a hypothetical Technicolor Refreshment Trailer series may no longer exist, and sources generally treat Let's All Go to the Lobby on its own. Nothing I've read discusses it as part of a series. The next-best known film of this type would be another of Fleischer's, a later, longer one used at intermission in drive-ins (several minutes long with a countdown to the next film.) – Reidgreg (talk) 07:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm ... I guess it's debatable whether an advertisement/commercial would be classified as a short film (a major work) or a video (a minor work). InfiniteNexus (talk) 08:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
