A question - why is it that, on the film infobox, you can type in only a certain amount of information? I have been trying to add more.AlbertSM19:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Heavenly Guide

I have removed the reference to Billy's Heavenly Guide being changed from a woman to a man. This is incorrect, as anyone who reads the cast list of the original production (on theInternet Broadway Database) can tell you. In recent productions, the guide may have been changed froma man to a woman, but in the originalCarousel,it was a man.AlbertSM(talk)00:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed one of the references to Alfred Newman. There is too much mention of the orchestrators, almost as if one of the posters had a special interest in "playing up" that angle.AlbertSM(talk)23:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Carousel (film)→Carousel (1956 film)– Partial disambiguation not justified.* Pppery *_{it has begun...}19:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose.Completely justified as the overwhelmingWP:primary topicamong films titledCarousel,averagingover 200 views per daythis year, compared to 8 for all 3 other films combined. Someone landing on this title almost certainly wants to read about this famous film, and there's a hatnote for the extremely rare reader who somehow winds up here by mistake.Station1(talk)01:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

  25:1 is actually rather low as partial disambiguation standards go (but not unheard of), even ignoringWP:PRIMARYFILM.* Pppery *_{it has begun...}03:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

• Support- This is close, numerically speaking. Certainly it's themostprimary topic, but it's not so clear-cut as to be an obvious justification for partial disambiguation, especially consideringWP:PRIMARYFILM.That said, the main reason I'm inclined to support the move is that including the year in the title is expected, clarifying, and useful, without being unduly distracting or unwieldy. Clear improvement to my eyes, subjectively, which tips the balance as concerns whether its sufficiently primary.Garnet Moss(talk)18:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Oppose– Let alone the ~19:1 combined pageview ratio,long term pageviewsshow that the pageviews for the other three films are practically nonexistent. This is pretty much a justifiedWP:PRIMARYPDABandWP:PRIMARYFILM.JohnCWiesenthal(talk)21:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose,the 1956 film is the primary topic, per the above comments.Randy Kryn(talk)03:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
• Support.While it is the very clear primary topic for films calledCarousel,it is still only partial disambiguation, as to disambiguate with "film" implies it's the only film calledCarousel.--Necrothesp(talk)16:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
