The Australian profile for the Blu-ray release of the film Who Was That Lady has this banner which could be entered as an edition:



In the current profile this edition is entered as Hollywood - Gold - Series. Along with several other changes i wanted to change it into Hollywood-Gold-Series and got a no vote for it saying all other profiles for this series of titles are listed under Hollywood - Gold - Series.
So I can see why you would want to keep the existing spelling as a wish for consistency, but I can't see the logic behind this spelling.
The space between the single words and the hyphens is as big as the space between every single letter.
Following this formatting, the edition should either be entered as H O L L Y W O O D - G O L D - S E R I E S (which looks stupid and makes no sense) or as I suggested as Hollywood-Gold-Series.
But what does speak for Hollywood - Gold - Series with spaces only between the hyphens and the words? For me, that makes no sense?

What do you think? How should this be entered?

Unless you plan to change all of them you should leave this one alone, IMO.  I seem to recall Ken saying that consistency in the online database is important to him, and the online database is his, not ours.

If you can get them all changed then I think that makes sense.

From the photo - you are correct it should be Hollywood-Gold-Series, but it seems in the past few years (since Ken's been awol). it is mob rules - shut up and do it the way it's been done for other profiles (even if it is wrong). And if you get a no vote, most likely it will be declined. The screeners seem to have thrown the rules away also.

and why do people think you are responsible for for fixing the other profiles that are wrong?

I personally would ignore the hyphens.

Same - I have a few of these releases and have that in my local.

If we treat Edition name as a title then the size of the letters or the spacing between the letters in EACH word is irrelevant.

If we treat the Edition name as a sentence then it may be subject to writing rules and re-formatted.

I believe the Edition name is a title not a sentence.

Also, the Edition name in question is in Times New Roman font and the hyphen is definitely of a larger font size than the letters (check the hyphen height with respect to D and G in Times New Roman font).  So maybe the spaces surrounding the hyphen are larger as well. The assumption all spaces are equal is questioned as there may be some spaces more equal than others.

I have changed my mind, and agree with that.

As always when there's no clear right answer or at least no consensus: Do it how you want locally and lock the field.
