It's simple, terry. The previous Contributions should not have been accepted. Per Hal9G, it's not a Rule until it is in the Rules, and the Forums at no level are Rules, now I have noted that hal is very convenient in this comment when it suits him he applies it vigorously, when it doesn't suit him he won't. The only person that can do this is Ken via a Rules change or addition.

Aren't Ken and Gerri the final say on what should and shouldn't be accepted?  If they accepted it, who are you to decide that it was wrong to do so? 

I'm confused here - where exactly are these quotes going?

In the title field.

You're kidding me? Somebody's entered Mister Roberts in the database as "Mister Roberts" ?
That's just going too far - I have loads of films, mostly older ones, that have quotes around the title on the film, but I didn't think anyone seriously ever thought that they were part of the title!
Of course they should be removed, and I'd really like to know the people's reasons for voting no on their removal.

Nope, not kidding you.  I will give you three guesses as to who that somebody is but you will only need 1.

Ask and ye shall receive:

It's not in the Rules til it;s in the Rules and the Forums are irrelevant

no no no no no! the quotes are a part of the title.

The quotes are definitely part of the title. I agree however theres little value. However, I haven't checked the actual film to see if there the same.

Well you could add it to your collection and look, but if adding by title you won't find it under Mister Rogers. You will have to look for it under "Mister Rogers" (or have the substring filter on). 

Ahem, that would be "Mister Roberts". I don't think he wants to be your neighbor though

Yep, fine by me too

In relation to titles, the rules state:

"Title
Use the title from the film's credits.

Never add distinguishing factors to the title (such as "Widescreen" or "Special Edition"). Use the Edition field for these.
Check capitalization of the title.
For English titles do not capitalize joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc. unless they are the first, last or only word in of the title. "Lord of the Rings" is correctly capitalized. "Lord Of The Rings" is not. "The Matrix Reloaded" is correctly capitalized. "The matrix reloaded" is not.
For non-English titles, use capitalization rules common to the language of the title “Tout va bien” is correctly capitalized. “Tout Va Bien” is not
If the title appears in multiple languages, use the title that matches the language of the locality and do not include an alternate title ( for instance in another language).
Episode descriptors are part of the title; separate them with a colon and space; e.g. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". For multiple descriptors, use a colon and space for each break, e.g. "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace".
For music and stage performance DVDs, use the performer or group name followed by the DVD title, separated with a colon and space. For example: "U2: Rattle and Hum", "Ellen Degeneres: The Begining".
Annual DVDs such WWE or NFL Films titles if the year is included it is part of the title and should not be included in the Descriptor field. For Example Title: Year.
The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the Front Cover; for example Alien Quadrilogy. "

It doesn't say anything in the rules about using quotation marks. I have bolded the use of quotation marks in the rule. No one would suggest that those titles should be recorded with quotation marks in the online database.

The rule says Use the title from the film's credits.. In my view, and that of many others, that means use the film credits but that the quotation marks are punctuation used to highlight the title and are not part of the title.

A rule change stating that users should not use quotation marks would make the matter clearer but I believe that my submission to change the title from "Mister Roberts" to Mister Roberts is well within the ambit and intent of the current rule.
