Why is there a line about the television show in this article about the magazine? Seems irrelevant. +swaly 23:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know, I agree it seems out of place. PhilipPage 20:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I get a 403 "The website declined to show this webpage" when I try to go to http://www.metalhurlant.com/. Is this permanent?

Image:Metal Hurlant 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There's a new live-action Métal hurlant TV series (co-produced by a company called We Prod.) that is bizarrely not at all mentioned on either the English or French versions of this entry.

I can't find all that much info on it, but there's an IMDb page and a Facebook group about it, which should be enough to confirm it's existence.--JFP (talk) 01:00, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Métal hurlant → Métal Hurlant – As the title of a magazine, this article's title should be written in title case MOS:TITLECAPS. Every source cited in the article uses title case, including the magazine's website. Ngrams shows a clear preference for title case. I had to click through three pages of results on a Google Books search before I found a source using the current capitalization. This clearly makes title case the COMMONNAME.

For transparency, this issue was raised on Discord, which led to me performing a bold move. @Fram then reverted the move with the rationale "French title is with lowercase h", presumably referring to the French Wikipedia article fr:Métal hurlant. Toadspike [Talk] 20:56, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the move because it came rather out of the blue for this long-standing article, where the French version is at lowercase "h". Better not to discuss such things on Discord, I guess, but have such discussions here, as that is more transparent, involves all interested editors, and leaves traces for later. If even the publisher or own website now uses uppercase "H" then I have no objection to the move as such. Fram (talk) 08:30, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: Hi. I can find very few examples of the H not being capitalised. For the most recent reboot, it continues using the upper-case H link. In the sourcing on this very article, we see widespread uppercase H. There is a strong case for it to be upper-case here, IMO, and the requester did provide a solid justification for this. Reverting because "it's been this way for a while" while not addressing the sources he provides doesn't seem good practice. Looking at the French wiki, French-language sources cited are also capitalising the H; in the front cover on the English article, the H is definitely bigger than the other characters, too, denoting uppercase. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 17:39, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The current styling Métal hurlant appears correct per general rules of French capitalization. Per MOS:FRENCHCAPS and MOS:FOREIGNTITLE it should be retained. It's worth noting that these rules as applied to English Wikipedia are hotly debated[1]. Exceptions abound, but two (or several) wrongs don't make a right. I don't think Métal Hurlant falls into any of the categories where such exceptions are most common, and none of the exceptions are uncontroversial. Some articles like La Vie Parisienne and Académie Française have English-style caps, grounded in an appeal to WP:COMMONNAME based on sufficient conformity in English-language sources. Again, these are controversial, with opponents noting that they violate the MoS and that English-language sources are not reliable for French capitalization standards. (Other editors will also argue that "creative" capitalization in some French-language sources should not supersede our MoS nor authoritative guidance for French.) I have a slight preference for retaining the current title (Métal hurlant) per FRENCHCAPS.--MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 02:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The title of this magazine, as given by the publisher, is "Métal Hurlant". You can see this on their website [2], in editions of the magazine available on Google Books [3][4], in a French book about the magazine [5], and on the two French-language sites linked in the References section. Thus, the capitalized title would follow MOS:FOREIGNTITLE exactly: Retain the style of the original for modern works. This wording is repeated at WP:NCCAPS#Works and compositions.

  It looks like our guidelines conflict themselves here, but in a way that should be easy to resolve. On the one hand, we have FOREIGNTITLE, NCCAPS, and COMMONNAME (in both French and English). On the other, perhaps the Académie Française would prefer it lowercased, though is not reflected in French sources on this subject. Thus, in my opinion, the balance of both sources and policy support a move. Toadspike [Talk] 12:25, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This is a reasonable assessment. It does seem bizarre to enforce a style that ignores COMMONNAME and will be jarring to a general English speaking audience (Métal hurlant) on the basis of conflicting guidance for French titles. While I respect the argument in favor of FRENCHCAPS, if consensus is that the balance of policy and usage favors Métal Hurlant then the article title should reflect that. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 16:12, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
