Hi Guys first post on here.
 
It has come to my attention that the main "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season Eight" series is entitled "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 8". All the TPB's  and the Willow Oneshot use "Eight", which I consider to be correct (Eight is used in the top left of the cover and the inside page)
 
Is there a particular reason why a number was used instead of the word or am I free to make the changes? (Or would it be quicker for and admin to batch rename them in the backend)
 
Cheers

If you have the comics, whatever the indicia states should be the title, which anyone can change. The indicia is usually located on the inside of the cover and shows the title of the book, the volume, the date, the publisher and all the legal information. (the small print)

Thanks for replying
 
If it is based on the inside cover "indicia" then things get complicated. It seems the title changes through the series and makes no mention of volume. But it does indeed indicate that "Eight" rather than 8 is used.

I wouldn't worry too much about the number, it is season 8 no matter how it is written :) 
 
we have many other characters and issues that need a lot of work, that are far more important to worry about than how a number is written :)

What I would do is change it from 8 to Eight and make some notes on the volume page stating that many issues are simply stated as being 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' although they are part of the same volume. This would be a much easier fix than creating multiple volumes and having to delete issues (which only mods and staff can do) and create all new issues.

While I agree that on the whole the 8/Eight issue is not a huge deal it should at least be consistent and right now it isn't due to the TPB's being title differently than the actual series it compiles. This can lead to all sorts of confusion.

Thanks for the advice. I have done as you suggested and submitted the change for approval (Only at 200 points atm).
