The page title should also be corrected to show 'Picture' (not 'Pictures') as that's the far more widely used name.

[calros]

According to Chinese Wikipedia, the most common is "Pictures".

If nobody stops me in 15 days I will merge them.

That doesn't make sense. Wikipedia doesn't take precedence over the company's own branding. http://www.movie.com.tw/
All of the promotional materials I've seen, like posters and international sales sheets, say 'Picture' too.

Citing Wikipedia as a definitive source of anything is unacceptably poor practice.

Cease from doing it here and elsewhere unless it is backed up by a definitive primary source, or there is a preponderance of evidence to indicate that it is HIGHLY LIKELY to be true. This applies to everyone. Do not change or merge data just for the sake of change based on a flawed source. Use common sense and best judgement, and do not rely solely on secondary sources as being definitive.

I am going to update the Editor rules and guidelines to reflect this.

Slaven, make sure you keep a display_set query string in the URL otherwise this throws an error because of a bug I need to fix. I will update your post. I will be shortening up all of our URLS very soon now.

Alright the lack of a display_set query string causing the exception is now fixed for companies as I have defaulted them to English. Let me know if this occurs elsewhere.

Sorry, I will change to "Picture" in the main name in 15 days if nobody stops me.
