Talk:Arn (species)

Rename suggestion

What "transcript"? There's no official BBC transcript. Are you perhaps referring to the iPlayer subtitles?

Nope, and I think I actually may have been too fast on that one. I took it from this: http://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=763&t=29228, but that's not valid, I think. What does the iPlayer subtitles say? --DCLM ☎ 20:40, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Should the template be removed then, or what is the conclusion? --DCLM ☎ 16:39, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

You are free to remove it, because of the basis, but it may well be right. I have no idea what iPlayer subtitles say, because I am not British. It sounded like "arn" to me, and I did replay the moment a few times to make my best guess.

Oh ok. I just thought that only staff were allowed to remove them.

Yeah, but you know... words can still be pronounced the same way, even though they're spelled differently. --DCLM ☎ 20:15, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

I removed the template, until further evidence. It sounded like arn in her English accent, but, again, I may be mistaken. And now we wait for someone with iPlayer access to clear this all up.

I have an independent question: shouldn't this Arn be dabbed given another one, Arn (Beneath the Skin)? Amorkuz ☎ 21:55, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

BBC Subtitles call it an ahn. --90.197.233.150^{talk to me} 17:48, November 7, 2016 (UTC)

Seems like I was right about that then. --DCLM ☎ 17:50, November 7, 2016 (UTC)

Can someone please confirm that spelling? I personally have it spelled "arn" on my iTunes subtitles, so under no circumstances should that not at least be a redirect.

And Arn (Beneath the Skin) is an individual, so it's not strictly necessary. I remember answering this question before. (species) is typically for sentient species. If somebody was named Bear (Whatever Story), bear wouldn't need a dab term.

Still waiting for someone to confirm the spelling. --DCLM ☎ 06:48, November 11, 2016 (UTC)

The BBC subtitles say "Ahn" for For Tonight, and "Arn" for Detained. --176.254.99.14^{talk to me} 11:43, November 19, 2016 (UTC)

Still need confirmation. Anyone could just say that. --DCLM ☎ 12:56, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
