Sloar

This is what shows in subtitles in the Box Set version

Before this becomes a fight, lets screencap the English subtitles of Ghostbusters and see how they spell it. In Richard Mueller's Novelization of Ghostbusters it is spelled Sloar on page 178. Now on the other end of the argument is that the Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Realistic Versions) uses the term Slor. So the debate is, is the term sloar now been retro cannoned to slor? Personally I am going with the notion that even if indeed the video game is cannon to the movie cannon that with two sources against the idea, it seems to be a bit hard to deal with the updated name. So to those out there wanting to add to this, please reply below, but so far references point to Sloar. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page) 21:24, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Stick with Sloar. The videogame simply goofed. It happens.Maybe make a brief point about the other spelling and even mention it's a probable error in the Trivia section. But I wouldn't give it any further consideration than that. Otherwise keep the article the same.

Anonymous sourcing question in regards to Sloar Article

I traded messages with a certain someone one worked on The Video Game and I've been enlightened that all these art samples are actually rejected designs for the Sloars (Type of Creature) . I want to put into the Trivia section, but how should I reference it...as a "primary source"? Mrmichaelt 01:48, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

It's a form of "anonymous sourcing" .....No plan for that..... Idea, Say it is From:Anonymous sourcing, Note what little you were given about them(where they worked/department/job title). I think that is a fair citing for trivia.  Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  06:48, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
