replies: text: Well, an important note is that the character in ChaЯly looks like, but is not, a backwards R. It is the Cyrillic letter Ya. I suggest we remove this word; all that spelling is is "Chayaly" with a mixture of Latin and Cyrillic characters. Any objections?? Georgia guy 13:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you serious?  What is your source that the character is not simply a childlike attempt at the letter "R"? (JosephASpadaro 06:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What is meant here is that the use of the Я character is incorrect, not that the backwards R is not, in fact, a backwards R. I believe what Georgia guy is trying to refer to exactly is this bit of text: An episode of The Simpsons from 2001, entitled "HOMЯ", is a loose parody of Flowers for Algernon and CHAЯLY. 68.107.96.136 06:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm changing the article back to the way it was. The people changing either have not seen the film or do not know what sexual assault is. Please discuss here if you want further clarification but, basically, it is essentially impossible to "attempt" to sexually assault someone - you either do or you don't. Attempted rape is probably what the editor is thinking of. Grabbing someone and throwing them to the ground is assault. Kissing them makes it sexual. Full stop. No argument.

replies: text: Changing it to attempted rape is also inappropriate, since we do not know the Charly's actual intentions. All we can relate in the plot section without a reliable source interpreting the scene is what actually, visibly happens: sexual assault. Anything else is WP:Original research.

message: I removed the following:
:Charly was entered into competition at the 18th Berlin International Film Festival.
Because Charly is not listed at http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1968/02_programm_1968/02_Programm_1968.html

thread_title:  Charly was [not] entered into competition 

message: Why are there spelling inconsistencies in this article between "Charly" and "Charlie"? Is there perhaps some rationale for using these spellings interchangeably, generally, in English?
In the 1968 movie, his name was apparently spelled "Charly" (this is the spelling used in the captions, and the IMDb entry spells his name "Charly" in the cast listing and throughout the storyline), yet this WP article uses the spelling "Charlie". I'm not very familiar with any of the forms of this story, so I'm not about to make any edits based on guesses (different forms might use different spellings). Does someone actually know? Does his name appear in print in the movie, outside of the titles? David Spector (user/talk) 01:20, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
