→Trainspotting & Train Spotting: Tentative language.
SO - let's see if we can put together a paragraph that works. ''"Despite the name, ''Trainspotting'' does not have anything directly to do with the hobby of train spotting, in which railfans keep track of the rolling stock they've seen. The name refers to a scene in the original novel, which was not included in the movie. The movie also includes a number of references to trains, including the train wallpaper in the lead character's childhood bedroom."'' This is not perfect - can we improve it here then transfer it to the main page? --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 14:50, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

:Sounds good, though I'd be inclined not to mention the wallpaper, as it seems entirely irrelevant, maybe even coincidental, and the only other reference to a train I can recall is one passing by in a single scene, so "a number of references to trains" seems an exaggeration.

::Makes sense. Let's leave out the train reference sentence until we can come up with more/better examples. So we are left with ''"Despite the name, ''Trainspotting'' does not have anything directly to do with the hobby of train spotting, in which railfans keep track of the rolling stock they've seen. The name refers to a scene in the original novel, which was not included in the movie."'' [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
