Duplicate Keywords List #3 - Formal Proposal for Permanent Merging and Auto-Conversion

@Michelle 

I have done some further mapping of keywords on IMDb and at this time would like to formally propose the following keywords for permanent merging and auto-conversion.

These keywords have all been vetted by the IMDb community; I posted them a week ago and there were no comments in opposition (see this thread). That thread also shows the numbers for each keyword.

Many of these would merge the keywords to the American spellings, per IMDb policy. However, I do recommend keeping the British spelling for "british-humour," which is, after all, a British-specific keyword. 

Duplicate Keywords Proposed for Permanent Merging and Auto-Conversion

aeroplane ---> airplane 


black-&-white-to-color ---> black-and-white-segues-into-color --->  black-and-white-to-color


british-humor --->  british-humour 


business-tycoon ---> tycoon 


cab-driver ---> taxicab-driver ---> taxi-cab-driver  ---> taxi-driver 


harbour ---> harbor 


humour ---> humor 


long-distance-call ---> long-distance-telephone-call 

mini-van ---> minivan 


neighbour ---> neighbours   ---> neighbors   ---> neighbor 


newlyweds ---> newly-weds --->  newly-wed-couple ---> newlywed-couple


photoshoot ---> photo-shoot 


race-track ---> racetrack 


toy-maker ---> toymaker


trap-door ---> trapdoor 


trucker ---> truck-driver


villian ---> villains  ---> villain

woman-in-shower  ---> woman-in-the-shower  ---> woman-in-a-shower


world-trade-center ---> world-trade-center-new-york  ---> world-trade-center-manhattan-new-york-city

Hi keyword_expert -

I reviewed these requests, aside from the listing british-humor/british-humour (which I reversed the request), these Keyword requests have now been updated, the changes should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

"black-and-white-segues-into-color" and "black-and-white-to-color" (or vice versa) are two different things.  The first, " black-and-white-seques-into-color," is a "fade," while the second, "black-and-white-to-color,"  is a "cut."  And, of course, there might also need to be "color-segues-into-black-and-white" and/or "color-to-black-and-white."  These represent two different editing techniques.
