Theater or Theatre?

"Theatre" isn't in my webster's dictionary. Should this be change to "theater"? --TheYellowDart(t/c)

"Theatre" is an alternate spelling that should appear in any good dictionary. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Wiktionary confirms what I suspected: in US Englilsh, "theatre" primarily refers to live performances, while "theater" is usually used for cinema. I say this article should be moved to The Movie Theater. Trey56 23:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Interestingly, Theyellowdart this may explain why "theatre" doesn't appear in Mr. Webster's dictionary ;) Trey56 23:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, it'd be nice to find another source besides Wiktionary, but I do believe what it says there is correct, so I'd be good with supporting a move. Heimstern Läufer 23:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I couldn't find any distinction on oed.com or dictionary.com, but this source suggests that "theater" is better when referring to the building itself. Given the omission on the first two sources I checked, I suspect that it's probably not wrong to leave it as is, but it may be preferred. Trey56 23:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Done. We should probably leave the redirect. — It's dot com 23:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Absolutely; precedents for this include colouring and personal favourites. Heimstern Läufer 23:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Ah, that looks better. Qermaq, is my dictionary not good enough, HUH?!?! ;) TheYellowDart(t/c)
I should say it lacks a common alternate spelling of "theater". But I was not able to weigh in on the name change proposal due to time. I'm happy with the results. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 03:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Change the picture?
