Why don't you create a user review in your user space, like this: User:Driesvandenelzen1/Flexaret automat VII, that you would link from this page? --Rebollo fr 11:39, 26 August 2006 (EDT)

Full name

I wonder if there is a particular reason to write "automat" in lowercase only, not "Automat". The fact that it is writeen "automat" on the camera itself is no reason: the camera is also written "flexaret", but we're writing "Flexaret". I suggest to change the title accordingly.

However, before settling for a new title, we need to know if the camera was called "Flexaret VII Automat" or "Flexaret Automat VII" by the company.

Actually, I was hesitant to put in the word 'automat' at all. It was on the name plate and that's why I put it in the title. I've never heard it called anything but Flexaret VII. The company website refers to it as Flexaret VII and so did the camera salesmen in Prague (Jan Pazdera and the people at FotoSkoda, both shops in Vodickova street). My edition (10th) of McKeown does not mention the VI or the VII. Ebay sellers who regularly offer Flexaret VII items, like Gold Camera in Prague and Cupog in Slovakia, systematically write Flexaret VII. The sub name automat is used for another camera, the Flexaret VI as well, to add to the confusion. To sum up, If we're going to change the name, let's rename it Flexaret VII. --driesvandenelzen 14:02, 8 September 2006 (EDT)
