Wikipedia is not allowing the uncensored listing of this film on the director's filmography to be changed to the correct spelling and removing of the asterisks

Could some administrator or someone else who can do this -- please make this change? See the link below to film's star and director Calvin Lockhart's Wikipedia page:

The title also cannot be changed on the film's cinematographer's Wikipedia page:

Should the title use the full historical name without asterisks, per policies on titles and NOTCENSORED?

I've done some research on this film, found the movie poster, and noticed that it doesn't censor the title like this article does. Should an effort be made to remove the censors in this article, add the movie poster, and eventually move the article to the original title name of the film?

Ditto that. The only reason I am not doing this is because my religious background makes me uncomfortable and prevents me from updating the title. Other than that, I fully support.

• Clear support: I checked the cited sources and external links in the article and the poster art shown at the top of it, and none of them use asterisks like this. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:58, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Lost film?

The article is in Category:1970s lost films and it is tagged as a lost film on IMDb, but the body of the article does not say it is a lost film. I suggest that the article should discuss this specifically. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
