Some of the items on this list (e.g. ''{{w|Ace Ventura: Pet Detective}}'') are drawn as headlines in the same style as the logo from that series. These articles are not in alphabetical order with the surrounding small face text, but these headlines are in alphabetical order with the other headlines from top to bottom, without respect to the left or right column. Some of these phrases are not actually the titles of Wikipedia articles, but rather the full names given in articles' lead sentences. For instance, the article on {{w|Woody Guthrie|Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie}} appears under the title Woody Guthrie. | |
