| **I'm just annoyed it went on so long, there should be an easier way to add someone to the noticeboard without having to write out a big chunk of text and hunt down all the evidence. At least we get a week break, short of him sock puppeting. ] (]) 03:08, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| I see you've tweaked the plot for the movie Hacksaw ridge. While I'm not opposed to having things trimmed I do need some guidance concerning a sentence you've modified which now needs tweaked for addition or removal. Originally, I had added a note that "...artillery bombardments from escort ships of the US Navy's Fast Carrier Task Force have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." The current version reads "...artillery bombardments from the US Navy's have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." Note that in the second revision you've left the apostrophe s, but it now serves no purpose. Either we need to lose the apostrophe or we need to note what kind of ships are being referenced. Personally, I liked the mention of the fast carrier task force since it adequately covered the whole fleet in use at Okinawa, but if we are interested in trimming the article I think the easiest solution would be to simply remove the apostrophe s so it reads " artillery bombardments from the US Navy have not had much success in softening up the landing zone." What do you think? ] (]) 00:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
| Added my piece. Betty, there is one of those? Can we find one that says he has been defeated by the British empire?

| User VasOling on ] article insists on saying it received "a warm critical response" in the lede. And that it received positive reviews from "most" critics. I believe this is against practice on most film articles, as "most" is arguably incorrect. Eng Misplaced Pages has its systemic bias; most contributors are people from Western civilization educated enough to speak English, and so are English sources used. We don't know what critics outside this group say. I want to wrap this up as soon as possible.

| ==Copyright of film press releases== | |||
| Can you identify the policy page that says official film press releases aren't copyrighted? According to ]: | |||
| <blockquote>"Occasionally, the question is raised about the copyright status of press releases. While press releases are by nature intended to be reproduced widely, there is no inherent permission to alter them or create derivative works based on them, or to use them for commercial purposes. Accordingly, press releases are handled like other copyrighted content. In the absence of explicit disclaimer or permission, these may not be freely reproduced."</blockquote> <b>] ]</b> 22:37, 9 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| : I believe Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste will cover that with "''Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article.''" which is on my first thing to do list tomorrow as soon as I have some sleep. You will find that a lot of up and coming Movies have official summaries in to provide substance for the article. It is up to the editors to rewrite/word them etc. As in the case of ], ], ] and ] Where I see them, I rewrite them in own words so they cannot be accused of copy vio. It's standard practice for any summary for TV Series/Films. It's just in this instance I have added it first as it is a fairly new article.

| A very kind gesture, and much appreciated. I'm glad we could disagree on a bit of text phrasing and still work with mutual respect — that's what it's all about. And for the record, I agree with you that the closing admin might have been too narrow in his thinking. What I'm basically seeing is two editors who were insistent about rigidity to a guideline that, in this case, flies in the face of reason. And the fact that those of us who feel differently are taking it in good stride and in perspective makes me, nonetheless, continue to feel proud to be part of this community, a community that, I think, has been maturing over the last couple of years in particular.

| Thanks for the Barnstar, I have to be honest and say that it came as a welcome surprise since I had been feeling a little down on account of the fact that it seems like its been forever since someone awarded me one :) As to the discussion, I am sorry to see that the proposed move of Star Trek into Darkness descended into darkness, but as the ''Narada'' demonstrated in the reboot there is always a light at the end of the black hole ;) Take care, and although it's a little late, Happy New YEar all the same. ] (]) 01:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

| == Revolution - Steam Power == | |||
| Thanks for the heads-up re: the tv series ''Revolution''. I had already decided from episode one that I won't be watching it but out of curioisty I wondered why they had no steam power. | |||
| My understanding is that the earliest of cars didn't require electricity either (having hand cranks for the engine). | |||
| This improbable lack of use lead me to give up on that series after one episode... given that the US has high education standards there would be enough people around to know how to operate these. | |||
| ] (]) 21:32, 23 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :Perhaps, but given all the militia wars and all the problems about farming and as Aaron said in the first episode, we had lost all the skills to survive. It does get better and worth a watch. In it's defence, it is Science Fiction, emphasis on Fiction. It's not meant to be realistic. <span style="border:2px solid black;margin-top:2px;bottom:2px;font- verdana;background:orange" > ] ]</span> 21:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| I had the same problem with ''The Walking Dead'' - if I accept a premise of a world full of zombies I didn't understand why the deputy would walk about with a single six-shot revolve (he had a shot-gun, but he kept that in the car's boot/trunk). | |||
| In a nation of high gun-ownership I would have expected he'd have several guns on him at the same time. Even the camp outside Atlanta, they had a single man with a shotgun on only one of the caravans/trailers who wouldn’t have been able to see the whole perimeter… and other people in the camp didn’t have guns. | |||
| But with ‘’Revolution’’, if I accept the premise of a world without electrical power it made no sense that an 'expert at death' as the ex-Marine uncle was would be an expert with swords... although he's had 15 years to learn and practice, he would stand-out. | |||
| I also found the confrontation in the village at the beginning illogical where people with farm implements would have pressed against the militia - and one just knew that the father was going to die - of course his son would completely ignore him and not put the weapon down even though the father was in the direct line of fire. The rebellious teen seems to have carried on into this post modern world. Even the daughter was stereotypical in that regards... selfish and strong-willed. | |||
| I found the writing poor. The only thing I liked was the doctor with the poison whiskey bottle - a very clever idea, and unexpected to me the viewer. | |||
| I am glad you enjoy it. Perhaps it's going to go into further seasons??? | |||
| I put up with two seasons of ‘’Lost’’ and, ‘’Lost Girl’’ before abandoning them. I still like ‘’Fringe’’. | |||
| I appreciate your feedback. | |||
| ] (]) 22:50, 23 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :Fringe is awesome! One of the best Sci-Fi series for a long time. Im halfway through season 3 at the moment. Yes there were several stereotypes in the opening episode, but sometimes you just need to look past it all lol. Its one of those lazy sunday afternoon shows. Like Fast Food, you know it's not good for you, but you eat/watch it anyways and you feel guilty because on some level you liked it. Make sense? <span style="border:2px solid black;margin-top:2px;bottom:2px;font- verdana;background:orange" > ] ]</span> 22:54, 23 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::I like ''Fringe'' very much myself. The last season not so much, but everything up to then. Thanks for the kind words, by the way. As I recall, you and I have disagreed respectfully and collegially and worked together for the betterment of Misplaced Pages regardless. This other discussion is so dismaying.
