:Thanks for pointing this out to me. I probably didn't appreciate how "<!-- end title cards -->" exactly works.

== Issues with the lead ==

The current formation of the lead is awkwardly worded (e.g., "22nd in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions" implies they are canonically the same; Eon just produce, the films are not part of one larger universe) contains unnecessary fluff and partial spoilers (e.g., Camile's motivations are not part of the premise of the film, thus spoiling a key part of the plot) and is missing information (e.g., nothing regarding the film's theatrical release or who plays who to delineate the cast). These are only a handful of the issues with the lead, like I also outlined with '']'' (2006).

The edit I proposed (https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Quantum_of_Solace&oldid=1108762003) provides a clearer, easier way to navigate reading the lead. In it, the film is described, the cast is outlined, a concise premise is given, relevant off-screen information is contained in one paragraph, and release information is added. ] (]) 20:06, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Theironminer, Could you please stop edit warring and discuss your proposed changes. Your suggested text goes against a long-standing consensus and you need to stop editing and explain WHY you think the change is a positive one. I have left you notification that one more reversion will breach ], and I strongly advise you to read that policy before you edit that phrase again. - ] (]) 10:45, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

End title cards

@Supermann: I won't argue with the change to cast listing, but why did you move the "end title cards" comment? Aren't Cuervo and everyone below him listed in the end credits? GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I probably didn't appreciate how "" exactly works. Several seconds ago, I tried to put it behind Judi Dench and before Cuervo and preview the diff, it didn't seem to make a difference at all. Maybe you want to create a subsection like that of the Casino Royale (1967 film)? Thanks. Supermann (talk) 14:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Issues with the lead

The current formation of the lead is awkwardly worded (e.g., "22nd in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions" implies they are canonically the same; Eon just produce, the films are not part of one larger universe) contains unnecessary fluff and partial spoilers (e.g., Camile's motivations are not part of the premise of the film, thus spoiling a key part of the plot) and is missing information (e.g., nothing regarding the film's theatrical release or who plays who to delineate the cast). These are only a handful of the issues with the lead, like I also outlined with Casino Royale (2006).
