A fact from The Hunting Ground appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 February 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Lady Gaga recorded the song "Till It Happens to You" for the 2015 film The Hunting Ground? A record of the entry may be seen at Misplaced Pages:Recent additions/2015/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Hunting Ground.

The first paragraph of the article says "The film was released on February 27, 2015, and was subsequently broadcast on CNN." The film hasn't been broadcast on CNN to my knowledge at all, it's been delayed for reasons that I also don't know (maybe it's being updated, but that's my speculation). I don't know how best to edit this but I wanted to bring this to the attention of readers, maybe someone could find better references for an air date or reason(s) for the delay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:E:A281:562:D0DF:DD85:5A37:117B (talk) 11:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I work for the film's director, Kirby Dick. I can confirm that the CNN broadcast has not taken place, and that there was never a plan for it to be broadcast so soon after theatrical release. I see this edit introduced the error; I suggest adjusting it to say, "a New York Times piece announced the film would be subsequently broadcast on CNN." -Edwardpatrickalva (talk) 18:57, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I adjusted the text to meet this concern. I have made a few other edits, too, and plan to make some more cited additions in the next few days. -Edwardpatrickalva (talk) 18:30, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

If you work for the director, then your editing would be a violation of WP:COI: "Do not edit Misplaced Pages in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships."

You are "strongly discouraged" from editing Misplaced Pages, and your account may be blocked if you do.

There were several anonymous edits that violated WP:NPOV, and I'll try to change some of them. They could be reverted simply because they gave no reason for the edit in the edit summary. --Nbauman (talk) 19:33, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

In regards to the massive section detailing what one journalist wrote in one article that has subsequently been criticized, it's obviously far too long, violating WP:UNDUE, as it's larger than the entire rest of the critical reception section. It should be drastically shortened. Reece Leonard (talk) 20:12, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
