A fitting tribute

I congratulate all wikipedians who made this featured article, and who made it appear on 25th of may. A great anniversary for star wars.

I could swear this article has been featured before. Articles can be featured multiple times? If so, they should get an additional star.--Surfaced 01:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

It was probably one of the other Star Wars episode articles that you saw - at this point, all but Return of the Jedi have been featured. --Brandt Luke Zorn 01:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Spoilers

I know this is a featured article, so I'm hesitant to change it without checking here first. Is there any good reason for there not to be a spoiler warning anywhere in the article? 72.75.35.36 01:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I'm of the opinion that you can safely say that Star Wars has become so entrenched in popular culture that the plot is generally known. Sir Elderberry 01:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Typically, Misplaced Pages is not censored, which includes warnings and such. It's generally accepted that spoiler warning are allowed, but by no means required. ~ UBeR 02:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the spoiler warning. Its redundant as the section title is Plot.—Gaff 03:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that spolier template look silly. Also, I agree with Elderberry above.—Gaff 03:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Policies/Wikipedia:Spoiler warning over the use of these templates. Feel free to join in the debate. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

'Citation needed' note next to the plot header unneccesary

The plot is part of the movie, and is not in need of a citation. The movie itself is the source and is inherently cited, and can remain physically uncited. I will be removing the notice, if the editor who placed it feels it should remain, please respond here.
Blaiseball 01:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, but there do appear to be some under-cited sections such as "DVD release" and "Cast." ~ UBeR 02:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

And criticism, especially. ~ UBeR 03:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

What criticism? I don't see a criticism section. You mean the "Reaction" section? It looks like everything is cited fine in there. Marcus Taylor 04:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Appropriate Tone?

I found it unusual that in the very first paragraph there was this sentence:

Among fans, the title is commonly abbreviated as "ANH. However, only geeks refer to the movie as this."

Is this appropriate? I would typically think not, even quoted & references as it is.

Keithius 04:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh wait, nevermind - someone fixed it already. Well done!

Keithius 04:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it was vandalism, it's pretty true though. I thought that was kind of weird when I read it -- like 90% of people who like the movies I never heard of this. I think only die hard fans use that, to pout it in the first paragraph is a little much. Marcus Taylor 04:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Featured Article

Ughh..you people are such nerds. Can't something more interesting be featured instead of this? Scott 110 05:19, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
