Review and public opinion

[edit]

I'm wondering how much truth there is in the statement that "Many people are not happy about the change of the invading country and this review points out why[16]"? The citation and "this review" both link to something from a news blog called Libertas. I don't object to the article being linked there, but I do find the wording and the way it was presented to be a bit of a problem. How do we know how much a review from a web site with a clear political bent really reflect public opinion, and how much is "many people"?

Plot summary

[edit]

Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be between 400-700 words. The recent expansions of the plot have violated this and need to stop. The edit war over the plot needs to end and involved editors need to discuss the subject here. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 18:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fully Protected

[edit]

I have fully protected this page for three days, Zmaher (talk · contribs) and TheOldJacobite (talk · contribs) I highly suggest some discussion and agreement regarding the length of the plot before mass reverting each other, note that you have both crossed the 3RR line today. --kelapstick(bainuu) 01:59, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that my reversions violated 3RR, as he was clearly violating MOSFILM, refusing to use edit summaries or discuss his edits. And he had already been reverted by other editors, but simply refused to stop his edits. At any rate, the article is protected, and I already posted a message here on talk suggesting the matter be discussed. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 12:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As the article is now fully protected, please revert the most recent expansion of the plot. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 12:31, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with TheOldJacobite that the plot summary needs to be between 400 and 700 words. WP:PLOT says, "Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the reception and significance of notable works in addition to a concise summary." 700 words is more than enough to summarize this particular film for readers to have context for this article.

Wrong Category

[edit]

I see the category Films set in North Korea is on the article page. This film is not set in North Korea. All of the film takes place in Washington, US. --Mjrmtg (talk) 01:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing subsection on linked page

[edit]

In the main section, paragraph 2 is a link to MGM's page talking about 'Consortium ownership and financial troubles'. Digging thru the pages history I found the missing section (http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer&oldid=633630007#Consortium_ownership_and_financial_troubles) but wasn't sure whether to edit this link or do something on the MGM's page. (outside my pay grade) I leave it up to someone else. Xitit (talk) 17:55, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
