Comments
[edit]If the comment is numbered, it must be addressed for the article to pass, if it is bulleted, it's an optional suggestion or comment that you don't need to act on right now.
When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.
- "grossing over thirteen times its budget since being released" this should have a less relative reference, it should be something like "as of X" so that it doesn't become quickly outdated.
- "Noah witnesses Claire on a date with Garrett" I first read this as if Noah and Garrett were on a date, you may want to reword it slightly.
- "It runs for approximately 91 minutes" The infobox says 90, it should be consistent.
- "nearly ten years ago" also slightly outdated, and should probably be referenced to the time of the film, not current day.
- I would like to see a more robust fair use rationale. "Infobox" isn't a clear purpose, why does this purpose fall under fair use? Why isn't this replaceable by free media? Those answers should be added to the rationale at the page.
- The citations for the first edition Illiad sentence would benefit from citation bundling.
- I've addresses all issues, and I don't think we need a citation in the LEAD. I don't clearly understand the fifth issue, please elaborate it. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 04:08, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- The fair use rationale for the movie poster in the infobox I think should be improved. For example, under "purpose" it only says "infobox". I believe the rationale should include why that usage falls under the Non-free content criteria policy. Under "replacable" it just says "no". Why can this image not be replaced and why must we use a non-free image. Wugapodes (talk) 18:55, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Wugapodes: The fair use rationale is improved. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 11:42, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

The Illiad, First Edition
[edit]The book cover in the movie still at IMDb has blue leather-like cover, gold trim, gold shield with "VE RI TAS", obvious match for Harvard Classics series cover. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 17:58, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
