Binary example

The point '8' under 'The number 5, the letter V' is marked as requiring referrence but I think it do not requires such. Both facts are very well known:

Added the list of references to External Links

I added Madelyn Boudreaux's "An Annotation of Literary, Historic, and Artistic References in Alan Moore's Graphic Novel, V For Vendetta" to the External links because it was information I had been looking for and I knew others were interested. I did check the page before I made this addition, but missed this article being listed as number 3 in "Notes and references" section. I decided it was still worthy of an External links entry and left it.

hatnote

I've reversed the removal of the film from the hatnote. While I don't think we need to open a primary topic conversation, given that it's the only other exact match at the dab page, and that it gets four times as many views, it's clearly beneficial to help readers arriving here navigate there.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this was the correct move? But the context of the conversation with regard to Pennyworth being a literal prequel to V for Vendetta is very debatable. The reason people search for the information is because this (wikipedia) is the only reference any where that definitively link the two. The discussion cited was not a flat out statment that Pennyworth is a prequel to V for Vendetta. It was better summed up in the first public iteration of the "link" between V for Vendetta and Pennyworth at the San Diego Comic Con. I was two people left of, let's just call him an audience member, who posed a question that was not a direct "is Pennyworth actually intended to be a prequel to V for Vendetta?". It was a question/statement about the fictional world that Pennyworth took place in. Bruce Heller fielded the question. (Paraphrasing) It is a fictional world which led up to a British Civil war, the world in which V for Vendetta took place in, among many others. Later Dodge City was referenced by Danny Cannon, so Dodge City may as well be called the prequel to Pennyworth if we are going to take such loose references as direct links.
