Abby LockhartIf you find a dead link, rather than put a note next to the link, as you did (I thought it was vandalism), just remove it and explain in the edit summary. Problem solved! Drmargi (talk) 11:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

As you said, the year in the title in unnecessary. --JJB (talk) 12:21, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
I've re created "A Good Day to Die Hard" as filming is now confirmed. JJB (talk) 07:39, 8 May 2012 (UTC) A Good Day to Die Hard (Part 2)I just made those changes based on what was already in the article, using the references already supplied. We did a lot of similar stuff over on the Skyfall page, but A Good Day to Die Hard is much more difficult because there is virtually no information available about the film right now.

Mea culpa and how!I'm so sorry! My comment regarding Unforgettable was directed at the IP, not you! I agree with you -- if you read back, you'll see I'm the one who keeps fighting to keep it in the article. That editor's rigid "it must not be here because it doesn't fit what we've done every year since God wore short pants" approach chaps my hide. I should have directed my comment to her more clearly. Sorry to have offended you!. --Drmargi (talk) 04:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
A good day to die hard plotSorry, but it is not your say as to when the plot should be revealed. WP:SPOILER explains it all. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 06:57, 9 February 2013 (UTC) The Catchphrase for AGDTDHLeaving everything else in the article intact, why should the catchphrase "remain where it is at?" When you look at the other films' articles, it was never necessary to state that John utters the catchphrase. Does it serve some crucial part of the plot? And that's not even mentioning that not every theatrical release version of the film got to have that line, notably in the UK version, which was cut/censored to remove violence and language. I will leave the Plot as it is for a week, unless there is some valid reason to keep it there. I mean, as a point of analogy, it's not as if "May the Force be with you" had to be specifically mentioned in the Plot section of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. - Enter Movie (talk) 17:56, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC) Box office sitesI request you yo please read this message very carefully. I don't need any consensus or convince any admin to prove BOM is wrong. I wouldn't have cared at all whether Box Office Mojo or Boxoffice.com would have been used as a source if BOM would have been reliable for the worldwide box office gross of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone". If you don't believe me look at this proof (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=reddawn10.htm). Please check all the information carefully. Under the Foreign section it is clearly visible that foreign box office gross is shown. But the total foreign box office gross is shown as "n/a". BOM is basically contradicting itself and thus under the basic definition of a reliable source it fails to qualify as a reliable source atleast for the box office gross of increadible burt wonderstone. That's why I instead used boxoffice.com as a source instead of Box office mojo. Now please I request you not to revert my edits because I've already proved that Box office mojo does not qualify as a reliable source. And since I already have I don't need to have a consensus or take this matter to a notoceboard or an admin. Trust me when I say this I'm literally sick and tired about explaining to people that Box office mojo does not update it's foreign box office grosss regularly for some movies especislly those which have not been noticeable. I can instead use the given link as a proof to request BOM be disqualified as a reliable source for Box Office gross. KahnJohn27 (talk) 10:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Also I request you again to ask MarnetteD to stop induldging in combative behavior with other users. This user has constantly accused multiple users of having combative and implosive behavior. Those complaining to me have said that whenever she opposed it personally upsets her. She starts calling their behavior as combative while it is the fault of her own behavior. Also they have said that she has no intrests in actually improving Wikipedia. As a fellow Wikipedian user I request you to please inform her about her irresponsible behavior. If my behavior looks combative then hers is more than just combative. Nobody can be allowed to enforce their views and ths I have turned to you for help. I hope you will help me. Thank you.

Changed the gross of Incredible Burt WonderstoneWhile still using BOM as a source to avoid edit warring I've changed the worldwide box office gross of the film by manually calculating the whole foreign box office gross and adding it the domestic gross have to obtain the true "worldwide gross". As you can see I have instead linked the box office gross to this section (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=burtwonderstone.htm) where the foreign gross of all territories is given. The difference comes out to be more than 5 million when the whole foreign gross is manually calculated and considering the small budget of the film it's a lot. KahnJohn27 (talk) 09:50, 29 April 2013 (UTC) The Dark KnightHello, can you comment at Talk:The Dark Knight (film)#How the cast should be ordered about the cast list? I hope we can all put aside the animosity and articulate our rationales for the kind of ordering the cast list should have. Per WP:FOC, we should strive to focus on content. If there is a repeat situation, I encourage you to notify WT:FILM so discussion can be facilitated. I've also asked Bluerules about starting a general discussion about such ordering so we can determine a wider understanding and consensus when going forward. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC) Instead of manually calculating I think it will be much more convinient to use Boxoffice or The Numbers. You can start a discussion about it if you would like to.use them as sources. Also if you would still like calculating gross you can do.it yourself. I would like to give an advice here. Just write down the gross of all countries on piece of paper and calculate it with a calculator. That's how I calculated the gross of The Incredible Burt Wonder stone and The Calk. It only takes some 2 - 5 mins. KahnJohn27 (talk) 04:03, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Olympus Has FallenSo you're aware, you are the one who violated 3RR, as I only reverted you once. You reporting me is a bit bass-ackwards, since I didn't break policy. Technically, my edit should've stood and we called for outside assistance then. Despite that, I've responded to your request. I think the issue may be that you don't know what a billing block is (I promise I'm not being sarcastic, it isn't exactly common knowledge), and you just think I'm being blind. I assure you I'm not. Please read my response. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:17, 10 June 2013 (UTC) Your revert of my edit of Die Hard with a VengeanceHi BattleshipMan, White House Down"Joey King is not listed in the billing block, even the current poster doesn't show the billing block below it." - Then why the heck are we going by the billing block? The ordering I put together is a much closer approximation of who actually stars in this movie... Wikkitywack (talk) 19:15, 12 July 2013 (UTC) VEI agree that visual editor shall not continue.

Just because "most" film articles have something doesn't mean they all should. Most of them are not good articles. This is. As WP:FILMCAST clearly states: "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, so it is encouraged to name the most relevant actors and roles with the most appropriate rule of thumb for the given film". This is already perfectly conveyed by the plot section, as the policy recommends ("actors and their roles may be placed in the plot summary"). A stand-alone list, in this case, is superfluous, trivial and adds nothing. This is not IMDb. Gran2 19:40, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
I've copied this discussion here, for easy access. Gran2 22:33, 19 August 2013 (UTC) Hi. The WT:FILM thing didn't really yield anything concrete about this issue, but the sole opinion offered seemed to me to say that my interpretation of the policy was correct. Do you wish to seek more opinions on this, or can I remove the cast list? Gran2 17:58, 31 August 2013 (UTC) What's your source for them?Tell me! Imdb? Then you're committing WP:OR. Nothing says they are merenaries. Is IMDB a reliable source? According to them Giovanni Strassini played in 1976 Rose Bowl game. We all know how true that is[1].

You may want to visit the Raging Bull page and The Departed page and see his Edit History for each of those pages.
