# Talk:Iron Man (2008 film)

Under the Pre-production section, we have this sentence:
"Iron Man comic book artist Adi Granov designed the Mark III with illustrator Phil Saunders." However, the Phil Saunders linked is not illustrator Phil Saunders, but WWII vet and 19th Attorney General of South Dakota Phil Saunders, who died in 1997 and therefore cannot have worked on a film in 2008. I don't believe illustrator Phil Saunders has a Wikipedia page, though. 2600:1702:5730:83D0:D42:80AA:D2E:18BD (talk) 05:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Fixed by removing the wikilink. Barry Wom (talk) 09:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Can someone explain what is the relevance of the sentence "This article incorporates facts obtained from: Lawrence Kestenbaum, The Political Graveyard" in the post-production section? It does not make any sense in relation to the text and information in the section. I removed it and it was reverted as "relevant text"? The template itself does not give any guidance or explanation of what it is / should be used for. 2401:7400:C80A:9A9D:C4CB:2C4F:36E3:2966 (talk) 03:15, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

It comes from Template:pg and as far as I can tell, it is 1) not relevant to the section in question; and 2) if relevant (which is not explained), it's not in the right place in the article. @Jgstokes appreciate your engagement on this please. 2401:7400:C80A:9A9D:C4CB:2C4F:36E3:2966 (talk) 03:44, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
@Favre1fan93 It appears you added this template along with the text earlier (Diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iron_Man_(2008_film)&diff=prev&oldid=1194009037 ) Could you share if this line regarding Political Graveyard is intended and what relevance it has, if any? Thanks. 2401:7400:C80A:9A9D:C4CB:2C4F:36E3:2966 (talk) 04:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
That was a typographic error. The correct template intended to be called is {{Rp}} (to cite the page numbers of the cited source), and I have corrected it to such. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your positive engagement on the topic. 2401:7400:C80A:9A9D:C4CB:2C4F:36E3:2966 (talk) 04:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Should we really mention the Virginia part of Pepper's name? I mean, Wikipedia:COMMONNAME states that the name of the subject must be common and recognizable even if it is not the official name (Example: J K Rowling and Mahatma Gandhi instead of Joanne Rowling and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi). The end credits of Iron Man and subsequent appearances of Pepper in other films (where she appears in the credits) list her as Pepper Potts. Nobody ever calls her Virginia. 
The same goes for Rhodes. His first name is never mentioned, it's either Rhodey or Rhodes or military titles preceding Rhodes but never James. There are also other characters listed like that (Margaret "Peggy" Carter even though no one ever calls her Margaret).

I would love to hear your reasonings. KBHWKFANATIC (talk) 05:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

This is the first time these characters are introduced to audience in this iteration of them. For someone who has no knowledge what so ever for these characters, it is helpful for us as editors to provide their full names so readers understand that "Pepper" and "Rhodey" are nicknames. Subsequent appearances by these characters in other MCU media do not then need the full names as you have mentioned they do not generally go by or get referred to by those names. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Thank you. KBHWKFANATIC (talk) 03:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
