replies: text: It says PG at IMDB.com. For some reason the Infobox_movie template is broken and isn't showing the rating. --70.142.42.81 01:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Regarded as one of the worst movies ever made" 

message: This article, even after a first pass at policy/guidelines editing and WP:FILMS formatting, continues to be seriously below Wikipedia standards. As it stood, there were extremely large amount of uncited POV and original-research essaying, as well as many WP:DATED vios. I've also commented-out an alleged quote that had no citation other than it ostensibly came from some issue or other of Starlog. The entire article is unreferenced.
I've also removed two inappropriate, unsigned posts on this Talk page, which like Wikipedia article pages, must adhere to policies and guidelines, and serve for discussion of improving the article and not as a general forum for the topic.
Please do not edit this article without first having read the Five Pillars of Wikipedia for a basic understanding of policies and guidelines. -- Tenebrae (talk) 00:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: January 4, 2008 edits

message: The statement that the film was originally planned as being animated needs a source. Also, I removed the links to Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic because I have no idea if that was the tone that Universal would have gone with had the character of Howard been used in an animated feature, or if this was added because fans of the comic books wanted this to be an animated film in the style of those works. If this is sourced as being the original proposed tone, it can be restored. It would seem likely if there was a point in the film's development where George Lucas would not have been involved in the film, but not if Lucas was involved from the start, as he (along with the director and screenwriter) seems to be the main reason why the final film was so commercial in tone.

thread_title:  Pre-production 

message: This article is shaping up - could be a featured article along the lines of Battlefield Earth. Does anyone have a really good source stating Steve Gerber's opinions of the flick? There's a quote attributed to him on the list of films considered the worst, but it is not sourced. (Sugar Bear (talk) 22:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Response 

message: Apparently, out of reluctance to use the plain English term "midget", this version of the article, as opposed to historical versions, suddenly starts talking about "Gale" without doing a proper job of defining who that is.
Maybe if people spent more time on coherence and less on trying to out-PC one another ...

message: I have checked this article and I'm afraid it doesn't meet the GA criteria anymore. Thus, I have delisted it and downgraded it to B class for now. Regards. — ΛΧΣ21 21:46, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delisted 

message: This article states: "The appearance of Howard was criticized as being unconvincing due to his poorly functioning mouth, drunkenness, pervertedness, and expressionless face." How can "pervertedness" be an appearance?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.90 (talk) 13:04, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Appearance?

message: I recently made this edit, removing mention of the fact that the character Howard the Duck appears in the film Guardians of the Galaxy. The reason for removing it was perfectly clear: there is no evidence connecting the appearance of Howard the Duck in that film to the earlier film Howard the Duck. Unfortunately, I was reverted by a brand new user here, without explanation. I do not find that acceptable. In the absence of any evidence that the appearance of Howard the Duck in Guardians of the Galaxy has anything to do with the appearance of that character in the Howard the Duck movie, it is original research to connect the two. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:30, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say it would be original research to connect the two per se, but I would think there should be a mention of the fact that the character appears.  Although, is it established (some interview with a GotG person?) that it was Howard the Duck in that scene, or some other duck from Duckworld? Jimw338 (talk) 11:18, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
