Talk:White Zombie (film)

message: What is the point of moving the tags to the bottom? Seems like they'll do less good there. Can you cite a style guide or something?SIckBoy 20:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No. See if you can find any rules in WP:STYLE, maybe I missed something. However, I would like to point out that every other stubbed article on Wikipedia has them at the bottom except this one! I therefore cite precedent. Presumably the theory goes that any editor too apathetic or dim to read a short article all the way to the end probably isn't the ideal person to make it longer.

text: Didn't notice you're discussing this topic when I made my last edit. The style guide you asked for is Wikipedia:Perfect stub article and more precisely the section about categorizing stubs.--BSI 21:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is severely lacking in NPOV, and also includes a number of unclear phrases that make it very unencyclopaedic - what is a 'flub'?  What is meant by a 'did-he-really-say-that line'?  Needs some clearing up methinks.86.144.56.33 13:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-neutral and Unencyclopaedic

message: Shouldn't it mention "horror film" in the first sentence? It may have been independent but horror is the major theme, right? Hekerui (talk) 18:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah sorry it should! That got a little loss. I've been editing the article a little madly lately. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Horror

message: Might be good to include a sentence about the heavy metal band White Zombie taking their name from the film. Cavie78 (talk) 13:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh I plan too, but I was hoping to find a bit more information about it first such as "why" Mr.Zombie chose the band name over some other names or what he thought of the film or something. I'd have to dig into that. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Hi Edalton, per WP:FILMHIST states that ". If ample coverage from secondary sources exist about a film's historical or scientific accuracy, editors can pursue a sub-topic sharing such coverage in a section titled "Historical accuracy" or "Scientific accuracy" ("accuracy" being applied as neutral terminology).
Wikipedia's "No original research" policy says about synthesizing, "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." Readers and editors should take for granted that there are many ways films conform to, and deviate from, history or science.". If you can find some specifically related to this film, then go ahead, but if it's outside the topic, I'm not sure if it should be added. Cheers! Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:41, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Legacy section

message: "In 1933 and 1934, the film experienced positive box-office numbers in small towns in the United States, as well as in Germany under the title Flucht von der Teufelsinsel." -  Flucht von der Teufelsinsel is another movie. Rhodes seems to be wrong here (reference itself is correct; I checked "White Zombie: Anatomy of a Horror Film", p 233). Btw: "Flucht von der Teufelsinsel" would translate into "Escape from Devil's Island", not "Curse of the Devil's Island" as Rhodes writes. The latter would read "Der Fluch der Teufelsinsel" in german, but there seems to be no movie of such title. Neither ist "White Zombie" credited with another German title than "Im Bann des weißen Zombie" aka "Schreckenshaus der Zombies". According to sources (here, here), "White Zombie" wasn't released in Germany till 1989 (poorly dubbed for TV). I suggest to delete all information regarding box office in Germany. Informations provided by Rhodes are not valid in this matter.  --DrTill (talk) 19:28, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
