Talk:The Girl Next Door (2004 film)

message: The trivia section is huge! It needs to be shrunken, some of the information in the article needs to be put in new sections that can be started (such as the budget dropping in Production).  But DO NOT JUST REMOVE IT! -- Cbrown1023 19:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I but the Production related information in a new sub-topic, production.  But someone should fix the flow of that paragraph and the other Trivia needs to be moved out. -- Cbrown1023 23:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia

message: Under production, it says:
:Additionally, the prom in the film takes place in the cafeteria, much in the same way as the director's [citation needed].
Not to toot my own horn, but I went to school with the director (Luke Greenfield) and can verify this - I'm just not sure how, exactly to do it. Anyone got a suggestion?

thread_title: Personal citation?

message: From the "Critical Reaction" section: "While the film has been noted as an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life, critics have pointed out the lack of ethnic diversity in the supporting cast." Not only is there no citation, but who in their right mind would call this film "an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life?" I was a high school student during the fin-de-siècle and nobody in my school had any experiences even close to what the people in this film have.  This is pure fantasy.  Unless somebody objects, I will remove this sentence in one week from today.--GHcool 05:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would also like to have the experiences the high school students have in the Harry Potter series.  Does that make it "an accurate portrayal of ... high school life?" --GHcool 21:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sure it doesn't :). - Darwinek 15:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed, as it's been eleven days since the first comment, with no sign of a source for either claim in that sentence in sight. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Girl Next Door movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Did this really happen in the movie or is it just vandalism (which this article seems to attract from one-time users lately)? -Lwc4life (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Matthew and Danielle in the limo 

message: I cannot help at the moment, but this article needs urgent attention in multiple areas.  The synopsis is rather lacking, the grammar is repetitive and redundant in many areas, and the typographical errors need remedied as soon as possible.

message: I removed the censorship of the word "fuck", according to Wikipedia's rules on censorship, "In particular, when a cited quotation contains words that may be offensive, it should not be censored. Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers should be used if and only if their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternatives are available."
It needs to either exist uncensored, or be removed from the page. If someone wants to just rewrite the page without using that line, go ahead. earle117 (talk) 20:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Censorship 

message: *One of the IPs seems to have a problem with my adding the  template. The entire paragraph sounds unencyclopedic (more like it's being narrated), and I welcome anyone to explain how it isn't. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 03:16, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Story? 

message: The issue is: A plot summary of fiction inevitably sounds like a "story" because it is summarizing a story. More specifically, if the  template is appropriate for this article, how can the plot summary be written in any way other than sounding like a story? Note we are not talking about the accuracy of the plot summary; that would be an entirely different issue. 75.177.156.78 (talk) 00:44, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: are the kind of sensationalizing we don't need in plot summaries.  The entire section needs less promotional language and more just telling the facts.  We don't need to be puffing up the language like we're writing a commercial.--v/r - TP 22:32, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Your criticisms pertain to details that may or may not belong in the plot summary. By all means, please rewrite the plot summary if you feel that changes are needed. But you have said nothing to support use of the template or addressed the issue of how a plot summary can be written without it sounding like a story. I can virtually guarantee that if you rewrite the plot summary it will either sound like a story or be so sterile and stripped of content that it is meaningless as a plot summary. If you disagree, then please give us your version of the plot summary that does not sound like a story. 75.177.156.78 (talk) 23:20, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
