A few times, titles have appeared in the Featured section that were incorrect and were eventually removed.  Can we start a sort of policy of waiting to list titles in the list until they are finished and available for download?  This would ensure complete accuracy of this article. --Brandon Dilbeck 19:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Should we alphabetize the films in the list?  It's not immediately apparent that they're sorted by RiffTrax release date.  --Brandon Dilbeck 22:08, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Order of the films 

message: Web content has to be the subject of multiple, reliable independent sources. Most of the independent sources focus on Nelson, and one doesn't even mention Rifftrax at all.--Drat (Talk) 07:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The articles linked on the page about Mike Nelson's Rifftrax focus on Mike Nelson, fancy that. What is that even supposed to mean? Perhaps reading the article and context of the CNN article would explain why it is there. Are you familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000 at all? BathTub 14:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The CNN article provides a source for Nelson having stated that he thinks it's the cheesiest movie ever.  This is important because it's the first commentary provided by RiffTrax.  --Brandon Dilbeck 23:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, that being my point, context is quite clear from reading the article. Not arguing the article couldn't do with a clean up, paragraphs are in the wrong order for instance. I just suspect Drat doesn't get the topic, or maybe that is his point and the article needs to be clearer in general. BathTub 00:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that Rifftrax itself (the website and/or the Rifftrax commentaries) have to be the primary subject of the sources, not mentioned in passing, or even a portion.--Drat (Talk) 00:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the comment is relevant to the topic of the article.  If he didn't think the movie were cheesy, it probably wouldn't have been his first pick for a commentary.  And the CNN source is necessary—we can't just say that Roadhouse is cheesy.  We have to attribute a source for that or people will think the article is trying to be POV.  --Brandon Dilbeck 00:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Oh, I misread what you wrote and didn't address your main point.  But the CNN article predates RiffTrax, so it would have been impossible at that time to write about it.  --Brandon Dilbeck 01:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: It seems as if this section of the article, which has been included for a while: "DisembAudio has also occasionally been known to join in on the riffing. The most notable of his contributions was in the commentary for The Fifth Element in which he ranted for a minute, going off topic from the movie. Several fans were slightly upset by this distracting diversion,[9] and since then, DisembAudio has had fewer lines in the commentaries."  
Should probably reduced to something like "DisembAudio has also occasionally been known to join in on the riffing."  First of all, it is opinionated, (words like rant and distracting are not npov), the fact that 'several' fans found it distracting should be irrelevant, as it is just as likely that several more did not.  Secondly, the part about a reduced role in commentaries is not true, as several of the recent commentaries such as Over the Top and T3 have had several contributions from disembaudio.  I will edit the section if people don't have better suggestions.--Mcgonigle 23:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This part of the article has bothered me for some time and I agree with your evaluation. Please go ahead and make the changes. Wowbobwow12 00:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

text: However Rant was a fair description of the event. BathTub 17:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Well I keep meaning to change the body of text, 2 main things, History seems wrong, the body of the article is two subjects, History how it came into being, and How it works. Plus I think Guest Riffers should become a section as it's only going to get longer.BathTub 17:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, I may as well keep doing some editing.  Regarding the mention of Sharecrow, I don't think that it needs to be mentioned, since it has nothing to do with RiffTrax in an official capacity, and certainly doesn't in the manner it is currently mentioned now:  "Though RiffTrax was originally intended to be played on an MP3 player such as an iPod or laptop computer, a website called Sharecrow provides software designed to assist in synchronizing a commentary with a DVD."
The way this sentence is phrased makes no sense, if anything it should mention alternative methods such as reauthoring discs.Mcgonigle 16:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: NYTimes on RiffTrak I see a few good tidbits that can be dropped into the WP article from this, but just don't have the time right now to add them.  Dropping here for a reference for others. --Masem 23:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: How come Willy Wonka is in the list of movies, shouldn't it be in the list of classic (since it was made in like 1970) or link to the 2005 or something remake? 85.146.76.80 (talk) 01:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Willy Wonka

message: When the order button is clicked on the "Rifftrax Released" column, the release dates arrange in alphabetical order by month. Is it possible to fix it to order them chronologically? If not, or if that doesn't seem useful, since they're already ordered chronologically in one direction in the first place, can the button just be removed? I can't think of any situation where a reader would need to know the release dates alphabetically. 153.42.168.174 (talk) 17:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm a little confused here, and the actual RiffTrax website isn't helping either. What is the difference between RiffTrax and RiffTrax Presents, aside from a female DisembAudio? I can't seem to figure this out. --Grahamdubya (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 06:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Don't forget, folks, that soon others will be able to join in the riffing with iRiffs! Could this be a new section, or are we waiting 'till October when it goes live on the site?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.239.148.14 (talk) 04:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
