message: After seeing Inside Edition with an interview of the film's director, and general knowledge on how politicians react to these things, it's important to note that Hillary Clinton and most if not all of the GOP in Texas hasn't actually SEEN the film! Wouldn't their comments end up being baseless? --Chicobo329 23:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Bush's speechwriter says Kim Jong-il's name badly; she says it more like Kim yil-Jong. (I know it's just a film, but in the film's reality you would expect the speechwriter to the President of the USA to be able to pronounce the names of foreign leaders.)
It takes place about 12 minutes into the movie, after she mentions the "Sea of Japan" incident.JimmmyThePiep 18:26, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this movie be credited as starring Bush, Cheney and other political figures considering the moving is centered around them?

thread_title: Starring?

message: In my opinion, the most disturbing image of the film is not of Bush being shot (which of course was fabricated), but the actual footage of an Iraqi insurgent getting shot in the head. Since this is a fictional drama, this actually makes the film one of the few "entertainment" pieces in which the actual death of someone is shown. (Oliver Stone's JFK, which includes the Zapruder assassination film in its entirety, is another example). I wonder if this is worth noting? 68.146.41.17 14:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Deathofapresidentcnnscreen2.jpg

message: This article was never intended to be displayed in a "British Style" format. This is the 'American Version' of wikipedia, and is meant to be written in "AMERICAN ENGLISH". This article is ABOUT a british film; but there's no need to insert british stylized text like frequently putting in Dashes--in between words as a conjunction, or british spellings for words like "criticize" (spelling it as 'criticised' with an S instead of a Z) and the rearranging of Date Formats like adding the day before the month (ie.  6 October) instead of October 6. The way this article is written is ridiculous. Just because the subject matter is British in origin, doesn't mean it has to be written that way.Leenoor 18:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong. This is the English language Wikipedia, not the American Wikipedia. The formatting convention is that spellings should be that of the subject of an article (British spellings for a British film, person, etc.).

message: The article lists the official website for the film with the following web address: http://web.archive.org/web/20070711144809/http://www.deathofapresident.com   However, I did a search on Google, and another site comes up. It is the following: http://www.deathofapresident.com/     Does anybody know, which website is the real official page? Or are they both correct? Whats the difference between the two?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.142.222 (talk) 05:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The one currently linked is an archive of deathofapresident.com from July 2007, hosted by Internet Archive. The site at deathofapresident.com today is a WordPress blog consisting of two posts, both of which are entirely composed of text copied from the old site (the "Synopsis" and "Reviews  from people who have not seen the film" sections), so the archived site contains all the content of the current site and more. –CapitalLetterBeginning (talk) 13:33, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Oh, ok. Thanks for describing the differences. Then the archived site is definitely the correct one to be displayed for the article.  98.113.142.222 (talk) 18:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
