message: *Is it really a gag, if you put a cloth over your nose and mouth? Surely it's more like an improvised filter, or breathing mask? You can buy face masks and refill cloths at any hardware store, but I have never heard of them being called "gags". -- Karada 18:15, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

How 'famous' actually are these? This reads more like a list of films which just happen to contain someone being gagged; unless the gagging makes for a major and unusual plot device in the film (not just 'So-and-so was tied up and gagged so that he wasn't able to speak') then I don't think it should be included.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.156.254 (talk) 18:49, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

message: @Jeffhardyfan08 I don't understand why you keep reverting my replacement of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Island_nations.png with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Island_nations.svg. Your argument is: "The PNG has greenland. Unless someone can recreate it with SVG with Greenland, this PNG is staying."
I don't understand this for two reasons: Greenland is not a country, and this is a page about countries. In addition to this, no one needs to recreate an SVG to add Greenland. Anyone can just edit it. That's the point of an SVG. 
Edit: I now see that you are the one who added Greenland to the PNG, which is a misguided decision as Greenland isn't a country.
However, you also tried to add Greenland to the SVG, but seemingly didn't end up doing it. If you believe so steadfastly that Greenland should be on there, why not just add it to the SVG and replace the PNG here?
