message: Copy edited the article and removed all trivia.  When I first started editing articles I too included trivia, but now I realize how off-base I was.  An enclopedia does not include trivia in articles. See: Britannica or World Ency.  Luigibob 06:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The thesis from Beaudrialled isn't connected to CONDOR, it#s real written bullshit!
and no critics. Somebody who is reading books isn#t enough to legitimate such a zitat. Because the storylining of the Pollack film has been done well. There is lining in and  no fragmentaric interpretation.Butler waits!--Danaide (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  There should be a sequel 

message: So, this article says:
The movie is a suspense drama set in contemporary New York City, and is considered an exposition of the moral ambiguity of the actions of the United States government following the Vietnam War and Watergate.
The article on the book says:
The story is a suspense drama set in contemporary Washington, D.C., and is considered an exposition of the moral ambiguity of the actions of the United States government following the Vietnam War and Watergate.
This kind of thing happens on wikipedia a lot, and it is deeply lame.  I hate following a link to find that the subject I'm interested in learning more about in the new article is treated not only at the same level of detail, but with the exact same words as in the other article.  I don't have any real suggestion for improvement, but this is annoying. john k (talk) 01:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently somebody's misguided idea of dealing with this is to delete the entire plot summary except for the first paragraph! First of all, this leaves a fragment of the summary that doesn't make any sense. Second, as far as I'm aware Wikipedia has no policy against overlapping content. If you believe that the summary is too long and detailed  (as the pre edit tag suggested) then edit it down to something you consider more appropriate, but that still contains a complete and coherent summary. Simply deleting 90% of the section and leaving the introductory paragraph is really just vandalism.  Lexington50 (talk) 01:16, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this the first movie to use the newly-constructed World Trade Center as a prop?  Also, the scene where Faye Dunaway's character is in Cliff Robertson's character's office, the camera shot across his desk and out the window shows Brooklyn down below.  It looks to me that they are actually filming in an office of the World Trade Center. Dli04b (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about when she is in Robertson's office, but while Turner is waiting during that, he is definitely in the WTC.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:39, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Trade Center as a prop 

message: Shouldn't there be consistency in whether the contemporary name or the current name of a place is used? For example, Reagan National Airport is listed but The New York Times Company has moved from the address shown. There's also the matter of 1 WTC and 7 WTC being destroyed and new buildings erected with those addresses. I say that using current names and including notes explaining changes is not preferable to just using contemporary names and addresses. --anon. 71.183.139.60 (talk) 02:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names and addresses of places listed under Filming locations 

message: See WP:NOTSTATSBOOK which, I assert, does apply. A complete listing of sets/locations is utterly trivial: there is no reason why these tidbits ought to be included. A couple of them might be made relevant (like the NYT article), but this list itself is ridiculous. In addition, this is simply not a reliable source, and that the DVD booklet has the information doesn't mean that therefore it is relevant to an article on the film.

replies: text: Do you normally ignore WP:BRD in your interactions with other editors? You know, where one editor makes a bold edit, another reverts, and then they discuss. In your original edit summary you cited WP:NOTSTATSBOOK as justification for deleting most of the filming locations section. I reviewed that guidance, and it clearly does not apply to a list of film locations for a movie notable for its use of New York film locations. Now you've added to your deletion justification that the content "lacks reliable/secondary sourcing"—referring to a website dedicated to New York film locations and the film's director commenting extensively on those locations—while leaving those very sources in place in your edit. Obviously, the identification of film locations is not the most important component of a good film article, but where, when, and how a movie was filmed should be included, especially if the locations played a prominant visual role in the film. Including locations in film articles is fairly common practice, as you can see in Casino Royale, Pride & Prejudice, Transformers, Sense and Sensibility, American Beauty, etc. While I recognize that the presentation and format of the locations in this article could be presented differently within the context of appropriate commentary, there is no reason to delete it simply because the section is not fully developed, or because you find it "utterly trivial". I don't find it trivial. We disagree. WP:BRD is a method for reaching consensus when two editors disagree, right? Let others editors comment, and perhaps another approach will be identified that will improve the section and the article. That should be the goal, after all—to improve the article for readers.

text: *Thank you for linking those sections: they are well-written (they are prose) and well-referenced, and each location mentioned has a particular relevance, as indicated by the reliable secondary sourcing. Yes, that is how things should be done. What we have in this article is nothing but a list of locations, lacking all the things that make the examples you linked relevant ("prominent role" can easily be argued for some of the locations in our article, and you'll note that I left some for which such an argument can be made if the sourcing is available). What those articles have are not STATS. It's not just some inappropriate presentation--it's that there is nothing to present but bare facts that in themselves appear to have no relevance at all, and how that services the reader, I couldn't tell.
