thread_title:  bang ≠ beat 

message: is this an example of the book's "ungrammar", or was this really a transitive verb back then?
in modern NYese, one needs to insert an "on": "i rag on...".
also, to rag on is pretty lighthearted/jovial.  not full-on bullying, as is implied here.  2601:19C:527F:A660:9BC:2F16:7C0D:386C (talk) 09:08, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Last Tycoon

message: Even in its unfinished state, The Last Tycoon is regarded by many as Fitzgerald's masterpiece.  It deserves a first-rate article.  This one is really, really bad.  Its interpretations verge on the frivolous and many of the paragraphs appear to have been written by someone for whom English is not his or her native language. 96.232.28.15 (talk) 16:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Title

message: As the article states, Edmund Wilson completed the last chapters of The Last Tycoon using Fitzgerald's notes, roughed-out scenes
and outline. The novel was published in 1941, and Stephen Vincent Benet wrote a famous review championing it for The Saturday Review
of Literature. In part, he wrote:
"The Last Tycoon shows what a really first-class writer can do...it shows the full powers of its author at their height and at their best...
The evidence is in. You can take your hats off now, gentlemen, and I think perhaps you had better. This is not a legend, this is a
reputation--and it may well be one of the most secure of our time."

Talk:Midnight Run

message: The scene in the bar where Grodin's character audaciously demands - and then confiscates - currency on the pretext that the notes are forged and that he's a Federal Agent, echoes a very similar "bluff" scene in the film 48 Hours, where Eddie Murphy's character poses as a police officer (also in a bar).

Talk:Pacific Gas and Electric Company

message: The title of this page is "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" but the sidebar info is for "PG&E Corporation".  There is no page dedicated to "PG&E Corporation".  Compare this with another IOU "Southern California Edison" which clearly states it is a subsidiary of "Edison International".   The page abbreviates "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" as PG&E leading the reader to assume that every fact about PG&E relates to "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" not "PG&E Corporation".  
For example: "In December 2011, the non-partisan organization Public Campaign criticized PG&E for spending $79 million on lobbying and not paying any taxes ..." is referring to PG&E Corporation not "Pacific Gas and Electric Company".  
I came here after hearing about the $50M bonus for the CEO of PG&E Corporation.  Recalling the regulated utility was a subsidiary of the Corp and I wanted to know more about those details.  I.e. does the utility own the transmission lines or the corp? 
I would like to suggest using the terminology from the latest bankruptcy (https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/pge/).  Referring to the entities as either PG&E Corporation ("PG&E Corp."), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Utility"; or together with PG&E Corp. as "PG&E").  Depending on what the facts or narrative applies to.   Pastel Abyss (talk) 04:12, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some searching, and I have not found any sources distinguishing between the Corporation (holding company) and the Company.  It is possible that the only subsidiary of the Corporation is the Company, and that it is a holding company as a sort of legal shield for shareholders, or other legal distinction.  I haven't found any sources that talk about what other entities the Corporation owns OTHER than the Company.  And this status may have changed over the years.  We need a recent (post 2020 bankruptcy) source which outlines these differences, but I haven't been able to find one. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:48, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

message: If an article nominally about a forgotten movie starring Roseanne is going to be turned into a "victims' rights" screed, the grammar could at least be a little better.

Oh, damn. That's harsh, but true. "Most perplexing movie of all time?" I heard it was rather... well, bad. And can a spoiler templatet be put on the page? That totally ruined the movie for me.

message: This article states: "The film was not a box-office hit, with a result of US$53 million." While U.S. box office was indeed $53 million, the worldwide total was $87 million (as indicated in the sidebar). It is a bit hard to fathom how it cost $50 million to make as it didn't have expensive special effects or tremendously expensive looking sets, but it did appear to clear almost $40 million worldwide so it was pretty successful in the end. We've always liked it - in fact, better than the Bogart-Holden-Hepburn version (although we admit William Holden's performance is very good).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.131.188 (talk) 19:13, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
