thread_title: Release date

message: Perhaps someone should add a section comparing the book to the film.
:I've added a section header for now. If anyone wishes to expand, please do so. Also check if the information is correct before adding. -- Britishagent 17:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I posted that before but I wasnt signed in. If I have some spare time I'll expand on whats there.
Here's a BIG difference.
In the series, Sabina Pleasure doesn't appear until Skeleton Key.
Alex meets her at Wimbledon.
She does not attend his school.
EVER.
Also, Nadia Vole never has a fight with Jack Starbright.
Jack Starbright plays a very small role in the book.  I haven't seen the movie, but I'm assuming her role is much larger in the movie than in the book.
I saw no mention of the four wheelers that Alex has to escape in the book.
Alex doesn't inject Mr. Grin with truth serum in the book, he threatens him with a gun.
Yes, a gun.
Does Alex almost shoot off the Prime minister's hand in the movie?
Does Alex go through that tunnel with water and whatnot? Sayle had no backup plan in the book... at all.
There was one button that activated the computers and the virus.
Alex shot the button.  (And almost shot the prime minister.)
herrod sayle's name was changed to Derrios Sayle in the movie
Could Alex's cover name have been changed because of similarity with Felix leighter of James Bond? Rincewind32 (talk) 13:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: It probably deserves a mention in the second paragraph. It doesn't warrant it's own section. -- Britishagent 05:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Editors of the Stormbreaker film page are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

message: The lists of "Differences between book and film," "References and similarities to other films or the books," and "Errors and inconsistencies" take up almost half the article, and are mostly unencyclopedic trivia. Jibjibjib 09:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Breaker2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: This is getting quite tedious, but the IP editor needs to stop removing reliably sourced information from the article.  Blanking content like this will only result in a block.  We do not privilege one reliable source over another; when they disagree, we report the results as a range.  To report only one value is cherrypicking and undue weight. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:28, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely agree the onus was on the IP to argue the case (on the talk page) for not using the source. If a source is considered "reliable" the onus is on the editor who wants to exclude it to provide a valid reason. Betty Logan (talk) 06:56, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've apologized to the IP editor for edit warring and invited him/her to join the discussion.  I don't think IP editors can get pinged.  Hopefully, the page protection will encourage a bit of discussion. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:07, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

text: After a bit of prodding by Tokyogirl79, it looks like The Numbers updated their gross.  It's still a bit off from Box Office Mojo, but it's much more in line with other estimates.  I hope that this will end the edit warring. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:15, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm of the opinion that in a young adult action film, where the wiki article is likely to be read by the target audience, there's no need for scientific nomenclature when the reader is unlikely to know - or care - what it is.
The Man o' War is known as a jellyfish, and there's no reason to confuse the readers by stating otherwise. Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
