Talk:Mitchell (film)

message: This article is heavily slanted toward the MST3K view of the film. However entertaining that might be, it should be edited to a more neutral point of view. Also, most if not all of the quotes should be moved to Wikiquote (those that aren't there already). Finally, it contains some assertions (BBI editing, JD Baker's threat) that should be backed up by evidence, lest they be removed for being original research. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

text: The above posting is a bit confusing. First, this article was not created in August 2005, but rather on 1 June 2005. By August, it was a substantial article. Second, neither the above IP address nor any similar network address appears in the edit history. (Of course, an anonymous editor can appear at any IP address, but their claims to being the same person cannot be proven. That's one of many reasons why we ask people to register — to get proper credit, per the GFDL license, for their contributions.) In the end, though, Wikipedia is not a collection of humor columns, but an encyclopedia. While humor is encouraged, it must only supplement — not take the place of — verifiable, neutrally written factual information, based on Wikipedia:reliable sources. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:31, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV, quotes, cleanup

message: I've moved the contents of the "MST3K quotes" section to wikiquote:Mystery Science Theater 3000#Mitchell, which is where they belong. (Even there, this collection is rather more substantial than it should be, given copyright concerns.) This article is far too slanted toward the MST3K version as it is. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Mitchellmovieposter.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.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mitchellmovieposter.jpg

message: The article has a section on the film's contemporary critical reception, which is a something that more articles should have. There is a quote from a review by Vincent Canby, which the New York Times helpfully dates to 11 September 1975. The article continues with a quote from the Time Out Film Guide; there is an implication that this was also written in 1975, but it's not explicitly dated. I'm tempted to say that e.g. "Writing much later, the Time Out Film Guide said that etc", but is the guide a collection of original reviews, or was it written much latter (like the All Music Guide, for example)? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 16:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find any clue as to what a "TAM Information drone" is.  Seems to me like Linda Evans was just playing a prostitute who liked oily, doughy guys. 75.91.55.146 (talk) 16:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
