Talk:The Grateful Dead Movie

message: I think it would be better to leave The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack as a separate article.  A lot of albums by the Dead or by other major bands have their own separate article.  Obviously this one's closely associated with the movie, but that doesn't mean it should be merged.  The Soundtrack article is not that short, and it could be made longer if someone wanted to expand it.  Also, the list of tracks is way different (i.e. longer) than the list of songs that are in the movie.  So, the Soundtrack stands on its own as a separate article.  Meanwhile, the article about The Grateful Dead Movie is just a starter article.  There's a lot more that can be said about the movie, and a lot of sources that can be referenced.  If you look at that Crutchfield Advisor article in the external links, that'll give you some idea of what the Movie article potentially could be like.  In other words, the Movie article should be expanded and improved, but with the main focus being on the movie itself, not the DVD or the CD.  So, I'm thinking separate articles is the way to go. -- Mudwater 14:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, that makes sense.  I just thought I'd propose the merge because maybe one longer article is preferable to two scant ones with repetition.  Interestingly there is a proposal right now to split up Rattle and Hum into two seperate articles -- in that case the album is (I think) better known than the film (although it is shorter and contains fewer songs).Spebudmak 01:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.  Since no one else has said anything about this, I'm going to go ahead and remove the merge suggestion from the articles. -- Mudwater 23:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Cast section

message: After looking over the article, I believe that it should remain as Start class for the time being. The article needs more sources for the statements throughout the article, and would benefit from more expansion if possible. Although it doesn't have to have a plot summary similar to a film, it still should have a basic description of the details in the documentary. Try to incorporate the details from the sources at the bottom into the article and take a look at the Start to B-class template within the film banner above (click on "Show" from the "Improving this article"). Once you have addressed the suggestions there, let me know and I'll take another look. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 21:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the feedback.  "P.S." You tagged the infobox DVD image with the "non-free reduce" template.  Is there a suggested maximum size for DVD images in infoboxes? — Mudwater (Talk) 21:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: One of the dimensions should have a maximum size of 300px, see here. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 22:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good, thanks for the info. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

text: I've replaced the DVD cover image with a smaller one that meets the size criteria.  Thanks again for your help. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:59, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: WP:FILMS B-class assessment request response

message: I have added the correct info on what songs are from what shows. The information previously listed was incomplete and, in a couple of places, incorrect. The info was confirmed by David Lemieux, the Dead's Archivist, and additional info was included based on the DVD commentary by the film's editors. --Dr. Beechwood. 23 July 2015
:Good question.  In general, how do we know which songs are from which night?  Often deaddisc.com has good information about stuff like that, but they don't in this case.  Original video release, Extended DVD release. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:55, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Which songs are from which show? 

message: Hello.  About the percieved multiple issues: (1) Could you please specify here which sources may not be reliable, and why?  They all look good to me, except maybe the Nedbase one, which is a blog (but still appropriate to include here, I believe).  (2) In my opinion, tagging this with both  and  is overkill.  It seems to me that the first of the two -- "This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations." -- is the appropriate one here. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:17, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I only meant to put More footnotes and Unreliable sources, but I guess I pressed the No footnotes option by accident. The page was tagged for having unreliable sources because the article used some sources that weren't very good, such as IMDb, Nedbase, and The Best of Website. About the more footnotes, some sources had footnotes, but some didn't. Chrisnait (talk | contribs) 23:22, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
