Talk:Backdraft (film)

message: The plot section needs some serious editing; I've changed a bit but it needs a more fully-fleshed out modification, as well as separating the cast out into a shortened bios section.  Right now it reads like a mixture of both, elements of the plot intermingled in no timeline-logical order.  I'll see what I can do here when time allows.  Evixir (talk) 03:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

message: :Image:Backdraft.png 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: In the plot section the two names Steven and Stephen are mentioned. Are they both of the same person or two different ones, because I think it's an error. - 222.164.81.26 (talk) 12:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Most of the trivia section is copy-pasted from the IMDB trivia page.  It should either be deleted outright or reworded and properly sourced.--Davidwiz (talk) 05:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:3475904152.jpg

message: This article should have a paragraph on how this film suffers from a serious lack of realism. I would really appreciate some help with finding quotable sources. In this movie, fire has some conscious quality that is influenced by showing fear or not, as if it was some kind of animal. But fire never produces any smoke. Consequently, firefighters hardly ever use breathing apparatuses. They wander onto burning factory floors all alone. They use elevators in the midst of large blazes. They enter burning rooms just to smash furniture like they were a martial arts club overdosed on drugs. Etcetera. It find it appalling to the point to think this movie must have had a detrimental effect on a whole generations views on what a building fire is and on how firefighting works. -- Theoprakt (talk) 22:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm reasonably sure tvtropes isn't considered a reliable source. The fact that the link contains "wiki" isn't encouraging. Doniago (talk) 13:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
