Wikipedia Cleanup

Horses harmed?
[edit]This article Soter Ink, suggests that many horses died during the filming of the movie, probably during the chariot race. Has this rumor ever been substantiated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsarevna (talk • contribs) 20:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Projection speed
[edit]How many frames per second was it filmed at? And is there any way to view it, at that speed, on DVD? How about animated GIF? --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Pagan Rome was at the
zenith of her power.
The tread of her iron
legion shook the world;
and from every land rose
the cries of captive
peoples — — praying for a
deliverer.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In Judea the glory that
was Israel's lay
scattered in the dust —
and Jerusalem the
Golden, conquered and
oppressed, wept in the
shadow of her walls.

The result of the move request was: WP:SNOW not moved (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk) 01:21, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925 film) → Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (film) – Only film just titled Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. 2A02:C7D:564B:D300:7DD7:ADCD:3580:5AF7 (talk) 10:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose; while the nom is correct that this is the only film with that exact name, the name of this film is the name of the 1880 novel, of which there are multiple adaptations. Unless the reader is already very familiar with all of the Ben-Hur versions, they are likely to confuse this film with one of the other adaptations, especially if they are familiar with the title of the novel. This change only serves to confuse readers and serves no practical benefit. InsertCleverPhraseHere 11:34, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. Considering how many films have similar titles, the date is a useful part of disambiguating. Dicklyon (talk) 02:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per the above two comments. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 08:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per all previously submitted votes. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:59, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per Roman Spinner (but not Lugnuts). Randy Kryn 14:05, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Public domain?
[edit]Can it be noted that the film is now in the Public Domain? - 129.242.129.238 (talk) 11:15, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Rotten Tomatoes link
[edit]Why do we need a "See also" link to "List of films with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a film review aggregator website", if the film doesn't have a 100% rating?
(It's already too bad that every film article in Wikipedia has become a RT billboard.) 2A02:AA1:1609:2AC4:652D:278F:BD0A:CCA7 (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
