Whitewashing in film

[edit]

Lately a new editor has several times removed the Whitewashing in film link on the grounds that "The movie's name doesn't even appear on the list in the linked article". I for one believe such a link has valid application here, MANAA well-documented as loudly criticizing the filmmakers for the practice. Thoughts? BusterD (talk) 10:33, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

while it is true that whitewashing has happened in this film, the reverse is also true. Bae Doona, for example, played white and latino women in this film while the concept of the story makes it easier for people to understand the link between characters if the same person played all the characters that are interlinked between stories. 165.225.80.74 (talk) 09:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalising "The" in "The Wachowskis"

[edit]

WanderingWanda, I happened to see this edit. It sounds insane to me - where is the discussion that led to the consensus you mention? I've searched the archives on the Wachowskis page but can't find anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popcornduff (talkcontribs) 04:32, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1. This old RfC for The Matrix: for the purposes of the lead...There also seems to be consensus, without any opposition, in favour of capitalising "The". So I make the consensus form "The Wachowskis".
2. This recent RfC for all Wachowski films: For all articles about films/media they worked on before they came out as women, there is strong consensus to refer to the writers/directors of The Matrix and other films as The Wachowskis (Option A) in the lead of articles and a consensus to refer to them by that name in an infobox.
See also The Matrix UHD cover, which says: written and directed by The Wachowskis.
(However, I'll add that I don't feel strongly about it, and capitalization was not really the primary focus of the recent RfC discussion. One could make the case that it shouldn't be capitalized per MOS:CAPS: Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization.) WanderingWanda (they/them) (t/c) 05:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this detailed reply. I've started a discussion here: Talk:The_Matrix_(franchise)#"The_Wachowskis"_or_"the_Wachowskis". Popcornduff (talk) 04:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
