Protect page?

Seeing as there seems to be users intent on adding the Chris Rock and Will Smith incident, despite the edits being reverted with the reason being it has nothing to do with the curse, might it make sense to at least temporarily put protection on the article?

The reverts appear to have been incorrect, and now it's properly cited, so probably no need. JackHahne (talk) 09:19, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes to the page have now been "memed" [1] on social media so it wouldn't surprise me if there are more edits incoming, but it doesn't appear protection is warranted at this time. You can alsways file a report at requests for page protection if it there is ongoing edit warring or vandalism. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:35, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subheadings on "Historical mishaps"

I'm planning to add subheadings to the Historical Mishaps section of the article itself. It will be categorized like this:
3. Histocical Mishaps
3.1. 1849 Astor Place Riot
3.2. Death of Harold Norman
3.3. 1964 D. Maria II National Theater fire
3.4. (not sure what will this be called, but it's about the film Opera being affected)
3.5. Death of Bantcho Bantchevskey
3.6. (not sure what will this be called, but it's about Alex Wolff telling Ari Aster not to say the play's name)
3.7. Will Smith-Chris Rock Slapping Incident

Any suggestions / ideas? Weareblahs (talk) 13:19, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hamilton

The curse is referenced in the musical Hamilton, in the song "Take a Break" the title character says "I hope you'll understand my reference to another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play. / They think me Macbeth..." This song is immediately followed by "Say No To This", the beginning of the Reynolds affair that ruins Hamilton's career, implying that the character's use of the Scottish Lord's name here actually does invoke the curse. Should this be included in this article? 144.121.150.162 (talk) 15:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
