Wikipedia facilitating copyright violation?
[edit]I'm pretty sure the leaked script is not in the public domain. Is there some rule against linking to the leaked script? If so, should that part of the article be removed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.224.125.167 (talk) 19:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Fixed I agree. I removed the reference's that linked to the website that has pages of the script posted, though I think that the 'Leaked Script' section should stay because it is notable, though I will remove the references that link to websites that have posted actual parts of the script to the public domain (but I think it's okay to leave links that mention parts of the script not indirectly).
Major editing needed
[edit]I just read a couple of non-consecutive sections of the article, and both were overwhelmed by spelling and grammar problems. It would appear instances of the word "though" are lacking the g-h, and I noticed several misplaced possessive apostrophes as well. These are but a few examples among many. Furthermore, (unconfirmed) spoilers for an unfinished movie probably should be removed as well. A plot summary is one thing, but giving away the resolutions of these points goes a bit too far, in my opinion.Aoystreck (talk) 03:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Aoystreck, thanks for contributing to helping make this article better. You also said that these three problems are among others, If you could, could you please cite other problems with this page so that I could fix them.
- Spelling and grammar (notably 'though' and apostrophe's),
Done - I spell checked the entire article and I think that I corrected all the spelling mistakes, and the apostrophes.Ashley92995 (talk) 18:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Spoliers, -
Not done I do agree, that saying to much about scenes being filmed is a give away, but I think that occasionally mentioning what type of a scene is being filmed should be noted, for example; mentioning when and where they filmed scene's with what cast members, and occasionally mention a notable set-up or notable scene being filmed.Ashley92995 (talk) 18:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Plot summary - I'm not sure if you cited this as a problem, but think that the 'plot section' has a reasonable amount of information (and plot points throughout the development and writing section) because both cast and crew released this information to the public domain, via interviews, statements - etc, so I think that it should be mention, because if the information wasn't suppose to be known then they wouldn't have stated it.

- The image; captions; strange grammar" and punctuation; have
DoneI feel confident that I corrected this problem, I removed and changed images for 'the image' problem, re-worded photo captions for 'captions' and 'strange grammer', and the photo captions for 'punctuation'.

- Maybe [1]SOME[2] of[3] the 200[4] references[5]could be[6] pruned? Please? Some people actually want to read the text. Thanks!
- "It was reported that Dubai (which is in the United Arab Emirates) will serve as a location in, and or for, the film." Could you please look again? There is much more. I think I just don't have the time, and or, nerves to do this myself... ;-) -- megA (talk) 10:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Done I corrected the Dubai location in the 'locations' section.Ashley92995 (talk) 18:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- According to WP:SOURCE and WP:SPS, blogs and self-published web sites are not reliable sources for an article. This would account for a large number of references and statements in this article. -- megA (talk) 16:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Too many footnotes
[edit]The article has too many footnotes in the lead section and the infobox. I suggest removing them and just ensuring that the items in the article body have these footnotes. Erik (talk | contribs | wt:film) 19:28, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- This is still an issue! I ask Crystal Clear x3 to clean up this excess. Erik (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
