Notes from author:

Thank you for reviewing my submission. As I explained to The Mirror Cracked, I did not plagiarize the work but rather obtained it with permission from the studio's press kit. (I used to teach technical writing, so I know a bit about plagiarizing.) The source you found probably got the material from the press kit as well. At any rate, my submission was criticized for looking too much like promotional material, so I have killed all the materials from the press kit and rewritten the submission entirely. I hope it is now satisfactory.

I have no conflict of interest, but I have occasionally been in contact with one of the producers, and they know I am preparing this document. They provided me with a link that amounts to a review copy of the movie.

I have also been in contact with two of the principals, David MacMillan and Dan Phelps, and I have occasionally posted their articles on my blog. I have written articles concerning the Ark Encounter as it was being developed. I do not think that preparing such articles creates a conflict of interest; rather, it has made me expert enough to write this entry. I want to stress that I am proposing a factual encyclopedia article, not a movie review; a movie review might indeed be inappropriate, and I will probably not review the movie on my own blog.

This film may be of some importance, and I highly recommend an entry in Wikipedia. It has shown at many film festivals and is now streamed on several platforms, and it will be shown on PBS in February.

Instead of merging, the better article was deleted

[edit]

I had noted there are two Wikipedia article on this movie and suggested that parts of article B be merged into A.

  • A) The former We Believe in Dinosaurs article is here: [1]. It was the more fully-fledged article. It has been gutted and replaced with a redirect.
  • B) The less-fully-fledged article was We Believe in Dinosaurs (2018 film) That article was moved to this title.

So instead of merging B into A, A was removed and B moved to here. This doesn't seem like an improvement. -- M.boli (talk) 04:32, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have started merging. Also converting to list-defined references. Going from top to bottom. Infobox and lede are done, part-way through synopsis. -- M.boli (talk) 14:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
