Passage

This has been addressed, and I don't see any other major problems with the article. It passes. Daniel Case 05:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

Searching "heavy traffic" redirects to Traffic Congestion rather than, you know, the article titled Heavy Traffic. Someone fix this, I don't know how/am lazy. 70.44.178.86 (talk) 07:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed by changing redirect to a WP:DAB page. Walter Siegmund (talk) 13:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correctional Edit

I just watched this movie and found 2 problems with this article: 1, Micheal states there was no nuclear war and 2 the distant future was 1 million years. So I corrected the article. 71.205.232.199 (talk) 09:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Offensive or politically correct for the 70's?

The first time that I saw the Wikipedia article for the Nutshack it referred to Cherry pie as a transvestite. That word is now considered offensive. Then I went to the page for the movie heavy traffic and it also used that word. I did not really care. Then about a year later the page for the nutshack was changed to replace the word transvestite with Trans woman but why didn't the heavy traffic article get changed. Can somebody please explain to me why offensive terms like this are allowed on Ralph bakshi rea later pages? Emiship'05 (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To your first question: there isn't some bot, admin, or user that goes through every single Wikipedia article to ensure language is not offensive (or even streamlined) throughout - it is entirely up to individual editors on each page. Furthermore, transvestite and trans woman are not synonymous: the first refers to someone who dresses in clothing of the opposite sex, the second refers to someone who was assigned a different gender at birth than they identify with now. It seems clear that the former term is the more accurate one vis-a-vis this article/film. To your second question: Again, it is up to individual editors on each page, and if you feel that the word transvestite should be replaced with something less offensive, the prerogative would be on interested readers/editors such as you to WP:be bold and do it, presuming you do so accurately. As I mentioned, those two words do not mean the same thing - perhaps "cross-dresser" would work, per GLAAD guidelines. I should also mention that Wikipedia is WP:notcensored and we need to go off of what is WP:verifiable - given that the film itself is/was considered offensive to some for a number of reasons, it stands to reason the article might be too, if it is descriptive and accurate enough. This isn't necessarily an argument that we NEED to leave the article with the "offensive" term, but that there is an argument to leave it in if that is how the character is definitively described in the film. I have not seen the film and cannot readily find a transcript available, so I can't say one way or the other. I would not be opposed to using the term "cross-dresser" if there are no objections, but I strongly argue against using "trans woman" given that it would likely be inaccurate. As for Nutshack, I'm guessing it was changed there because the character actually is a trans woman rather than transvestite, but I don't know. Also, no need to go overboard with the wikilinks.
