Talk:Second unit

Merge suggestion

The articles second unit and second unit director appear to have been written completely independently and contain duplicate information about what a second unit is. I see no reason for them not to be merged. 207.176.159.90 00:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Issues with the article

There are several issues i see and will bring here for discussion or for notice before i start to resolve them:

• A huge portion of the article is a sea of blue wlinks; i suspect many are duplicates, though i've not looked yet, and these should be reduced (MOS:OVERLINK);
• For such a massive list of people ~ potentially many BLP subjects ~ there are almost no references;
• There is a huge over-representation within the article of a list of second unit directors: On my screen, there is one screen actually about the subject (second unit), a further partial screen on the topic of second unit directors, and just about thirteen screens of lists of directors; in my book this is a ridiculous ratio, and the lists should be reduced;
• In addition to the lists being reduced, it surely isn't necessary to state every film a second unit director worked on, especially if we wlink to their articles, where that information belongs.

As i say, i will start to repair these problems, but i have come here first in case anyone has a dramatically opposed point of view ~ Lindsay^Hello 11:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
