Please do not revert correct citations to incorrect earlier formats. "TBD" is not relevant to anything; the film is not on the schedule for the New York Film Festival, and "to be decided" is not a venue. Information must be documented with reliable and verifiable sources. WP:V#Sources. The prevailing format of this article is full citations (author, title, publication, date of publication, date accessed): WP:CITE. --NYScholar 00:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"References" vs. "External links"

[edit]

Please see WP:CITE. "External links" are "for further reading" links ONLY, and are separate and distinct from sources used as references for the article itself.

Also, let's please watch the WP:PEACOCK words and phrases. --69.22.254.111 20:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed copyright violations (WP:Copyvio) added by another user (also previously removed for same reason). Links to copyright-protected content posted on self-published websites without permission are not permissible in Wikipedia. The sources are already listed properly in References section (interview). See the editorial interpolation where the items have been removed for this reason. --NYScholar 18:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not an advertisement for the film

[edit]

This is an encyclopedia article, not an advertisement or promotional feature article for the film. Statements need documentation with sources that meet WP:V#Sources and that are consistent with the prevailing documentation format in this article; for help, please see WP:CITE and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Please see WP:Advert. Please don't add spam. Thank you. --NYScholar 16:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the Plot?

[edit]

Most movie entries on Wikipedia have a plot section that summarizes the film. Why doesn't this one? 74.216.112.250 (talk) 23:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

        I second that, where is the plot? Engti (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review section is inaccurate/biased

[edit]

The review section of this article is inaccurate. It gives many positive reviews from famous sources, but only quotes one negative review. It does reference Rotten Tomatoes, where the film is 36% rotten. It also does not reference Metacritic. These two websites are the most commonly used sources for film reviews one wikipedia. While it is okay to quote positive reviews, this article is very selective. Almost too selective. The one negative review that is quoted has the word "Bomb" bolded to identify it as a bombed review. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sleuth/ If someone could please edit this, that would be great. I went ahead and marked the section as not being neutral. Mwolvesto50 (talk) 05:37, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you obviously took the time to do some research, you could've always *cough* edited it yourself. Jg2904 (talk) 09:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"BOMB" should indeed not be bolded, but it should be retained as ALL CAPS because that is the actual rating Maltin uses, BOMB in all caps.Porterhse (talk) 20:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to the Rotten Tomatoes info? I put it back in, took out a positive review from some obscure San Diego rag, and put a couple "negative" reviews (not that they're that negative) in there to balance the positive ones.Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 06:05, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
