Rename The Last Man (2000) to (2002)

I was beginning to wonder about the release-to-theater date of this movie.

Several sources list it as being in April of 2000. These are the ones that seem to rely on Wikipedia for their data.

Others refer to the film as The Last Man (2000), but then have a February 22, 2002 release date, such as IMDb^[1], Rotten Tomatoes^[2] and AllMovie.^[3]

Finally, there are those source which state definitively that the movie was released in 2002. For instance, a critic's review in The New York Times, dated February 15, 2002 states, "...which opens today at the Village East (Second Avenue at 12th Street, East Village)."^[4] A critic at The Village Voice also featured an opening date of February 15, 2002.^[5] New York Post published a review dated February 15, 2002, and like The New York Times, mentions the Village East theater.^[6] Even TV Guide jumps in, calling the film The Last Man, 2002.^[7]

In light of all this evidence, particularly that coming from very reliable sources, I am renaming this to The Last Man (2002)

Festival release dates before going on general release might be the reason for the confusion. Also if you're going to rename the page don't forget to also change the article text too. -- 109.79.70.137 (talk) 14:45, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And that's why editors like you are needed, to catch those little contratemps. Or whatever. Should have seen this page before I got to it. — Myk Streja ^(beep) 03:17, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested re-assessment

I put in a request to have the article re-assessed now that it's no longer a stub. I thought about just putting it up to Start Class myself, just to get it off the mark, but I think I'll just wait and do this right. For now, I think I've done enough heavy lifting, and I'll just snipe at it for a time. Or not, my OCD has been talking to me again. (Now, where did I put those meds?) — Myk Streja ^(beep) 04:07, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As you may have already realized it takes a long time to get any response to those kinds of requests. If I were you I'd self assess the article, you should definitely have upgraded it to Start class already, it easily meets those requirements. It is possibly C class, but it is clearly missing a Production section with any kind of details on the making of the film so others might not agree that it was C class yet. -- 109.79.70.137 (talk) 14:45, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@109.79.70.137: I thought about that, but it's not even been a month yet. I'm generally a patient man. I gotta question for you: you changed all the {{ubl}} to {{unbulleted list}}. Not that it matters, and I won't change it back, but ... why? {{ubl}} is listed as a legitimate shortcut on the template documentation after all. Just curious. If you answer this, please {{ping}} me? — Myk Streja ^(beep) 03:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
