Article is talking about two different jackets

[edit]

There are two completely different jackets being discussed in this article, but referred to as if they are the same jacket. The article is presumably meant to be about the iconic red jacket with the V design shown in the picture, but the M logo is actually on the high school letter jacket he's wearing in the opening werewolf segment that is eventually revealed to be a movie that MJ and Ola Ray are watching. The Christine Gledhill quote is also clearly talking about the outfit in the werewolf segment (letterman jacket, slicked down hair, pegged jeans - he's meant to look like like a teenager in a Roger Corman movie).

Just to further complicate matters, "many zips" is actually a better description of the equally iconic, equally red jacket from the "Beat It" video. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this article, because I don't have enough other knowledge of the jacket to replace all the info that would be deleted, but surely it's out there, it's a pretty important piece of pop culture.

Semi-protected edit request on 3 November 2019

[edit]

"Leaving Neverland" section of article is inaccurate. The article needs editing. These fucking Nazis are reversing my edits for no fucking reason Jackson1122 (talk) 06:37, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Please be specific with your requests. Also you need to be aware of WP:NPA (i.e. knock off the insults) and WP:SOCK (since this is your first edit on this account).

"Leaving Neverland" section of the article is not correct. It says that Wade Robson sold the jacket to an auction house in 2011, but the actual citation does not verify this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.83.125 (talk) 16:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
