The Bond franchise

[edit]

Hi Mikegodat- I notice that you have changed the opening sentence on multiple James Bond franchise films to 'British-American'. While it is broadly accepted that they are British films, that is not really the point. Believe it or not, there is often debate around this exact issue. I am sure you're acting in good faith so thought I'd let you know how to go about making these changes if that is what you would like to do. Normal procedure is to start a discussion on the article's talk page and make your case for changing it to what you think it should be. Changing the description of arguably the most famous of all British film franchises to describe them as something fundamentally different without recourse to discussion is not the way things are supposed to work. When changing the status quo, revert to the talk page and seek consensus from other editors for your point of view. Please don't revert back but do of course feel free to start new sections in the talk pages. Hope that's all OK and thanks! NEDOCHAN (talk) 09:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
