Historical background

[edit]

One of the references being used in the "historical background" section is, at the very least, incomplete and is, in its current state, not useful:

"Item notes". The Economist. The University of California. 1843. pp. v. 286–289.

This is reference #25 and, as you can see, the information provided is not accurate or useful. This needs to be sorted out or removed. Can anyone make any sense of this? ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:45, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recut

[edit]

Should we mention this new recut briefly in the lead? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No. Not in my opinion. At least wait until it has been seen and judged.
Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 16:03, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes - the recut should be mentioned. There's absolutely nothing wrong about mentioning in the lead (with relevant sources) the news about the upcoming recut by Coppola. --82.181.143.171 (talk) 06:14, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I repeat, maybe after it has been seen and reviewed

I agree with Gareth. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:12, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Godfather Part II DVD commentary (2005)

[edit]

In Special:Diff/448514779 (2011-09-05), HangingCurve added: "In his audio commentary for Part II, he stated that only a dire financial situation caused by the failure of New York Stories compelled him to take up Paramount's long-standing offer to make a third installment." with the reference "The Godfather Part II DVD commentary featuring Francis Ford Coppola, [2005]". But in Special:Diff/553573879 (2013-05-05), someone changed this to "[...] the failure of One From The Heart [...]", without touching the reference, so that it is not clear whether the new claim was sourced or not, and it potentially contradicted the source. A contributor in the French WP who listened to the entire audio commentary has said that this was not mentioned. So I have removed the claim in Special:Diff/995355606. Does anyone have additional information? — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 16:48, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-added the sentence, slightly modified, with new sources. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 18:17, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
