Reception?

Do we want to add early reception for the movie from Tellurude or do we just wait until it's out in theatres?--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 18:28, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Should a quote from the film's distrubutor praising the director be in the release section? I have concerns that this is makes the article look like an advertisement, however an IP editor strongly opposes it's removal. --Deathawk (talk) 05:00, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

I agree with you that it does not belong. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. The chairman's quote is a biased quote, and while biased quotes can have a place (such as it being acceptable to quote a director responding to negative reviews), there is no suitable context for it here. It is simply a distributor playing up their purchase. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:25, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Remove - I don't think it is particularly appropriate either, but more to the point I don't see why it is notable. A film reviewer or someone giving an award would be, but why is the distributor's chairman's opinion worthy of inclusion? -- Whats new?^(talk) 05:48, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Remove - Agree with what is said, the quote appears to be too bias. Also agree that the chairman saying this doesn't seem very notable, not like a review or something praising her.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 22:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Remove - Not appropriate as it is not a Neutral Point of View DrkBlueXG (talk) 22:43, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Remove - Cruft. Wwwhatsup (talk) 17:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Remove - I don't oppose a comment from a distributor on principal, but this particular case is very hyperbolic. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:09, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Production section

I really hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes by doing this, but I have restored an older version of the production section that I had worked on. Back in September I was working on the page when an IP editor began disputing my edits. I tried to work with them, although it became increasingly apparent that they were not open for collaborating. They've made plenty of edits over the ensuing months on this page, until the page was locked, for what I presume this IP's behavior. Given the circumstance I decided to restore my old version, as the IP address was the only person who objected to my edits. If someone has a problem with this action, they are free to revert this action. I am just trying to do what's right for this article. --Deathawk (talk) 09:32, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Release date, plot up top and Limited debut

Per Wiki rules on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film, the infobox should only include the premiere and country of production (US). Also, while the plot has its own section in article, the entire article should be summarized up top, including synopsis and review summaries. These are laid out on the Wiki Film article template page, and any desires to go against the grain should be addressed here.

Also, the film’s limited debut resulted in the best theater average for a female director, not overall limited debut. It’s stated in the source. TropicAces (talk) 15:49, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 November 2017

National Board of Review 189.209.30.179 (talk) 03:53, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

 Not done. There are three questions that need to be answered in most of these edit requests. What text in the article is not acceptable? What should it be changed to? What source will we use? You didn't answer any of these questions. CityOfSilver 05:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Top 10?

Do we maybe want to start (or in a bit, when more lists come out), want to put a section for "top 10" lists in which Lady Bird appears? Like the NBR and the AFI and the other lists it's appeared on? It might tidy the awards section a bit.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 18:20, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Unexplained reversion and accusation

I have been twice reverted without explanation by TheOldJacobite – once without explanation and once on the basis that I am using "dubious logic". The only edits I made were minor stylistic changes entirely pursuant to MOS:DATE, MOS:COMMA, MOS:CURLY, and MOS:NBSP. Why is this, TheOldJacobite? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 18:54, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
