Inaccurate

edit

The caption is wrong. The sword in the image is not Inigo Montoya's. It's the one Count Rugen used. Inigo's sword is a lot more ornate.

Just letting you all know. I'll let someone else correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:9200:6160:D05:C4A1:7DC5:C72 (talk) 19:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

  •   Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, but "got rave reviews" is not exactly encyclopedic, and also doesn't appear in the article. In the article, I changed "got good reviews" to "received positive reviews". Yoninah (talk) 19:26, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Yoninah: Thanks for your helpful changes to the article. Based on your input, I changed the final sentence of the lead to summarize more info from the body: "More than 110,000 viewers donated a dollar or more to Wisconsin Democrats to view the livestream, which raised $4.25 million and received widely positive reviews, with special praise for the performance of Mandy Patinkin." How about
I chose that hook because it seemed notable to me that the same actor performing the same role 33 years later inspired wide enthusiasm from reviewers. Here is another, and it seems a shame not to use Patinkin's picture, which was taken by User:Bearian. HouseOfChange (talk) 20:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
thumb|Six-fingered glove and prop sword from the film Wait, how about this? HouseOfChange (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
People (e.g. AV Club) call it the "six-fingered sword" (5,000 Google hits) because William Goldman called it that and because Inigo Montoya's father made it for the six-fingered man, the man who wore the six-fingered glove. I can easily change the caption on the image at Commons, considering that I created that image by cropping a Flickr photo somebody uploaded. Or we could change the hook to say "prop sword" instead of "six-fingered sword" -- both are correct. HouseOfChange (talk) 21:53, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
