Top film lists

edit

The copyrights of the "top film" lists are probably owned by the BFI, and that organization holding a Royal Charter, this may well be Crown Copyright. In any case, we should probably remove them as copyright infringements. They're available on the BFI site to anyone who wants to see them. --Tony Sidaway 14:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

The last list in the article was incorrectly labeled as the "Top Films of the Past 25 Years (2002 List)." The list is labeled on the magazine's website as the "Critic's Top Ten Poll" for 2002. I've fixed the title. TennysonXII (talk) 05:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

In addition to being copyright violations, these lists are off topic. This article is about Sight & Sound: what it is, its history and influence, etc. Regurgitating its material is not what this article is about. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:12, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

So, anyway, since the lists are copyrighted, shouldn't they be removed? Trivialist (talk) 22:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Split article

edit

I want to split this article into an article on the poll and another article on the magazine. Responses? JoshuSasori (talk) 23:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think this is sensible. There are specific articles for the last two polls. Sudiani (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
This is not only sensible but necesarry, the sections of the different polls are bigger than parts about the magazine itself BJI904000 (talk) 01:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Misplaced paragraph

edit

This paragraph is misplaced under the heading The Sight & Sound Poll of the Greatest Films of All Time:

Sight & Sound has in the past been the subject of criticism, notably from Raymond Durgnat, who often accused it of elitism, puritanism and snobbery, although he did write for it in the 1950s, and again in the 1990s.[3][4] The magazine's American counterpart is Film Comment, a magazine published by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City.[5] It has also been accused of populism in recent years.[6]

Sight & SoundSight and Sound – The magazine did away with the ampersand on its cover since the September 2021 issue. Now the website refers to it as "Sight and Sound". So do NYT, Guardian, BBC, Telegraph, Independent, Vulture, CBS, and Vox. Nardog (talk) 00:26, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is correct. The title should be Sight and Sound, without the ampersand. SoCal01 (talk) 01:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sight and Sound poll navbox deleted

edit

There is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#Template:Sight_and_Sound_Poll about the deletion of the navbox. This page was not notified that the deletion attempt was even in progress, a discussion closed with little discussion after input from three editors (two to delete, with easily debatable reasoning, and one to keep). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:15, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
