Blanking citations in Lost in Translation (film)

I'm not sure why you're blanking citations in Lost in Translation (film), but please don't do that again. WP:INFOBOXREF is clear that citations in infoboxes are OK, and they are necessary when the information is not cited anywhere else in the article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:59, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate:Thanks for the note. To verify, are you referring to the citation of AFI for the United States and Japan being listed as countries associated with the film? That one I did remove in good faith as I believed it was cited variously in the "Filming" and "Marketing" sections of the article as a film that was produced and distributed by Americans, in the location of Japan with a Japanese production crew (for example, the first sentence of the second paragraph of "Filming"). I did also clean up some errors in the edit including the total box office performance (per the Box Office Mojo source) and the primary language of the film, per Template:Infobox film. I am however happy to put the AFI source back in for optimum clarity. Do you mind if I restore my original edit if I add the AFI citation back in? NTox · talk 04:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

The countries have to be explicitly sourced. Filming locations and the nationality of the production crew are immaterial; using them to determine the country of production is original research. It looks like you were last active in 2014, which was kind of a different era. English Wikipedia is more strict on sourcing now. Box Office Mojo clearly says the gross was $118.7 million, which means I probably should have been more careful about restoring an incorrect value. Thank you for point out my error there. For whatever reason, there are many IP editors who go around vandalizing the numbers in film infoboxes. That's one of the reasons why I pay so much attention to infobox edits, which is a bit ironic in this circumstance, I suppose. Sorry that messing that up. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:11, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: Thanks for your help. I'm glad we are both interested in making the content as accurate as possible! A couple other corrections I did make in that edit was removing Japanese under the language paramater. As you know, per Template:Infobox film, it says the only language listed should be the primary/main language spoken (which in this case is English; only a handful of dialogue is Japanese). The documentation says the BBFC website is a good source for verifying that. BBFC lists the main language for Lost in Translation as "English" only (under "Details").[1] I also replaced the source for the film's runtime, as the current citation is broken. The info box documentation recommends also using the BBFC source linked above for the runtime, using the time of the movie's primary original premiere as listed under the site's "Feature" tab, which in this case was the theatrical film version, 102 minutes. In the future, I will be sure to be very clear about such changes in edit summaries. If I cite the BBFC in the infobox for both of those, do you mind if I restore those factual corrections?

Lost in Translation FAC

Hello again! Good luck with your FAC. I no longer do reviews so I will unfortunately not be any help with the FAC. However, I wanted to reach out and wish you well with the process. Aoba47 (talk) 04:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

@Aoba47: Thanks so much, Aoba27. Your comments were very helpful and valued during the peer review. I look forward to going through the FAC process for the first time and hope we have more opportunities to work together in the future. NTox · talk 20:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

1989 (Taylor Swift album) peer review

Hi, good job with your Lost in Translation FAC and good luck with your nomination! Just wondering if you could input some comments at this peer review. I want non-music editors to point out prose issues, especially regarding POV/neutrality, so that the article can reach its highest quality possible. Regards, HĐ (talk) 09:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@HĐ: Thanks again for your support of the article. I appreciate you reaching out about the Taylor Swift album page. I will make an effort to leave some comments soon. I should note that I am still very new to the FAC and peer review processes, and I am not very familiar with Swift or the album, so I think my comments may not be as valued as others, but I will try to look it over soon.

FAC trade

Hi there. Couldn't help but notice you've got Lost in Translation (film) nominated for FAC. I've got a film article nominated at the moment as well: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Do you think your nomination needs more reviews? And if so is there any chance you'd like to trade reviews? No worries if not, I may end up reviewing yours anyway, I'm just hoping to find someone who would be willing to review mine in return. I'm sure you're aware how hard it is to get reviewers at FAC. If you're interested I'd be happy to do my review first if you like. I will be thorough and won't necessarily support unless I believe it meets the criteria, and obviously expect the same. Let me know if you're interested. Have a lovely day in any case. Damien Linnane (talk) 05:27, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

@Damien Linnane: Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate your interest in reviewing the Lost in Translation article. It seems it is currently in need of an additional review or two, and an image review. I would appreciate any honest feedback you have there and then I am happy to give any honest comments I have about your Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story FAC. I should note that I am still very new to the FAC process (LIT is my first foray into FAC), and I am unfamiliar with the film, so I believe my comments may not be as strong as others', but I would do as I can. NTox · talk 04:48, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Well I must say you've done a remarkable job for a first attempt. I've just finished my review. Happy to hear any comments you have about Dragon. Damien Linnane (talk) 14:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey just thought I'd bring this up again :). If you've got time for comments I'd appreciate it, but no worries if not. Congrats on your nomination being promoted btw. Damien Linnane (talk) 13:01, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

@Damien Linnane: Thanks for the reminder. I don't want to keep you hanging much longer. I have some time today and tomorrow to do a readthrough. Stay tuned and thanks for your words about LIT. NTox · talk 19:30, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

@Damien Linnane: I was able to read through the article tonight. Keep watch for comments on the FAC page soon. NTox · talk 07:04, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
