Jaws is an American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley. Released on June 20, 1975, it stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town. Regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster and won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars two years later; both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which pursues high box-office returns from action and adventure films with simple high-concept premises, released during the summer in thousands of theaters and advertised heavily.

Third Estate ? National Assembly ?

Re: 1789 - 577 Deputies of the French Third Estate (commoners) took the Tennis Court Oath, starting the French Revolution.

The Third Estate ? I thought the Third Estate ceased to exist three days earlier and was replaced by the National Assembly. No ? -- 64.229.229.120 14:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fathers Day

Could someone change the text saying Father's day in bulgaria to say something like Father's day in several countries, or something similair? If you look at the fathers day article, there are many other countries celebrating fathers day on the same day.

Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 02:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Victoria

The entry reads "staring a reign"—"staring" should be "starting"; it would be appreciated if someone could correct that. Thanks. Janggeom (talk) 02:46, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Ezeiza

I have hidden the caption of the article about the Ezeiza massacre because, as I detailed in the talk page, the accuracy may be under dispute. I could also have erased that, but this would help is the problem is fixed and the caption restored. The article in Spanish is of no help (there is no neutral point of view at all), we should fix it ourselves. If I fix it before June, I will say so here.

Proposal

@Howcheng: I see today Death of Neda Agha-Soltan's article nominated for OTD has Tg and POV issue. I Wonder if you replace it with 1994 Imam Reza shrine bomb explosion which never be nominated for OTD as well as I expanded the article, now is not short. Regards!Saff V. (talk) 10:47, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I had to rewrite a lot of it (not your fault as you are obviously not a native English speaker), but there is one issue in the "Aftermath" section. It's not enough to keep the article out, but you may want to look at it. —howcheng {chat} 16:49, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
