EL policy vio
The excessive number of External links violated Wikipedia policy at WP:EL, which states:

"'Some external links are welcome ... but it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a lengthy or comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable according to this guideline and common sense. The burden of providing this justification is on the person who wants to include an external link.'"

Please read also at WP:EL the section "Minimize the number of links." In practice, ELs are generally limited to five or six links. Again, please read the bluelinked EL guidelines before adding or reinserting ELs.--207.237.230.157 (talk) 22:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Criticism
A "Criticism" section needs to be added to this article to critique the biased and false reporting in the documentary film "We Steal Secrets", which has already been used to defame Julian Assange on NPR. Investigation should be initiated and pursued into what other biased and false reporting may have been engaged in by Gibney in his other ventures. ---Dagme (talk) 00:44, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

"... his newest documentary, Citizen K..."
The current version of this page (2020-10-30 8:58PM UTC) reads "In 2019 he released his newest documentary, Citizen K..." However, Gibney has since made Crazy, Not Insane, Agents of Chaos, and Totally Under Control.

What, then, is the basis for calling Citizen K his "newest" film? Is the distinction that this is Gibney's most recent film to receive a theatrical release rather than a primary release on a television network or streaming service? That Gibney is only a co-director of Agents of Chaos and Totally Under Control? That Crazy, Not Insane has yet to premiere on HBO? Something else?

I recommend this passage be edited for clarity or updated to account for one or more of these even newer documentaries.

 * It's just that no-one has updated that section of the lead since those other documentaries were released. I suggest you simply remove the word "newest". -Lopifalko (talk) 11:00, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
