Talk:Downton Abbey: A New Era

Plot
Do we have to wait until after the American release to add plot details or can it be done now? Penrithguy (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The plot of the first film was also added right after the UK release (so before the American release), so I don't see why you should wait -  Eve NL 10:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia contains spoilers, people who don't want to see them should avoid articles on the films in question.Sbishop (talk) 10:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

WP:NODISCLAIMERS there is no waiting to add spoiled plot material. It is to be expected that a plot synopsis will spoil story elements, so readers read the articles at their own hazard. That's why spoilers was deleted, as no warnings are needed, spoilers are to be expected. -- 65.92.247.17 (talk) 04:32, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

My first time on a talk page; be gentle. I replaced "Hollywood Hills" with "Hancock Park" in the "Plot" summary because the character specifically says "Hancock Park" to distance himself from the Hollywood community. Further, when the character makes the distinction, he says "Hollywood," not "Hollywood Hills." It was reverted as a "minor detail not key to the plot." Even if true, why revert an accurate minor detail to an inaccurate minor detail? Further, if idea was that identifying Hancock Park as "a wealthy Los Angeles enclave adjacent to Hollywood"—which I did since some might not have heard of Hancock Park—was TMI, then why not keep Hancock Park but delete the identifying information?

 * I think using "Hollywood" is more appropriate as it is regarded as a familiar term referring to the general movie industry located in California, rather than pinpointing to where, specifically, the actor's house is. It is less confusing and readers immediately know where Barrow is going. PNW Raven (talk) 18:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

What year?
Having just watched the movie, I came here to find out what year it took place, but unless I'm missing it, we don't have a "The film, set in 19xx ..." sentence like Downton Abbey (film) does. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:51, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * There has been some earlier editing on this point. It is not wholly clear from the film whether it starts in late 1927 or in 1928. Hence the silence on the matter. Sbishop (talk) 13:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit Dispute
At MapReader's request, I have brought some editing issues to the Talk Page. I made some edits to improve the article. Specifically, I have streamlined wordy phrases, reworked clumsy prepositional phrasing that weakens sentence structure, removed unnecessary details, and used an active voice rather than passive. MapReader continually reverts "all" my edits on the pretense of a vague grammatical issue that he/she does not identify so it cannot be corrected. This appears to be an excuse to protect the article from any changes. I am reverting it again to my last version and suggest that MapReader clearly identify those areas that seem problematic, rather than engage in an "edit war," which is clearly the intention.
