Talk:Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

Untitled
why do they make it sound like he worked/studied hard or something...? He actually worked much less hard than the average Asian student, they don't even sleep every day over there, Ben slept every single day. Asides from that he had it good. I have Asian friends who studied more than that in first grade, why aren't they getting movies made about them? And what obstacles did he face...? Being poor? how is that a hinderance from getting good grades when I know homeless kids that get straight A's? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.12.162.67 (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * He was and is truly exceptional; as was his Mother! This movie is truly an exceptional story of courage, talent, and inspiration. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:13, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Reply to above complaints.

This is a description of a movie, sir. You cannot here change the movie - only describe it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.124.167.246 (talk) 02:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Conservatives begin to find the "Gifted Hands" movie
After Dr Carson's speeches at the National Prayer Breakfast and at CPAC, Conservatives begin to discover the movie. Here is one reference: "DID YOU KNOW HOLLYWOOD MADE A MOVIE ABOUT BEN CARSON? WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE" (The eight-minute clip of movie highlights is fun and inspiring! The background of his first surgery is riviting.) — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 10:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC) [Watch the clip]

Time to remove the warning banner?
I don't understand what some editor meant by complaining, in a warning banner, that the article reads like a personal reflection, cites no sources, and is not sufficiently encyclopedic in style. I would vote for removing the banner that makes these puzzling claims. I don't understand what more the article could do to satisfy these demands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaveLeach (talk • contribs) 14:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Remove the objections
2015-01-19 There is no reason for the objections: 1) The Style is fine, it reads like a description of a movie. 2) This page is not about the life of Ben Carson, it is about a MOVIE of the life of Ben Carson. As such, the only reference allowed is the movie itself. There is no need for any other references. 3) There are no personal reflections in the present form of the description. It is just the description of a movie.

I vote: Remove the objections. Marianne Myhre — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.124.167.246 (talk) 02:07, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Are we taking about the citations banner? I think we can remove it. Just go and do it if you think the citations I added are sufficient. --Salimfadhley (talk) 14:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
