You need to add that he likes feet unironically. This is a travesty that this information is not available here. 24.29.243.127 (talk) 03:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

QT Intro
Quentin Tarantino intro includes an uncited qoute: "the single most influential director of his generation”. To date, I have been unable to find this exact quote referenced anywhere. At present, this quote should be tagged . Looking forclarity (talk) 13:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Typically text in the article lead doesn't have inline citations, per MOS:LEADCITE. If you look under the Appraisals section you'll find two citations for the quotation. Ligaturama (talk) 14:16, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Looking forclarity (talk) 13:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

suggested rewrite on sentence in the intro
"Tarantino's career, his films have garnered a cult following; as well as critical and commercial success, he has been considered "the single most influential director of his generation"."

this reads very weirdly to me. usually a semicolon placed like this implies that the following subsentence will build off the content before the semicolon, but here it seems to go off in another direction. 216.164.249.213 (talk) 20:59, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

"Identifies as having Cherokee descent"
This language is very pointlessly clunky and strange sounding. You don't "identify as" having Cherokee descent, you just have it, the same as any other race/ethnicity. It stands out as a counterproductive attempt at PC language. It especially stands out in the full sentence, "Tarantino identifies as having Cherokee descent through his mother, who is of Irish descent on her other side; his father is of Italian descent." Cherokee heritage is the only one with the "identifies as" added. It isn't claimed that his mother "identifies as having Irish descent" or his father "identifies as having Italian descent."

Proposed rewrite:

"Tarantino is of Cherokee descent through his mother, who is of Irish descent on her other side; his father is of Italian descent."

Alternatively:

"Tarantino has Cherokee descent through his mother, who is of Irish descent on her other side; his father is of Italian descent."

I wasn't sure which one sounded the most natural. Both sound a lot more natural than "identifies as having Cherokee descent," though. 2601:483:4B80:F480:0:0:0:BF0F (talk) 05:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
