Halloween
I'm sorry for making the mistake on the template, I didn't know that parodies shouldn't be included. I added it becase the template was on the article and I found the article on the [Category:Halloween (franchise)] page. Also, could I ask why parodies arn't included, their existence relies entirely on the film they are parodying, is it because they are not official? If that is the case I assume fanfilms should never be included either.&#42;Treker (talk) 13:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Friday the 13th, the Series Episode Guide: no sources needed!
Hi there. Wikipedia policy on sources clearly states that sources and references are not needed for plot summaries, the work being summarized is considered to be the only necessary source. Therefore, the "need sources" flag which bots periodically automatically place at the head of the episode guide should be removed and not replaced. This issue has been discussed on the episode guide's TALK page. If you have questions or comments about this, please post them there. Thank you. HandsomeMrToad (talk) 08:49, 16 June 2016 (UTC)


 * 1. You replied to my personal TALK page; this discussion should be occurring on the Episode-guide-article's TALK page, so that other editors can participate.  I have added a brief summary of your position onto the relevant section of the episode-guide-article's TALK page, please reply there, not on my personal TALK page.


 * 2. The episode-guide lists the years during which the three seasons were aired, but does not list the specific dates of the individual episodes.  Since the airing-dates do not appear in the article, they do not need to be sourced.  (Other facts which do not appear in the article, such as the actors' medical histories, shoe-sizes, and favorite colors, also do not need to be sourced.  Only facts which are actually mentioned in the article need to be sourced, and then only if they are not part of the plot summaries.)


 * 3. If you feel that a particular fact mentioned in the article (such as, for instance, the years in which the first season was first aired) needs a source, then what you should do is place a "citation-needed" flag next to the particular fact which you feel needs a source.  A general "need sources" flag at the top of the article is not appropriate, also not helpful, since it doesn't say what sources are needed or where.  Thank you.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Why do you remove my mentioning of a state funeral for Superman in Arlington National Cemetery? It is in both the theatrical cut and the ultimate cut. If you remove it, Superman's significance will be diminished. I do agree you should rewrite it better instead of cramming it with the memorial service in Metropolis. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermann (talk • contribs) 17:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I disagreed with your response. BvS tanked at the box office, not even beating Captain America 3 Civil War. If we don't do Superman justice by stressing the "fact" that he received a state funeral from the United States government, then he is not the most important superhero of all time. Please reconsider. It it only fewer than 10 more words. If you are a true American/citizen of the world, you will agree with me. The other fact that a memorial service at Metropolis is held for him is actually not that important. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermann (talk • contribs) 17:57, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Apologies on not having known how to use the four tildes. Hope I get it right this time. BvS' box office tanked when compared to Captain America 3. This is not my words. But those from the NYTimes at http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/business/disney-v-warner-how-captain-america-beat-batman-and-superman.html and many other critics, because existing costs won't reflect ongoing marketing costs. Not to mention its reviews are not favorable enough. We need to summarize the plot in a way that could help this 78-year-old character stay relevant to the newest generation of readers/audience. Metropolis is not New York. It's a fictional city. But Arlington National Cemetery is a real place and adds significance to his contribution to American culture. In terms of helpings readers here, Arlington is worth mentioning more than Metropolis since the latter has occurred in the text already. Please reconsider. Supermann (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, you can't compare BvS to Titanic since the latter is not even a Superhero movie. That's not a fair comparison. When I mentioned BvS and Captain America 3, these two are like apple vs apple not apple v oranges in your reasoning. I am not adding my own personal interpretation to the burial site. This should be clearly stated in the plot summary. Why are you so defensive? If people are not familiar with the significance of Arlington National Cemetery and state funeral, we need to educate them. With terrorist attacks from ISIS most recently in Istanbul, Turkey, people need to learn that freedom is not free. We need a strong military to defend us while engaging in diplomacy. We should absolutely mention the two burial sites. The memorial in Metropolis could be left out.Supermann (talk) 23:59, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
