User talk:Spiderman goofs

Your edits to Spider-Man 2
Dude, you've been reverted by two separate editors for making unencyclopedic edits to the article. Please explain your reasoning on the talk page for including this information, because really, these "observations" aren't necessary. You can share them with your friends at IMDb, but Wikipedia doesn't need pedestrian detail. --Erik ( talk/contrib ) @ 21:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I know, I know... film articles on Wikipedia tend to have these kinds of sections -- goofs, trivia, whatnot. The problem is that they're not really contributive sections (read WP:TRIVIA if you haven't already).  They should be removed or integrated into the rest of the article, actually.  Spider-Man 2 is an article that another editor and I hope to shape up sometime soon, and expanding the article with that kind of information wasn't what we had in mind.  (You should see how much of hard cases we are at Spider-Man 3.)  Your attempted contributions are appreciated, but there are constructive edits you can make, like creating a Production section for Spider-Man 2 with citation goodness. --Erik ( talk/contrib ) @ 22:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, no one's out to get you, at least not on Wikipedia. I think the reason that film articles tend to have these sections is that information tends to be copyable from other sites (such as films' trivia pages at IMDb) or viewable when watching the film.  It's more difficult to dig up encyclopedic information, such as for a Production section, because sources to cite tend to become obsolete online and swallowed up by fanboy sites.  You're absolutely welcome to contribute new information with citation, though. --Erik ( talk/contrib ) @ 22:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
