Requested move 8 January 2021
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: No consensus (closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs (talk) 15:06, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- War of the Worlds (2005 film) → War of the Worlds (film)
- The War of the Worlds (1953 film) → The War of the Worlds (film)
– There is only one "War of the Worlds (film)" and "The War of the Worlds (film)", so what other links are there to disambiguate? The move request back in July 2016 did not provide a valid reason for the moves. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 17:14, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support. Although they could get confused, they have distinct titles. kennethaw88 • talk 23:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support with a hatnote on each article directing to the other one. —El Millo (talk) 00:24, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. As pointed out in the 2016 discussion, 2005's H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds (The Asylum film) has also been referenced as simply War of the Worlds. Moreover, still another 2005 film version, H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (Pendragon Pictures film) has likewise been referenced as simply The War of the Worlds (per our own File:PendragonWotWposter.jpg). With four films bearing what are nearly the same titles, it seems that users would be most helped and least confused if we were to retain the years. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:13, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - "The" is not enough to clearly disambiguate among all these similar titles. -- Netoholic @ 04:05, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support The title should be as close to the name of the subject as technically possible. 5440orSleep (talk) 15:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Chompy Ace 00:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Roman Spinner. Also, "The" is in general rarely a helpful disambiguator; year is better and clearer. SnowFire (talk) 00:49, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Netoholic. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 20:45, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Roman Spinner. Absolutely no point in adding confusion. And clearly either film can be commonly referred to with or without the definite article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:19, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Reference of wayback machine appears bare
[edit]the link to the marketing campaign isn't compressed into a [number] like it should. 2601:445:601:82E0:C0E8:E037:5913:C036 (talk) 03:54, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Deleted scene?
[edit]There's a deleted scene called "camelot", in this scene Ray, Robbie and Rachel hides behind a parked car to witness a tripod abducting a person out of the building with its tentacles. Should this be mentioned?
