... that the film Chasing 3000 was originally meant to premiere at the 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, but the filmmakers changed their minds because they wanted a better chance of securing a distribution deal?

- The source in the article for the hook doesn't mention the 2006 MLB All-Star Game at all; it states that it was going to go straight-to-DVD. Additionally, I'm doubting the reliability of "dvdsreleasedates.com". QPQ is done, over 10x expanded. The sourcing for this just isn't up to par yet. Hog Farm (talk) 02:28, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: The source does say that though. "Chasing 3000 was originally set to premiere at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game last summer in Pittsburgh...But the movie's makers decided not to chance such a premiere because they did not yet have a a distribution deal in place for their film". The article is from 2007 (last summer from then was 2006) and the 2006 game was in Pittsburgh. SL93 (talk) 02:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. Missed it, Still unsure about the other source though. Couldn't find anything on WP:RS/N. Hog Farm (talk) 03:01, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: I can add Amazon as the reference instead, but I do not know if that is acceptable. If it isn't, I will just remove the sentence. SL93 (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)q[reply]

Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Amazon, Amazon would be a reliable source for past DVD dates. Hog Farm (talk) 03:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to Amazon. SL93 (talk) 03:19, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
