== Spamming Issue While editing this page, I came across a repeated entry onto the blacklist which wouldn't allow me to post. When I removed the offending link, it re-appeared upon saving the page. The section it appears in is:

The word shows up as a green anchor link around the word "dating" and triggers the blacklist filter when I go to do my save. Upon checking my browser (fresh install), there was no reason for that link to persist on my end. Red Heron (talk) 17:05, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Lucas about the importance of cinematic preservation


[edit] The intro paragraph has a grammar error

The very first sentence reads: George Walton Lucas, Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American film producer, screenwriter, and director, and entrepreneur.

The and before director is an error. I can not edit the locked page. 70.49.93.103 (talk) 03:31, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] SF Hall of Fame induction

Regarding the SF Hall of Fame class of 2006 including Lucas and three others, in the article I have provided two references contemporary to the advance announcement. Among many google hits, these two have independent content. They provide inconsistent dates; AWN News seems to be correct.

Here are some references contemporary to the induction which may have supplementary or replacement value here.

[edit] Error needs correcting

The problem with this article being locked is that it contains as least one questionable claim. There were, so far as I can discover, NO CGI revision to American Graffiti. In the commentary on the BR disc, Lucas talks about how scenes that were in his original cut were dropped by the studio, and how he restored them to home video editions. The only source I can find on the web to support the claim of CGI enhancements is a blogger who claims that the opening shot/title shot has had the sunset brightened behind the drive-in. But that's just the blogger's judgement, and no actual evidence is offered to support the claim, other than the blogger's memory (also not supported by a direct claim) of the original theatrical showing. My memory of the original theatrical prints differs significantly. The sunset was always there, but scanning for the BR now allows it to be seen properly, whereas in previous editions it couldn't. So whoever is in charge of the locks on this page, I would recommend deletion of the claim that American Graffiti has been altered by CGI; it hasn't. And even if the opening shot was brightened, that's not CGI; that's just one of the things you can do when you scan in a print, because often the data is there on the film, and just needs a small adjustment for it to be brought out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theonemacduff (talkcontribs) 23:11, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
