[edit] US Bias?
Quote from wiki page (bolding mine) "It was the second most successful film of 2009 (behind Avatar) and eleventh overall domestically, and the 23rd highest-grossing film of all time and fourth highest of the year (behind Avatar, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs) internationally."
Is wikipedia US centric only? Are people using wikipedia from outside the US supposed to guess which country domestic actually refers to? Suggest "domestic" is changed to "in the United States". Comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.199.64.155 (talk) 16:49, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
I could be wrong when I say this, but here's what I think it's about: Since most of these films are U.S. made, domestic means "In the USA", as if you didn't already know that. So when people from other countries look up an American movie on their own Wikipedia, they know that "domestic" means "In the USA" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.50.58.110 (talk) 14:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the title of the movie be "Revenge of The Fallen" (aka using a capital T), since the titular character is "The Fallen"? Or is that just another oversight in this crappy movie? 149.169.174.38 (talk) 08:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- The title is deliberately ambiguous, "the fallen" both referring to The Fallen, and to Megatron (or the Decepticons altogether), who had fallen in the previous film. --uKER (talk) 16:46, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Two periods
retrospect, as marking the end of an era. Of course there will be many more CGI-based action epics, but never again one this bloated, excessive, incomprehensible, long (149 minutes) or expensive ($190 million).". There are two periods here please take of the one after the parentheses. Thank you.-James Pandora Adams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.168.57 (talk) 04:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Got it. Thanks, homie. Millahnna (talk) 05:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Someone completely messed up the plot. It needs to be fixed. I'd do it myself but I probably wouldn't be able to write it in a way that is suitable for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.50.58.110 (talk) 14:09, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
The current one is subliterate. Will someone who has seen the movie rewrite it? 128.118.69.221 (talk) 17:44, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Other Autobots?
During the scene where Director Galloway tells Lennox that his NEST team is decativated, there is a blue autobot in the background standing with Ironhide, Sideswipe, & Ratchet. It's to large to be one of the motorcycles. It stands close to the same height as the Autobots standing next to it. Is that one of The Wreckers? In the third movie it was mentioned that The Wreckers came to Earth with the 2nd wave of Autobots (between the 1st & 2nd movies) but they weren't allowed off base because they were "A-holes." So that could be a possibility. Just wondering who blue autobot is? He only gets about 4-5 seconds of screen time.

Reviewer: Dom497 (talk) 15:16, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- Everything is clear and spelling and grammar is correct.
- B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
- The article complies with the manual of style guidelines.
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- Everything has reliable references.
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- Everything has reliable references.
- C. No original research:
- Everything has a reference and no original research was found.
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- The article covered / included all the major aspects of the movie.
- B. Focused:
- Everything stays on topic.
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Did not find any bias info.
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- From what it looks like, within the past week a lot of "undoing" has been going on. Doesn't look like the article is stable any more.
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- All images properly tagged.
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- Images are related to the movie and the captions "agree" with the images they support.
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- As of the time I reviewed this article, there has been a lot of "undoing" info on the article. This means that the article is stable enough for GA status. Although the original nominator is now retired, I will put this article on hold for 7 days to see if the article stabilizes. After 7 days, if the article is stabilized, I will pass it. If the article is still unstable after 7 days, I will fail it.
-
- After 7 days, the article is still not stable.--Dom497 (talk) 12:26, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
Not to mention, that this is definitely NOT a good article, as there are inconsistencies with references, the stablity (as mentioned above), the cast section requires more information, should look like this: Iron Man cast section or this Transformers: Dark of the Moon cast section. Until then, I second the your "overall" result. Fanaction2031 (talk) 22:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

- Comment: (to Dom497) stability is based on whether or not edit wars (content disputes) are prominent in the article, and currently the malicious editing appears to have subsided. (to Fanaction2031): Reference formatting is not a requirement of good articles and reliability is pretty decent, unless you want to point out any references that aren't up to scratch in that area? Also, plenty of film GAs have cast sections that look like this one. 94.8.98.105 (talk) 01:11, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: I was just pointing out that the cast section SHOULD be reworked for consistency of the following and past films. Also, it would be more relevant and yes neat. Fanaction2031 (talk) 23:25, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: Um, 2a is not that good - the ammount of fansite refs is unhealthy (I'm working on replacing them), so the sources aren't all reliable! igordebraga ≠ 00:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
