Orphaned references in Angry Birds (franchise)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Angry Birds (franchise)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Could this page be updated? The AB app just got new levels called Red's Mighty Feathers and they aren't on there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.48.111 (talk) 20:48, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

• Angry Birds → Angry Birds (video game)
• Angry Birds (franchise) → Angry Birds

– Per WP:NCVG#Disambiguation 5.1. "If a video game series has a naming conflict solely with the first game in the series, the series page should reside at the primary name if the series possesses a minimum of 3 video game articles as well as at least one other unrelated video game or related media item." There are >3 games and two additional media items (game and TV series), making the above disambiguation convention. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:27, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Is this article in a good shape already?

Are we ready to remove the banner? i think the Other Media section needs some trimming/rewriting.--Krystaleen 05:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Appears to no longer be relevant. I'm going to boldly take it down; if someone actually is planning a major update, they can explain that here and then restore the banner. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 05:22, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 16 May 2013

Can you please update the movie release date to July 1 2016 and add a link to another press release? The movie will also be made by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation. Here's the link: http://www.rovio.com/en/news/press-releases/299/rovios-angry-birds-feature-film-nests-at-sony-pictures-entertainment 76.69.131.6 (talk) 23:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Done and sourced. I believe the release date being mentioned here is notable, verifiable and passes WP:CRYSTAL but I could be wrong. If there is disagreement then you can revert it. No harm no foul. :) ^Jguy_Talk^Done 17:24, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

There appears to be a reference named "Forbes 1-7B", but there's no such reference. Could someone remove the short reference, so as to fix the citation error? Flying Buttress (talk) 10:13, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

For reference, it was added in here, when the text was moved and altered - so the original citation may be relevant. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angry_Birds&diff=543632659&oldid=543613003 Flying Buttress (talk) 10:19, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Partly done: It seems that was added by an editor who didn't understand the name= syntax. He/She presumably meant to used the reference named "Forbes", but added extra characters. ~HueSatLum 20:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 4 September 2013

Please change "This article is about the overall Angry Birds franchise." and "Angry Birds is a video game franchise created by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Entertainment."

and replace the word 'franchise' with 'series' because this article is about a series of games produced by one company. The article does not suggest that any element of the game is franchised out to other companies and the word 'franchise' is not an alternative word for 'series' in any language of which I am aware and most especially not in English. The write might consider consulting a dictionary in an effort to discover what a franchise actually is but in an effort to be helpful, KFC and McDonalds are examples of franchises.

Pricing, backdoor snooping

Today it was revealed that this app was/is used for hoovering up data from smartphones.

Those who paid something for it might have the right to sue because they probably did not intend to pay for this feature and were not made aware. Those who only use the free versions do not have any rights because you don't look a gifted horse in the mouth. But when I pay for something I have the right to get what's been offered, not more, not less. A legal comment on this would be appropriate. 121.209.53.9 (talk) 01:15, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
