Name of Collector's aid

The GotG Prequel Infinite Comic released today gives her a name - Carina. If we source it, can it be used? Here's some info on the comic. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:54, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

More detailed info in plot

Why do so many wiki articles (including this one) mention a character or event before they tell you what the hell it is? "..stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan." Really? Who the hell is this Ronan? Why would someone assume that everyone in the world knows who this is and just throw the name out there like it was an every day noun? After a but if scrolling it lists characters. 'Let see, look there is a mention of Lee Pace playing Ronan. I've heard Ronan mentioned somewhere before..' If this is supposed to be an encyclopedia shouldn't you at lease touch on something you are mentioning instead of making the reader thing WTF is that through half an article?

 Watch this:

"..stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan."

            vs.

"..stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan the Accuser,a member of the alien Kree race."

Holy crap, I now know enough about Ronan that I'm not wondering who the hell he is until I read half the article.

Ronan is wikilinked in the plot, allowing readers to click the link to go to the Ronan the Accuser page, where they can learn more info there, without reading the whole article. - Favre1fan93 (talk – Comment on List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films' FLC) 17:17, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

You completely missed the point. Great job.

You've completely missed the point of the wikilink, it's so that additional information on Ronan is not included, there's no need to add additional information on a character who has a wikipedia to begin with, with one easy click you can go to said person's wikipedia page and view their history, relationship with some characters, ect. Your point is somewhat valid, but it's not something the page desperately needs as you're so eager to point out and make a forced approach at insisting that it's "not that hard to add", and pushing it onto this particular page. There are guidelines to this website, and they are not to be taken lightly or off-handed. Not to say you're being threatened, but i'm just saying that every little detail does not need to be explained to you, when you can find out the information for yourself. We don't need to hold your hand. 71.188.21.140 (talk) 21:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Budget Reportedly $150 Million?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/10833784/Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-on-set-with-Marvels-rocknroll-heroes.html

This seems like a reliable source, and they state that the budget is reportedly 150 million, so I'll put that as a placeholder unless someone finds a conflicting source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.79.120 (talk) 00:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

While the source is reliable, it is an estimation on their part, not from any indication from Marvel. - Favre1fan93 (talk – Comment on List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films' FLC) 02:09, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

We should use this source. We do not defer to the studio to report the budget. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: even though it appears to be an approximation on the source's part? I know we might not get anything official from Marvel, but the context around it from the source makes me believe that The Telegraph has crafted this number. That's just how I'm reading it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:52, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, looking into this further, that article might depend on The Motley Fool for the estimate. I guess it's not a "normal" estimate in the sense that it's a ballpark guess as opposed to actual journalism. Alright, we don't need to use this one, then. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 11:34, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

It states Guardians cost $170 million to make at this link: http://www.thewrap.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-tracking-for-60-million-opening/. Just look for where it says "This is a big bet for Disney, with a production budget of $170 million dollars." So, I guess we can add that as it's budget on the wiki page for Guardians. Right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.1.188.167 (talk) 00:32, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Yup. That looks good. Will add if not done already. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:42, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Laura Haddock talks playing Peter Quill's Mother, and her relationship with one character.

Here's the source. 71.188.21.140 (talk) 14:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

An interview is an interview, regardless of the site. I'll defend you restoring this edit. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

The interview is from an unreliable source, we have no idea how much or if it any of it are actually Haddock's words. If true, a more reliable source will publish the information, we can afford to wait.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:35, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

So I guess her talking about the role in an interview on a site dedicated to her is something to wisk away as unreliable? Tragic, but she IS Meredith Quill how ever you slice it. It's been a 100% confirmed rumor, just like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen's casting. 71.188.21.140 (talk) 21:40, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

It's not tragic. It's us following WP:RS. Triiiple is absolutely right: given the unreliable nature of the site, and that it is solely dedicated to one person, it very well could have been fabricated. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:58, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

it is tragic, simply because she's been "more-so-confirmed-then-a-flat-out-rumor" as Meredith Quill since the new broke. Her role will merely be a cameo, obviously, but it irks my soul that it's going to take til the film is released for her to be credited as Meredith Quill. Maddening. 71.188.30.244 (talk) 07:03, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Alexis Denisof as The Other?

Does anyone know if Alexis Denisof is returning to portray "The Other" from The Avengers? 98.110.8.213 (talk) 03:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

No source that I can see (reliable or unreliable) has been released. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:55, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I've been looking all over the internet myself as well, and nothing has come up. Here's to hoping he reprises his role as The Other 71.188.30.244 (talk) 07:04, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

MAY have found something. dunno.. but seems legit (as with all early press screenings go...) Source See: Page 3 of Comments. But until the film comes out I guess it'll stay unofficial 71.188.30.244 (talk) 23:11, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

CBM is not a reliable source. Comments on articles, which can be considered "forums" are most certainly NOT reliable. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

I know that, obviously. I know what is reliable, and what is not. These (including LR) are the only two articles to mention "The Other" returning, with McNy noting that he is indeed played by Alexis Denisof. We'll have to wait until the film comes out to know, I guess. 71.188.30.244 (talk) 01:30, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Nathan Fillion cameo confirmed for Guardians.

Guardians of the Galaxy is 2 hours and 1 minute long

James Gunn has confirmed 2 me via comments on Facebook @ this link, https://www.facebook.com/alessio.pasquali.75/posts/264968863694788?comment_id=265418683649806&offset=0&total_comments=4, that Guardians of the Galaxy is indeed 2 hours and 1 minute long. Look at the second comment that he says to me when he says "Yes, the movie is a little over 2 hours long." That proves he confirmed it. Why don't any of you believe me? Even James Gunn said it was true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.1.188.167 (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

We have policies here. You have to look at WP:SELFSOURCE, first off. Second, saying "a little over two hours" is, in no way, confirmation that it is 121 minutes long. You're gonna need something more concrete than that. Also, as Favre1fan93 said, what's the rush? Corvoe (speak to me) 19:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Well, guess what, Corvoe, I have now official word from James Gunn and he says the movie is indeed two hours and one minute long. So, you must add this in to the Wikipedia page of Guardians of the Galaxy. Don't believe me? Hit up this link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152526573299570&set=a.21586549569.27113.759774569&type=1&comment_id=10152527125414570&offset=0&total_comments=58. It's all the proof you need. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.1.188.167 (talk) 22:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Still can't be used per WP:SELFSOURCE as has been noted. As stated to you, we have policies and they are here for a reason. This one, to prevent users attempting to add content as you have. Plus "you" are not a reliable source so that fails immediately right there. You can keep badgering Gunn all you want in your comments to confirm or deny, but it won't help you. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:48, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Alessio Pasquali, No need to have such a temper-tantrum about your information not being put on the Wikipedia page. Your attitude is NOT needed, so you can go and take it somewhere else because it will not be tolerated on here. 71.188.30.244 (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Ok, guys. James Gunn has again confirmed, on his Twitter page, that Guardians is indeed really 2 hours and 1 minute long at this link: https://mobile.twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/485172106418610176. Can we please add this into the page, now, that the movie is 121 minutes long and use the Twitter link as a source, and put an end to this debate? Please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.25.36 (talk) 21:40, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Good news, guys. The running time of Guardians is officially classified. Here's the link for proof: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/guardians-galaxy-film.

Soundtrack Revealed: UPDATED (7/9/14)

Here's the source. I personally don't know where this would go, obviously in the 'music' section, but I'm not at liberty to edit the page because well, I'd probably not put it in the right context. 71.188.30.244 (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
