== Semi-Protected Edit Request: Music ==

The Music section currently ends with this sentence:

By August 2014, the soundtrack, titled Awesome Mix, hit number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first soundtrack album in history to not feature any original songs.[132]

However, if you look at the citation, the album is actually the first soundtrack album in history to hit #1 on the charts while not featuring any original songs. There have been numerous other soundtrack albums with no original songs -- for example, the hit soundtrack album for "American Graffiti," which peaked at #10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/41_Original_Hits_from_the_Soundtrack_of_American_Graffiti).

Name of Collector's aide

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)[reply]

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 (talkComment on List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films' FLC) 17:17, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hitfix reliability

This link http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/will-john-c-reilly-join-the-marvel-universe-for-guardians-of-the-galaxy claims Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely worked on the script (which is credited only as "Written by. JAMES GUNN and NICOLE PERLMAN"). The person who writes this blog doesn't say where this information came from, and it appears nowhere else that I can find: not in Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline.com or any other reliable source. Whoever "Drew" of Hitfix is, it's clear he's not someone doing original reporting but simply re-reporting what original-reporting sites say — and from what I can see, adding a rumor or "something he heard". If Hitfix is the only place claiming Markus/McFeely worked on the script, and since he doesn't say where he got that supposed iformation, then this does not seem like it reaches the threshold of reliability. --209.122.114.237 (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 August 2014

Quill's ship is named the Milano, not the Minora as stated in the article, as per Director James Gunn's twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/494193606794547200. Additionally, the prison is called the Kyln and Ronan's is the Dark Astor, both spelled that way in the comics and on screen in the movie.

68.195.11.127 (talk) 02:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Nowhere in the article does the word "Minora" appear, and the prison is said to be the Kyln three times. I can't find anyone that refers to Ronan's ship as the Dark Astor; Google shows chocolate and theatres. Please be more specific with where the issues are, and provide a source for the spelling of Astor. Sock (pka Corvoe) (be heard)(my stuff) 20:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under the reception heading, please change the following wording for readability (things to omit, things to add): In July 2014, pre-release tracking suggested that Guardians of the Galaxy could gross over $60 - $70 million or more during its opening weekend. [158] Box Office Mojo estimates that the film could gross over $82 million or more. 50.139.120.19 (talk) 15:10, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 August 2014

Please let's change this line:

In a separate interview for The Dark World in November, Feige added that a third, unknown Infinity Stone would be seen in the film,[112] later revealed in June 2014 to be the Power Stone.[113]

To this:

In a separate interview for The Dark World in November, Feige added that another, unknown Infinity Stone would be seen in the film,[112]

Basically removing the whole last part. Feige never said there were only three Gems, he said they had only officially revealed three Gems. Meaning the Scepter could very well still be the Mind Gem. As for the article proving the Orb from Guardians of the Galaxy was the Power Orb, that is simply untrue. The article expresses only the Opinion of it's writer, and his source is a line from the movie he most likely misunderstood. Please change it, it's causing a lot of arguments in certain, very nerdy, parts of the internet. Exodus111 (talk) 23:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The wording of "third, unknown" does no harm; it doesn't imply that the third one is the final one, just that this was...well, the third one. Also, how did the writer misunderstand the line? Even if it was misunderstod, Vulture is a reliable source, as is the International Business Times, which also referenced that line when discussing the stone's name. See WP:TRUTH.

Cosmo/Laika

Does Cosmo have any cited relationship to Laika? I am unfamiliar with the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, but given the CCCP... kencf0618 (talk) 03:23, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually an interesting thought, but there is only one joking mention of Laika to be found (in a Den of Geek article). Cosmo is entirely different in almost every other way, believe it or not. He's telepathic and all. Sock (pka Corvoe) (be heard)(my stuff) 13:54, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under the plot section, the Other is killed by Ronan unprovoked during Ronan's audience with Thanos. 121.213.21.235 (talk) 04:38, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The Other is not necessarily dead (it certainly looks like it, but you never know with this stuff), and it's irrelevant to the plot as a whole anyway.

Adding credits

Should comic creators who were credited in the film (near the bottom) be added anywhere in the article? We don't normally do this, but figured I'd ask just in case. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Howard The Duck after credits scene

I don't see why certain people are so against using the characters real name and continue to remove my correction. There are numerous sources that confirm that it is Howard The Duck and not just a generic anthropomorphic duck there it should be recognised. Wikipedia is supposed to be a realiable fact page therefore the correct information should be noted

80.47.128.195 (talk) 22:29, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is correctly noted by stating anthropomorphic duck, because in the 1-2 minute scene, is the name "Howard" or "Howard the Duck" ever spoken? No. So we can only go off of that. The same for Cosmo. We are not favoring one or the other. See other MCU film pages as well for post credit teases. None of the characters/items are directly stated, all are done through piping, because they are never explicitly named or stated as what they are. It would be an issue, I feel, if we wikilinked to 'anthropomorphic' and 'duck', but we are linking the whole phrase to Howard the Duck's page. And just because the credit is given right after the scene is not justification to state the name, because the character is in a "blink and you miss it" scene earlier in the film. I hope this gives you a better understanding. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:33, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Cosmo is credited as a dog named "Fred" during the credits, so it can be stated that he is, indeed, Cosmo. Additionally, the Marvel Art of Guardians of the Galaxy book explicitly refers to the dog in the film as "Cosmo". As for Howard the Duck, James Gunn has identified him as such in interviews and on Twitter. I will endeavour to find sources for it. 80.193.1.164 (talk) 16:29, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

People without outside knowledge of these characters do not know who they are because they are not named within the film's plot, so piping them to the appropriate article is the correct coarse of action. However, I am not opposed to adding a note these piped links with references verifying the characters as similar situations have been handled in other MCU articles.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:45, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that a note would be a good addition. The piping is certainly appropriate for the reasons TriiipleThreat said, but a note is always a good touch. Sock (tock talk) 18:49, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If the character is named in the credits, shouldn't we use that name here. The previous situations that Triiiple referred to concerned uncredited cameos, but Cosmo is credited, so I think that should be changed. In terms of Howard, yes his name is never spoken in the film, but immediately after his appearance his name is shown clearly and visibly onscreen. I think this is enough to use his name in the summary as well. If people don't understand who the characters are, then all they have to do is click on the link and read more. - adamstom97 (talk) 07:53, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Someone unfamiliar with the character would not be able to match the credit with the character because his name is never given within the film itself.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 10:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't they? The film cuts directly from a shot of an anthropomorphic duck to the words "Howard the Duck created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik". The connection is not explicitly stated in dialogue, but it's abundantly clear from the context of the final credit. —Flax5 11:31, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The summary currently says "In a post-credits scene, Tivan sits in his destroyed archive with two of his living exhibits: a canine cosmonaut and an anthropomorphic duck." If you changed that to "In a post-credits scene, Tivan sits in his destroyed archive with two of his living exhibits: Cosmo the Spacedog and Howard the Duck." then anyone who has seen the movie will know that the 'Spacedog' must refer to the dog featured prominently at the beginning of the scene, and the 'Duck' must refer to the anthropomorphic duck featured prominently at the end of the scene. Because of this, and the fact that the characters are clearly named through credits in the film, there is no reason to keep the page the way it is. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I stated, Howard was also in a "blink and you miss it" scene earlier in the film, so the credit also applies to that appearance. Just because it appears right after the scenes, does not mean we can infer all viewers will understand that to be the character that appeared. I would be fine with adding a note as on other pages, but I don't really see the need, since we link to the Howard the Duck page. If it was something like in Cap:TWS where we can't link the sceptor in Wikipedia to being Loki's, then the note is of good help. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:48, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Convoluted formatting for quote

So long story short, in the Development section there's this quote that reads "...cosmic side of the universe." and for the sake of them liking the capitalized U in "universe", some editors are making that quote into "...cosmic side of the [Marvel Cinematic U]niverse.", which I find ridiculous, having that bracket enclose just one letter from a word. I proposed leaving it as "[Marvel Cinematic] universe", the U being lowercase not being that bad IMO, but I got reverted by a second editor, so I leave it to you to decide. --uKER (talk) 16:22, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We can't change the quote how we like. Feige said "universe"; we want to clarify for readers that it is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Feige, or the interviewer/transcriber, never intended it to be the capital "Universe". So we have to change that. It is more appropriate in my opinion to do it as [Marvel Cinematic U]niverse, versus [Marvel Cinematic Universe], because we still want to show that Feige said universe, not something else that we as editors have changed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:26, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you'd notice, my proposal is "[Marvel Cinematic] universe", which doesn't alter the quote. It just leaves the U lowercase instead of mangling readability for the technicality of having that U as uppercase. --uKER (talk) 17:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But that is not correct, because it is Marvel Cinematic Universe, not Marvel Cinematic universe. And it does not really mange readability. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I find it unnecessarily convoluted, but if I'm the only one I guess I'll live with it. --uKER (talk) 04:20, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Brackets are used all the time when citing quotes, so I apologize that I'm failing to see this as an issue. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:09, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gamora reveals that she has betrayed Ronan, unwilling to let him use the orb's power to destroy entire planets such as Xandar.

Gamora reveals that she has betrayed Ronan, and will instead sell the orb, thereby giving herself a chance to finally escape Thanos and live an independent life.

ie--at that point not even Gamora knows about the powerful stone the orb contains.

 Not done Though she didn't know of the Infinity Stone within the Orb, she does state in the film her knowledge of Ronan and Thanos' plan to destroy Xandar with it. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has been confirmed that the cocoon in the Collector's home is the regenerative form of Adam Warlock. In the post credits scene it shows in the background that the cocoon has been broken. This is of extreme importance given Warlock's role in the comic book infinity story arc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.225.14.75 (talk) 14:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protected Edit Request: Music

The Music section currently ends with this sentence:

By August 2014, the soundtrack, titled Awesome Mix, hit number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first soundtrack album in history to not feature any original songs.[132]

However, if you look at the citation, the album is actually the first soundtrack album in history to hit #1 on the charts while not featuring any original songs. There have been numerous other soundtrack albums with no original songs -- for example, the hit soundtrack album for "American Graffiti," which peaked at #10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/41_Original_Hits_from_the_Soundtrack_of_American_Graffiti). 68.173.32.194 (talk) 05:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
