The film logo (also, in new in this)

I never really created not modified a wiki page, but I'm quite excited for the next wonder woman/DC universe and I thought that it will be cool, now that it has been released, the logo for the film. Niko992 (talk) 18:49, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have the logo for the film? It would be great if you uploaded it here. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think he is referring to this logo which is for BvS, not this film.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 06:02, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

United States Air Force?

Hi there. There was no such thing as the independent "United States Air Force" until 1947, well after both World War I and World War II were over. This movie is set during WWI, and during that time, the aviation branch of the U.S. Army was known as the "U.S. Army Air Service."

Wonder Woman censorship in Lebanon controversy

Would that be possible to include the issue of banning Wonder Woman from showing in Lebanon in the article as it featured an headlines due to the leading actress, Gal Gadot as a Israeli had something to do with political turmoil between Lebanon and Israel? Saiph121 (talk) 01:40, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. That seemed like a dubious reason -- Natalie Portman's films are not banned there.[1] It seems like WP:SPECULATION (sourced or not)) that it was only (or perhaps mostly) a result of the lead actress's nationality. Best wait for more clarification. Hijiri 88 (やや) 01:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because Natalie Portman wasn't cheering death squads and bombs cutting down 1,400 Palestinian civilians, but regardless the states banning the film have not explicitly pointed to her extreme political positions as reasons for banning the film, it is indeed speculation at this point.

Wonder Woman breaks records in the Philippines

Wonder Woman has broken the Philippines' 2017 box office record for highest earning non-holiday opening day, according to Francis Soliven, general manager of Warner Bros Philippines. It earned P48.39 million on its first day in cinemas, June 1. It beat the previous record holder, Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast, which starred Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. Beauty and the Beast earned P47 million on its opening day in the Philippines.

"with many critics calling it the best DCEU film"

This feels like an understatement; "with many critics calling it the first good DCEU film" would be more accurate. The two cited sources do support the current description more literally, but they point out that this film has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, while the previous two were largely negative. If a source shows up that explicitly states what the Independent and the Hollywood Reporter both heavily imply, that should probably be subbed in in their place.

Please change David Thewlis' role from Ares to Sir Patrick.

Maybe something like this: David Thewlis as Sir Patrick: Sir Patrick Morgan, a speaker for peace on the Imperial War Cabinet who allies himself with Diana and Steve. He is later revealed to be the treacherous son of Zeus and half-brother of Diana, based on the Greek mythological god of War.

The wikipedia article stating David Thewlis' role affects what is seen on google. This will spoil the movie for many people who google the Wonder Woman cast: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2017/06/02/searching_wonder_woman_on_google_spoils_david_thewlis_character_in_the_new.html

Please consider other moviegoers, what if your favorite twist from your favorite film was spoiled before you even watched it for the first time?

I saw the previous request was denied, and I completely understand that you don't avoid spoilers in wiki articles, but this doesn't just affect wiki, it affects anyone who wants to Google the Wonder Woman cast before they see the movie. Plus, by saying he is Ares in the description doesn't remove the spoiler anyway, it just makes it safer for those who want to Google the cast. It's not just affecting the wiki page and my suggestion doesn't even remove the spoiler, it just hides it better, so please consider the change.

 Not done Wikipedia contains spoilers. Ironically, you spoiled the movie for me with the above. Anyway, people shouldn't be Googling the cast of the film if they don't want to know the cast of the film. Hijiri 88 (やや) 07:32, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Under "Cast", Information about David Thewlis' character is in the middle of Connie Nielsen's information, rather than on its own line. Put David Thewlis' information on his own line. 47.55.241.103 (talk) 16:30, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
