Millie gives the rights to her code to Antwan:

This keeps getting changed, and it is confusing, but she explicitly gives Antwan the rights to her code:

Millie: Look, I just want the world that I built and the people in it.
Antwan: What's in it for Antwan?
Millie: Everything else.
Antwan: Meaning? Pretend I'm dumb.
Millie: You have the rights to our code, keep all the profits, just give me what's left of Free City. Let me build my own world from there.
Antwan: What about Free City 2? Free City 3? And all pursuant spin-offs?
Millie: All yours. Just put down the axe.

Antwan has the code and the rights to it. Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:56, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the WP:FILMPLOT guidelines which say the Plot section should be 400-700. If you do not follow that guideline your changes will keep getting rewritten. -- 109.76.137.229 (talk) 20:23, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that my contribution made zero changes to the word count, but reduced the character count by 1 byte. Chaheel Riens (talk) 11:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... but the word count is still over and will inevitably be rewritten. -- 109.76.145.225 (talk) 14:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but why are you telling me this, when my above edit didn't increase the word count, and my contributions here have consistently[1] reduced[2] the[3] plot[4] count?[5] One could almost assume that I'm familiar with not only the plot of this film, but also FILMPLOT as a policy?

Petition for Wikipedia Page for Guy

Can he? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laughdog26 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean an article for the character, similar to that of Mario or Indiana Jones (character) - probably not. At the moment there's not enough justification or notability to warrant such an article. It would almost certainly be a stub and nominated for merger back into this one.

You could always start an article in your own draft space, and see how that turns out though. Chaheel Riens (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:GNG, it is highly unlikely that there enough to support any articles beyond this one. User:Chaheel Riens did make a great suggestion, you can learn more about creating WP:DRAFT articles and gather information in your own userspace draft page until some point in the future when maybe there there is enough information for a separate article. -- 109.76.145.225 (talk) 23:19, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Production details and Uncharted

This Start class article could do with some expansion. I tried to add more details to the Production section using reliable sources.

Another editor started edit warring, repeatedly reverted my changes without any explanation.[6][7] The other editor did not point to any Wikipedia guidelines as explanation but eventually in a third revert the edit summary said the changes were "Overly detailed".[8] and no further explanation was given. WP:BRD I guess I have to start a discussion.

Adding more details seem like the normal way to improve an article. Wholesale reverting of multiple edits without any edit summary does not seem like a good faith response to such changes. If User:Maxbmogs had made specific deletes or their own changes it would be understandable but this did not make sense.

I'm willing to discuss deletes if editors explain their objections. The other revert of my changes to the Marketing section by Eik_Corell (talk · contribs) [9] made some sense and I did try to do make a better version of that edit to address his concerns.[10] I understand that maybe Reynolds and Waititi joking about Green Lantern (film) maybe should be done differently and that may need further discussion, but the gag grabbed attention and I think it was key part of the early promotion of the film until the pandemic delayed everything. Maybe not as expensive as the Korg Deadpool gag but still a significant part of the promotion.

What I still don't understand is reverts or deletes without explanation. User:Maxbmogs seems to object to mentioning that director Shawn Levy was working on adapting a real video game into a film before this film, it seems relevant and it is reliably sourced. Levy even said "I feel like being liberated from literal adaptation was a gift" contrasting the development of Uncharted with Free Guy[11] and that is important to the Design of this film. -- 109.79.161.174 (talk) 01:49, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the later revisions, and I do not see anything in that that I would call "overly detailed", and it is all reasonable sourced. This material should be included. --Masem (t) 02:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment, I think it helped a lot. I waited a while and restored the text again. User:Maxbmogs added a wiki link but did not comment. I guess my changes are acceptable (mostly) and are more likely to be rewritten than deleted entirely. I think the Production section needs more, of something, but I'm not sure what exactly, so if I get any good ideas I might try adding more in another few weeks. -- 109.79.164.223 (talk) 00:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

Please see WP:FILMGENRE. Please show your sources before adding genres. Please try to stick to the primary genre.

An editor removed all the genres from the intro[12] The Deadline reference and Syfy reference that were/are in the intro call the film an "action comedy" and a "comedy" so I added those genres back.[13] There are many other possible genres that this could be classified under but we cannot and should not mention them all, these two seem like the most important. -- 109.78.199.36 (talk) 10:39, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please add me to the Free Guy (movie) Cast list.

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Free Guy. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
