Hey, folks, the Melissa Morgan story was fun, but it would be nice for this article to contain factual information instead of half-baked theories. I was the author of the April Fools Day prank in question, and I think the joke has had its day. Melissa (who has chosen to withhold her true identity) has very much enjoyed the fun, but let's move on now.

But really, with the lack of real news at this point, can it hurt to keep this (partially) alive for a bit longer?
Film Box
Let's add a Info_Film Box for this Article. I tryed doing it and It Wouldn't create it.
- If you mean the Template:Infobox Film, it's already on the page. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there seriously no info on who's playing the new chars yet?
- There is "seriously" no info besides the return of the Pevensies and Liam Neeson in the voice of Aslan. Filming is either starting now or will be starting within a few weeks so hopefully in that time we'll get at least a new actor or two. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Pinewood studios
May I advise editors to not write anything that says NZ will not be used in the shoot, most of it is speculation. There will be some shooting there, but we officially do not know the full extent of it. Wiki-newbie 15:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Editing back and forth
There seems to be a lot of rapid fire quick edits by Wiki-newbie and Textbook on this articles history. Having seen both users talk pages, I've seen that this is causing some friction and hostility. Might I politly suggest that those two users disengage for a time to allow things to die down? As the wikiquette policy states:
Take a long term view. In due course you will probably be able to return and carry on editing it, when the previous problems no longer exist and the editor you were in dispute with might themselves move on. In the meantime the disputed article will evolve, other editors may become interested and they will have different perspectives if the issue comes up again.
Please keep this in mind, so as to avoid anything escalating into an edit war.

Yeah, I went overboard. I feel that I have a right to prevent loss of citations and the article becoming a wikitable though. Wiki-newbie 09:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I wasn't implying any fault on either users part, its just a way of preventing things from escalating. :) SGGH 12:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Image problem
Can anyone see the Concept Poster I added to the infobox? Wiki-newbie 11:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- I've fixed this for you. The parameter was "image," not "poster." --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Uncast roles
There used to be a note above the list of uncast roles saying that it was based on those characters who had large roles in the book but it disappeared as more roles were confirmed. I think that some version of it should be put back unless a cast list has been leaked somewhere. Unless there is a source for them existing in the script some of the roles might have been cut from the film. Eluchil404 13:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Keep it for now. Wiki-newbie 14:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Budget
There's mention of a £50 million budget in this article, though I'm not sure if it's just an estimate on the part of the reporter. Any thoughts? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 12:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Conflicting reasons for release date pushback
Near the top of the page there is a reason of pushing the release date back so as not to compete with the water boy. Whilst lower down there is a reason being the more complex special effects causing the release date to be pushed back. So which is it, does anyone know?
Hmmm... I'll edit it: I think it was a piece of IGN speculation. Alientraveller 21:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Official plot synopsis
Please do not re-add the official plot synopsis taken from narniaweb.com. It is copyrighted material and we cannot use it! Furthermore, we are not allowed to copy material from other websites, period, as it says directly below the edit box: "Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted." It is up to us, the wikipedia community, to come up with an adequate plot synopsis of our own, which I think we have already done.

Free use image
Found this image of the crew showing off an animatronic from the film at Comic Con, I presume it Asterius, because it doesn't say. Anyway, its free use. Gran2 22:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- I do believe his name is Tyrus as per this report from ComingSoon. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps the image could be cropped for Mark Johnson and Howard Berger's articles. Alientraveller 08:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Sectioning in production
First off, the article isn't that big, and doesn't require sectioning. Secondly, a release date isn't the same as production, nor is the previous film's article exactly the best comparison for structure: its production section is quite short as well. Alientraveller 18:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, in that case it should be changed in the first movie's article. It would just look better and be easier to look at if all the Narnia movie articles followed suit. But the video game needs to be in a In other media section, because it is not marketing. Perhaps the marketing section could be joined to the Production section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.151.138 (talk • contribs)
- Marketing has nothing to do with production. Again, please see various FA and GA film articles. Alientraveller 18:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Consistency is implemented in previous film's article. And Prince Caspian' production section is nowhere near as long as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Alientraveller 18:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

- For your information, I tried using the disscussion page, but you edited also and I lost what I had put down. For starters, I agree, perhaps, that the article is too short for sub-sections, and I will stop adding them. But that does not mean that you can add them in your own way like you did. Secondly, Transformers and Simpsons have absolutely nothing to do with Narnia, thus the articles may be different. Thirdly, I believe that there should be an In other media section with the video game in it, because it has nothing to do with the marketing. And lastly, I will let the Marketing section in as long as it is lengthened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.151.138 (talk • contribs)
- Transformers and The Simpsons Movie are examples of recent films that show how to organize production, marketing and release. However, a Marketing section shall be created, come the release of the first trailer. Until then, I'm always happy with links to other articles. Alientraveller 18:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- I can see where the other movies are good articles, however, if you haven't noticed, Prince Caspian is not even out yet. So we shouldn't be looking at those articles just yet. I do hope there is a In other media section added with the Soundtrack and Video game in it. And I wish you would put in the In other media section that you deleted in the first movie article. It supplied links to the two articles as well as giving more information. I apologize if I caused a disturbance, but I just want what is best for the article. I am glad that we were able to disscuss this, even though we were both clearly frustrated.
