Aren't the [test screenings] also called sneak preview?

Film Screening

An article Sneak preview was created, and moved to Film Screening. It was trivial, and was marked for deletion. I just expanded it, not noticing the existence of Test Screening. --Lexein 15:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was Mimi kidding herself?

"Test screenings showed negative audience reactions to onscreen kisses between Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts (in The Pelican Brief) and Mimi Rogers (in The Mighty Quinn).[4" This is awkwardly worded or something was left out. Also, what is the point of this anyway? Did the negative audience reaction alter the final product? If so, how? If not, who cares?

Deletion of unsourced content without making an effort to find sources

Note to the anonymous deleting editor angry enough about unsourced material to be WP:UNCIVIL in the edit summary while re-deleting: please read the rest of WP:BURDEN, where it says, "It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find supporting sources yourself and cite them." I found and cited seven sources for some of the previously deleted content (found none for the "Australian" and "It has been suggested..." stuff, so it's not restored). So in the spirit of improving Wikipedia by adding content and sources, and the above-linked WP:PRESERVE, please chip in and make a good-faith effort to locate sources for test screenings for a few of the listed films. --Lexein (talk) 16:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
