Rare Ruby??

The followed by field says "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Rare Ruby". Where did that come from?

ancient astronauts theory not mentioned once?!

The whole movie is inspired by real theories of Erich von Daniken et al. Why is there no mention of it in this article?--Wangond (talk) 17:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't mentioned because there is no reference for it. If you know of a reliable source that says Lucas and Spielberg were inspired by Daniken, you can add it. But do not add that claim, as you have already done, without a source. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 03:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fallout 3 booth

The manequins used in the Nuclear test scene are the same ones that the Fallout 3 booth were using according to Todd Howard, CEO of Bethesda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.204.68 (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A scientific study on nuked fridge survivability

Science has spoken: it is simply impossible. --Stormwatch (talk) 02:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder what they'd think of my face melting box?

Assuming that the fridge escape would work, which seems a smidge doubtful, what I want to know is: 1) why is there a custom-built lead-lined fridge in the mockup town in the first place, 2) for what reason did someone label it as such, and 3) how did Indy get out, since '50s fridges could not be unlatched from the inside (it was only in later years that this was changed due to safety reasons)?

Unsourced legal statements/rumors.

"Anticipation for the film was heightened by secrecy, which resulted in a legal dispute over an extra violating his non-disclosure agreement and the arrest of another man for stealing a computer containing various production-related documents."

Not one source. The paragraph entire only has one source, regarding it's reviews.

Hell, I heard a guy [after signing an NDA] was fired, literally set on fire, after saying the movie had Indiana Jones in it before it was released. His whole family was jailed too, for life. Everyone they knew was then renditioned and taken into the Balkans or something.

I am going to flip a coin and either remove the quoted part, or add a couple things I heard about into the article. [Guess which half is a joke]

postscript: the discussion is mentioned and sourced later in the article. Why can't they source it at the first mention?

Hm...I think the editors where trying to follow WP:LEADCITE, which advises against "redundant citations" in the lead paragraphs. However, as we can see with the reviews source you mentioned, exceptions can be made for content likely to be challenged (which this thread could be an example of). FallingGravity (talk) 06:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, I understand. I think it will be reasonable if I add some info where I removed. Mentioning legal issues and allow the reader to find it in the article for more info. I think the first part gave too much info for simply being a synopsis. 71.102.17.212 (talk) 22:58, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
