Steven Spielberg received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Honorary Knighthood

As Spielberg has an honorary knighthood he is entitled to use the letters 'KBE' after his name. However, as he is not a citizen of a commonwealth realm he can not use the title 'Sir'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.168.193 (talk) 17:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Influences and Influenced

On many wikipedia pages, there lies an area in what I believe is called the M-box (though I apologize if I am incorrect) that states his influences and who he has influenced examples would be H.G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ricky Gervais. I was wondering if anyone besides myself would think this beneficial. I do know that there does exist a small parcel on which todo this but I was thinking of something more along the lines of that which is provided above. 19:45, 5 December 2011 - User:Lanejlubell

KBE

Why is KBE the second thing after Spielbergs name writen in this artikel? Its a totally unimportant title that has nothing to do with his work and is never mentioned in any of his works. Please delete this from the intruction of this article. 79.254.142.165 (talk) 23:58, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ln the article on Steven Spielberg, the paragraph about Catch Me If You Can

indicates Mark Wahlberg instead of (I believe)Tom Hanks. ron

I can't see anywhere were it says Wahlberg was in that film--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:42, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

Remove "video game designer" from the header. His career relationship to video game design is not notable enough to include video game designer as one of his occupations. Just because he designed a few video games does not make him a video game designer. --70.120.83.126 (talk) 11:32, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Awards and nominations chart is huge, Split into separate article?

Should the awards and nominations chart be split into a separate article? Not including the length of the reference list, the award chart is about one third of the length of the article. The award chart is also slightly longer than the whole Steven Spielberg filmography article that has been split off into it's own article already. There is a smaller differently laid out award chart in the filmography article, that should probably be within after the big award chart. The award chart here could have its own article, or combined with the filmography article. Thoughts? Carlwev (talk) 18:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Night Gallery????

I thought "Make Me Laugh" (Season 1, episode 5) was Steven's directorial debut? Its on Hulu, and he's in the credits. http://www.hulu.com/watch/12231 --76.105.145.143 (talk) 10:54, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
