[edit] Discussion

Goblin (band) - really heavy metal? i dont think so. more like Italian rock or Progressive rock? (unsigned comment)

[edit] Weasel words

This article is filled with what Wikipedia calls "weasel words". Like: "Many fans consider this work to be his best". "It is widely accepted that this film....." "Most people view...." and so on.

I'm not debating the validity of these statements per se (they may well be true) but the article needs to eliminate those weasel words. If it's talking about his critical acclaim, there should be citations to a review of one of his movies, or maybe a link to a critical essay on his work, etc. NickBurns 21:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

This article has a lot of comments that need sourcing. For example: "His directing style was influenced by...."

I also agree with the other wikipedian about the weasel words comment. If we manage to rewrite these parts we can get up to GA status at the very least! Desdinova 23:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions regarding Opera & Zombi

I do agree concerning the criticism of "weasel" formulations and so on, and even if they would be acceptable I have a hard time seeing how "Opera" have little good fan response? I'm under the impression it's one of his most popular, which just proves the point of posting such dubvious info. And furthermore, was Argento in charge of the EUROPEAN version of Dawn of the Dead or merely the ITALIAN? There is a difference you know, and I know for a fact that Dawn of the Dead wasn't entitled "Zombi" all over Europe!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Suspiria.JPG

Image:Suspiria.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
