Talk:Fan edit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, obviously no one looks at this page, but I'll be polite and post a message anyway: I am removing the "needs copyedit" tag because I think the article is suitably copy-edited. Also, I removed some POV a while ago, but forgot to post a talk thing about it.

[edit] Removed cleanup tag

I updated the entry with some references and external links, so I removed the cleanup tag.

I remeoved Superman The Junkyard Cut, because it is neither finished nor available, so no one cares.

It was finished, it just became something else entirely.

[edit] Notable?

I'm not sure what criteria we're looking at for 'notable' but I removed three, two because a google searched turned up nothing, and one becuase it's not even finished.

I think more of these should be cut as I don't see any criteria that makes the 'notable' except "The Phantom Edit" which is notbale as being one of the first. BoosterBronze (talk) 19:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I googled all of the names of the supposed 'notable' fan edits, and they all came up with almost identical results- Fan-edit message boards, youtube trailers, and reviews on superhero movie sites. But if you google any fanedit NOT on this list you come up with basically identical results. We need some sort of criteria if we want to keep that section. It reads like a vanity article.

I removed Superman II the "Fan Cuts" from the 'Notable' section. At the very least the fanedits listed have a description that carries some information about what the film is, and what fanedits try and acheive. The "Fan Cuts" description said it 'addressed criticisms many fans had" which is both vague and weasel-worded. BoosterBronze (talk) 15:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Star Trek: Phase II

Star Trek: Phase II is described here as a fan edit series. The Phase II series (formerly known as Star Trek: New Voyages) is actually a fan-made production, using entirely new footage, and has a comprehensive Wiki page. The fan edit ("In Thy Image") is a version of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, created by the same man as the fan series, and also sometimes referred to as "Phase II" because it was edited to resemble a TV pilot for the aborted series of the same name which was originally intended to be a follow-up series to ST: The Original Series and eventually became Star Trek: The Motion Picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.146.123 (talk) 13:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
