[edit] Trivia

The trivia section is huge! It needs to be shrunken, some of the information in the article needs to be put in new sections that can be started (such as the budget dropping in Production). But DO NOT JUST REMOVE IT! -- Cbrown1023 19:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I but the Production related information in a new sub-topic, production. But someone should fix the flow of that paragraph and the other Trivia needs to be moved out. -- Cbrown1023 23:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I think I've significantly fixed the trivia section by moving some production notes to the appropriate heading and creating a section titled "Cameos," without deleting any trivia. I've removed the "too much trivia!" banner because I think it's fixed for now. CONSIDERABLE citation is still needed. Hondo11008 02:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

The comparison to the myth of Orpheus should be removed. It adds nothing to the article.

[edit] Non related

I know that wikipedia isnt the place to put this but wtf, I love this movie. This is the first time i watch this movie nd im totally hooked up--[[ometzit<col>]] 04:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal citation?

Under production, it says:

Additionally, the prom in the film takes place in the cafeteria, much in the same way as the director's [citation needed].

Not to toot my own horn, but I went to school with the director (Luke Greenfield) and can verify this - I'm just not sure how, exactly to do it. Anyone got a suggestion?

[edit] "an accurate portrayal" ... ?

From the "Critical Reaction" section: "While the film has been noted as an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life, critics have pointed out the lack of ethnic diversity in the supporting cast." Not only is there no citation, but who in their right mind would call this film "an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life?" I was a high school student during the fin-de-siècle and nobody in my school had any experiences even close to what the people in this film have. This is pure fantasy. Unless somebody objects, I will remove this sentence in one week from today.--GHcool 05:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

But you surely would like to have such experiences. :)) I would like, too. - Darwinek 22:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I would also like to have the experiences the high school students have in the Harry Potter series. Does that make it "an accurate portrayal of ... high school life?" --GHcool 21:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure it doesn't :). - Darwinek 15:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed, as it's been eleven days since the first comment, with no sign of a source for either claim in that sentence in sight. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Girl Next Door movie.jpg

Image:Girl Next Door movie.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Matthew and Danielle in the limo

Did this really happen in the movie or is it just vandalism (which this article seems to attract from one-time users lately)? -Lwc4life (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
