Untitled[edit]

A lot more info on this from blogs. But we can't include that right? Kmm8392 (talk) 15:29, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs are generally not included but you can read about self-published sources which includes information on when their use is appropriate. Wperdue (talk) 15:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. I added a category for documentaries but it says there is no categories. Also-doesn't the official site count as a source? I want to make sure I'm getting this right... Kmm8392 (talk) 15:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see the category at the bottom of the page. As to your other question, you will want to add reliable third-party sources to establish that this film is notable. These can be newspaper, magazine, television, or internet sources and even things such as radio interviews. They just have to be verifiable in some way. I started by adding one from the Irish Times. Just follow that template, and you should be fine. Wperdue (talk) 16:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How many resources before we can take down the wiki citation alert? Kmm8392 (talk) 02:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-Re:POV?-[edit]

Hello... Just a question, this is a currently controversial subject, & I am interested in reading viewpoints opposed to any issue seeking a general consensus- like environment policy change - but this article seems more like a publicity page for the film-makers? Has there been NO counter-arguments about the films at all in trade magazines or related issue journals? Would be nice to see even one 'Negative' review for a sense that it has actually been viewed by someone in the larger world. Or are these productions so small, (or just 'vanity' productions) that they do not attract a high enough level of interest to have developed ANY serious criticism? Also the article itself is badly composed & could use a going over for grammatic clarity. Run on sentences & so on. I don't have the time but maybe someone could try & spiff it up a little, it just 'read' awkwardly. 71.6.81.62 (talk) 04:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)mbd71.6.81.62 (talk) 04:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

re: POV
I agree with the previous commenter that this page seems more favorable than neutral--particularly under "Previous films" and "people involved." I also find the section on funding inadequate--who provided the original $1 million? Whether or not it was the fossil fuel industry is a relevant question, given the industry's record of funding skepticism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.225.159.225 (talk) 22:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

it does not only seem. IT IS POV.. --Dubhe.sk (talk) 18:05, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tone of the article[edit]

Don't you think the tone of this article should be revisited given current revelations. There is a distictively skeptical tone vis a vis the tone of the article on "An Inconvenient Truth"

Sources[edit]

You can't source facts to the films website. You can source it for its own opinions William M. Connolley (talk) 08:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested cleanups for NPOV and tone[edit]

The tone of the reference to the premier not being the first showing of the film seems petty as most films are screened extensively prior to the official premier. The long quote from "Mother Jones" should be paraphrased and cited as it currenly reads like a POV paragraph. Many references to Micheal Moore are desultory and out of place. It seems from the comments that most editors have not seen the movie the article is about. Good practice would be to have at least this familiarity with the subject prior to submitting edits.
