Genre[edit]

Per WP:FILMLEAD, "Genre classifications should comply with WP:WEIGHT and represent what is specified by a majority of mainstream reliable sources." It appears that just "slasher" is used by most reliable sources, where "erotic slasher" is much less used. This does not mean that erotic elements cannot be covered later in the lead section or in the article body. It just means that it would be undue weight to write "erotic slasher" in the opening sentence when that classification is not widely used in the real world.

Lead section paragraphs[edit]

Some Dude From North Carolina, 84.66.205.91 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), you both keep edit warring to, from what I can tell, have one versus two paragraphs and to have "It" versus "The film". To me, either version seems fine. What makes your version "better" than the other version? Please solicit a third opinion and go with whatever version an outsider endorses.

"X (upcoming film)" listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect X (upcoming film) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 30#X (upcoming film) until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Film poster[edit]

I recently uploaded a variant of the X film poster, which more effectively shows the average reader details of/the tone of the film. A similar discussion took place some time ago at the article for The Shining where the discussion decided that the UK version, more effectively represented the film. I would argue that a similar action should be taken here, as the US poster shows nothing about the film other than Mia Goth with some strange graphic representing... 2x4 pieces of wood(?) forming an "X" across the poster. I have reverted the poster image as a WP:BOLD move, and have come here to discuss the reasoning with other editors.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 05:36, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The poster you uploaded is exclusive to the UK market, whereas the current poster (featuring Mia Goth only) was the one used in both the US and Canada (the film's production countries), as well as in other countries. Whatever you think "effectively represents" the film is entirely subjective. We go by the image chosen by the main distributor (A24, in this case) to promote the film's theatrical release, not one's personal aesthetic preference. snapsnap ^(talk) 17:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Too many inline citations[edit]

Six plus inline citations for one non controversial section is too much. With respect, reverting this edit because User:MatthewHoobin "doesn't really see a problem with there being in-line citations to support cast credits" needs a better reason. One in-line citation is too much, if you ask me. There are plenty of citations all over the page that have cast listings. Policy pages consulted are MOS:OVERLINK, WP:REFCLUTTER, WP:ILCLUTTER and MOS:FILMCAST. Kire1975 (talk) 13:18, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further consideration, I accept this change on the basis of WP:REFCLUTTER, though I maintain that MOS:OVERLINK is irrelevant in this specific case. —Matthew - (talk) 21:33, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

X - Twitter[edit]

why is this the first page if you google "x" and not the twitter company? 2003:CF:E709:A1C3:45B6:2A80:3F50:91F5 (talk) 20:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because that is google ranking and has nothing to do with wikipedia editors genius 2003:CF:E709:A1C3:45B6:2A80:3F50:91F5 (talk) 20:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
