734:. The issue here isn't whether I "like the reference". It is irrelevant what your or my personal opinion is about the title. What matters is citing a reliable source, and neither IMDb nor Google Translate is a reliable source. In situations like this, if you spend a couple of minutes finding a source or discussing as we have here instead of griping about other editors who ask that Knowledge (XXG) policy be followed, there shouldn't be a problem. And if you would tone down the combative attitude and discuss issues you might not get as much push back as you have described. Knowledge (XXG) is a collaborative project without professional editorial oversight. Policies and discussion are necessary.

833:'". I agree with you that there are some editors here who make things unnecessarily complicated. And unfortunately there are also a few editors who feel that they should be allowed to play by their own rules; they usually drop out after they realize that can't happen. But dealing with both types is the price we pay for having an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Anyway, I'm glad we sorted this out, and I thank you for your contributions to Knowledge (XXG).

more accurate perspective might be a
Chinese film site. For instance, on Douban.com, the film has a 7.3/10 rating (almost comparable to the film's current rating on IMDB). Thus, it would be nice to at least see this fact mentioned and potentially a few lines regarding the film from Chinese critics as well.

My complaint was: an IP editor put in something useful and tried to engage on the talk page. I engaged. Then you came by and swung the axe. It looked like you didn't even try to find out whether the contribution was correct or not. Mentioning that the source was unreliable, as you did, can indeed be

I much appreciate that you engaged with the content. And when you sliced out the IP user's contribution, you went to the talk page. It reinforces that you are coming from a place of being helpful and cooperative. And if we cross paths in the future, I'll be mindful that we have different styles. --

Sorry! I got things off on the wrong foot. Thanks for taking the trouble to work on the question, read the reference, go check the film. I placed the information at the end of the lead section. I think putting the
Chinese name in the lede sentence would make sense for a Chinese film, but this is an

Thanks for your reply. I've gotten off on the wrong foot a few times myself over the years. But I still must disagree that it is rude to point out a policy violation, especially when the link to the guideline or policy is provided. It doesn't have to be done harshly (and I don't think I did that),

Actually I looked at the beginning of the film and see that the title is in
Chinese in the film itself. That's sufficient to include the Chinese title, although the additional source that you found (Yahoo Finance) is needed for the translation. Feel free to restore it to the lead sentence with the

Because of the film's contents and industry connections to China, I'm curious about its reception there. Most articles I've come across only refer to its box office numbers; however, seeing as China was in the midst of dealing with COVID-19, I suspect these numbers might be affected. So, I feel a

I'm all-in with helping to add the
Chinese name and Chinese coverage, even with my limited Chinese, but know that we would would likely need to defend it. Toward that end it would be helpful to have a Knowledge (XXG) login account. Being an IP user tends to lower credibility in Knowledge (XXG)

Of course the median edit that shows up on the watchlist deserves to be simply reverted. I have several hundred pages on my watchlist, they accumulate over the years. Nobody has the time or effort to check them all out. The fresh contributions from an IP editor or a new person --- or even an
