that a something is a production company based seeing their name on a poster or whatever. Because editors insist on using their own original research to identify production companies, the consensus listed above says production companies should be explicitly identified as such by the source. This is to prevent people from saying, "Well, their logo is on the poster" or "Their name is mentioned in passing in this article as having been involved in some capacity".

in this film anyway, as it was previously reported by the trades to be just a Fox/Amblin production. Hopefully, time will bring forth some sources. I'm willing to cooperate as need be, NinjaRobotPirate. Also Radiation15, whether it's right or wrong, IMDb is never a reliable source to bring up as it is open for anyone to adjust and edit. ~

What is the relevance of the Wash. Post's activities in regard to the Pentagon Papers? Might as well do a movie on the LA times activities in regard to the Pentagon Papers. Only the NY Times activities were relevant in regard to the Pentagon Papers. So the reader of Knowledge (XXG) walks away from

If anything, I'll wait until the film nears release to locate some more secondary sources, because right now such information is so sparse that I'm not having any luck finding any that aren't primary sources. Honestly, it's relatively fresh news that DreamWorks, Participant, and the like are involved

Variety Insight is professionally maintained, fact-checked, and sourced in part directly from the studios themselves. It is probably the most reliable source that we can possibly have for this kind of information. Interpreting primary sources is disallowed; that is what you're doing when you say

s database, what then? Are we to acknowledge one and exclude the other because of a discrepancy in information? I understand Knowledge (XXG)'s policy of using secondary sources to support content, although primary sources may be used with cautious discretion but without personal interpretation. So

References 8 and 9 don't actually mention Nixon, and only ref 9 mentions Trump - and not in the way suggested here. They state that because the film came together in such a short timeline, it is one of the first releases to "respond to" the Trump presidency. As for alluding to Nixon - the film
750:
stating from that, if we cannot use the trailer or poster to identify the production companies, how come we can base the order of the cast (as it appears in the infobox now) on the same billing block from that trailer? Sounds a bit hypocritical but I digress.

doesn't allude to Nixon, it deals with his presidency directly - and, in a broader sense, you could say that this focus on Nixon *alludes* to Trump -- but that's not what these references are saying. find better sources please, or strike the line.

is not the sole universal metric to hold all reliability sourcing to. Let's say we were to find a secondary source that supported the other production companies and provided a completely different thereby contradicted

The article mentions the that the movie explores the difficulty of making decisions that seem clear 40 years later. Is there any information that could be added about how accurate that part of the movie is?
996:
Doing a search engine test, it looks like the film is more often called a drama than a thriller. For simplicity's sake, I would stick with that. The politics can be defined as an element in the film.

I know this an old discussion, but I would just like to say that we should seek secondary sources beyond Variety Insights, since entries are deleted from the page once the film is released.--
