172:(article creator). I have been a Knowledge user for some time, and as someone who was not in any way involved in the production, I resent that insinuation. I added it to List of zombie films because it's a zombie film. I never added anything to the Romero page, and I only added something to Diary of the Dead because people have claimed that The Zombie Diaries stole Romero's idea. (In fact, Zombie Diaries had completed filming before Diary of the Dead was even announced.)

I would like to see some evidence of filmmakers asking people to spam Knowledge, because I've never seen any. The DVD, so far as I can tell, was not self-financed. It was released through 121: 261:- Movie itself has gotten some press, but the spamming is real. I don't think it is appropriate to punish these no-talent spammers by deleting their movie. 303: 323: 186: 94: 89: 98: 81: 212: 366: 362: 340:
This may indeed be a low-budget film, but it makes no attempt to hide that or to present itself as something it isn't. What it
