Talk:The Birth of a Nation#Infobox image

I am posting this text, which, although it is very complete, well referenced and written, has some minor problems that need to be corrected. First, there are passages without references, this is most noticeable in the sections "Consequences", "White House showing", "New opening titles on re-release", "Accolades" and "In popular culture". Second, the "Plot" section should not have a reference by default since the source is in the film itself, but what I don't understand is why there is one in the second paragraph and in the rest there is none, in this case either a reference should be put in the whole section or not at all, and third and last, reference 40 of the New York Times [https://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/10/us/when-hollywood-s-big-guns-come-right-from-the-source.html does have an elence for it to be added]. For the moment I will not do a GAR because the article is very complete but even so these errors should be corrected. So I call {{ping|MagicatthemovieS}} who was the one who nominated the article to review it. 2801:1CA:E:1411:DD57:CBA6:D356:E047 (talk) 18:48, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

:A month has passed and the problems have not been resolved, as it says they are easily solvable but no one has been interested. Please call {{ping|MagicatthemovieS}} again to solve the problems. 2801:1CA:E:1411:62C:D6C:9D57:C071 (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

This is a bad article. It's absurdly long, repetitive, and has extraordinary NPOV issues. LesbianTiamat (She/Her) (troll/pester) 14:05, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|LesbianTiamat}} You're absolutely right. Also, a year ago I told the user that the article had sections without references and that the problem needed to be corrected, something that never happened. For that reason, and for what you've said, I'm publishing it in the GAR. The problems raised need to be corrected. 191.106.4.154 (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

I posted a change to this article that clarified this myth, but it was reverted and all mention of the film's White House screening was removed. I think this is relevant information that should be included especially given that several news articles have been published with incorrect information. NPR, The New Yorker, and The Conversation all state that this was the first film to be screened at the White House and that's just the first page of Google. I was even taught this during a college media class, which is why I was surprised when I learned it was (technically) wrong. I don't know if reference to Cabiria (the real first film screened on the White House lawn in 1914) is necessary. But removing all mention of the White House Screening seems bad.

:I don't know exactly what "myth" you are trying to correct, but there is a dedicated section detailing the screening. It is unnecessary to add details about Cabiria to the lead as it was not screened inside the White House itself. Betty Logan (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
