Let's talk...

Hello. Do you know why I added that detail on the English Wikipedia page of Top Gun: Maverick? You remove that detail, which makes me angry. So, let's talk about this... why did you remove the detail on the page of the 2022 film? Guy Without Name (talk) 15:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:The addition in question is the film's peak position on the list of highest-grossing films, for future reference. Adding that to the WP:LEAD is something that has been suggested, and rejected, since the film was still in theatres in 2022. The reasons it has been rejected are several, but basically boil down to WP:Undue weight. I would note that the WP:LEAD is supposed to summarize the body, and this is not mentioned in the body—if it is to be added anywhere, that would be the place to start. As for whether it should be added to the body, that would depend on how the sources treat that piece of information. By my reckoning, it is a WP:MINORASPECT that should not be mentioned at all in the article (as the policy says, {{tq|An article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject.}}). If there are sources on the overarching topic of this article—Top Gun: Maverick—that demonstrate that my assessment of the relative weight of this aspect is mistaken, I am certainly willing to reconsider my position on this.

::Exactly, exactly. I understand what you wrote, TompaDompa, and so the detail I added at the lead of that 2022 film should be added or not? Guy Without Name (talk) 16:47, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::It should not be added unless consensus forms to do so. The argument against is that it would be disproportionate to the coverage of that detail in the sources on the overarching topic (the film itself). The course of action most likely to result in a consensus to add it would be to locate sources on the overarching topic that prominently feature this information as a key facet of the subject matter.

:::::If you understand, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Top_Gun:_Maverick&diff=prev&oldid=1287775265 why do you keep adding it?] TompaDompa (talk) 13:25, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
