== Rotten Tomatoes Audience Rating for The Red Pill ==
== Thanks ==


Hi: Thank you for being a volunteer in Misplaced Pages!
Thank you so much for the information and the Welcome. I have used Misplaced Pages for some time, but have never did any edits. Hopefully I will pick up the etiquette and formats in quick order.


Noticing that, per ], you've had to regularly roll back user edits that point out the wide discrepancy between critic and audience ratings for ] on , when those edits quoted the current audience rating on RT. Also noticing that the UGC rules state that user-generated content is "generally" unacceptable (as opposed to a categoric "always" unacceptable).
Take care. sunpacer 08:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC) <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


I wonder, with the large critic/audience discrepancy being worthy of note and the number of audience ratings being massive by comparison (over 1000), could it be considered acceptable for the Wiki article to simply state that RT audience ratings for the show are vastly different from the RT critic ratings, and then reference the external link to RT? (notably different from previously reverted edits, we'd leave out the actual user rating percentage.) ] (]) 10:11, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

I am a professional pilot and a flight instructor. On your reversal of my post to LIFT, I disagree that the next section is the same explanation.

Because technically, there should be only one section explaining the lift force with Newton's laws, not 2 or 3.

: Hello, each article on wikipedia has an associated talk page where editors can discuss changes to be done to the article.

Dear Wikimedian,
The rules? I operate by the simple of rule of being allowed to offer a different side to the information that is being broadcast, whether rightly or wrongly, on this website. People come here to see new explanations and develop their own personal learning experience. With any experience surely one side of an argument or view is not enough to offer a balanced side. I simply apply the rule and logic that my edits offer alternative information to those who seek it. Why should this be censored or disregarded just because it does not fit in with the 'norms' that usually govern this site??? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 05:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Rotten Tomatoes Audience Rating for The Red Pill

Hi: Thank you for being a volunteer in Misplaced Pages!

Noticing that, per UGC rules, you've had to regularly roll back user edits that point out the wide discrepancy between critic and audience ratings for The Red Pill on Rotten Tomatoes, when those edits quoted the current audience rating on RT. Also noticing that the UGC rules state that user-generated content is "generally" unacceptable (as opposed to a categoric "always" unacceptable).

I wonder, with the large critic/audience discrepancy being worthy of note and the number of audience ratings being massive by comparison (over 1000), could it be considered acceptable for the Wiki article to simply state that RT audience ratings for the show are vastly different from the RT critic ratings, and then reference the external link to RT? (notably different from previously reverted edits, we'd leave out the actual user rating percentage.) Douglas Butler, Victoria, BC (talk) 10:11, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Fighter generations in lede

May I ask where the consensus mentioned here was established? I was recently involved in a similar dispute over unsourced changes to the fighter generation in the HAL Tejas lede, but removing the generation altogether would hopefully end the issue. - ZLEA T\ 17:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello ZLEA, not sure I can point to a specific discussion. However, if you look at the archives of the Aircraft Project, there are multiple discussions about generations in articles, categories, in dedicated articles, this one for example, Fifth and other fighter generations. Essentially the outcome is that the generations are mostly made up, blurry, marketing categories that should be deemphasized in the articles. Also, if you look at the history of articles such as F-22 and F-35 across the years, you can see that the generation information has been steadily removed my multiple editors. --McSly (talk) 20:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
