:::::I can't even look at my edit now since it was removed, but I'm pretty sure it was not as dire as you're making it out to be, because everything was basically in my own words or quoted when I pulled exact phrases. But sometimes there's only so many ways you can word something. An example, if a source said something like (for the VFX) "Our team contributed to ''Black Panther'', working with the production team on the visuals of the opening prologue and main-on-end titles" are you going to make an issue out of it if the article stated " worked on the opening prologue and main-on-end titles for the film" because six of those words are "directly pulled" from the reference article? I'm with Triiiple on this, that you're trying to make an issue where there isn't one, especially in singling me out for no apparent reason. Taking specifically one of your example you're claiming is an issue: {{tq|Child development expert Deborah Gilboa felt the film would make a huge impact on children's spirits by offering positive role models.}}. To start, you're saying "Child development expert" is "{{tq|clearly unacceptable}}". Well, Giboa needs to be identified so doing "Child development expert Deborah Gilboa" or "Deborah Gilboa, a child development expert", is virtually the same thing (and something I'm guessing you'd take issue with too). The only directly pulled piece of info from that source is {{tq|make a huge impact on children's spirits}}, essentially 5 words. - ] (]) 21:54, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Starring
Considering the article is in process to being Good Article, I have a question; I added Sterling K. Brown, Florence Kasumba and John Kani, but they were removed. I confirmed that they are credited among the rest of the main cast before adding them. Or my understanding of a billing block is very different from everyone else? The films billing block was the one that credited major crew members and cast, not the one with a detailed list of actors and other crew members. Thank you all. — Nyanchoka : talk 2 me07:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
The billing block, as referred to here, is the section of text at the bottom of the film's poster that details the main cast and crew for the film. Those actors are not included in that listing. There are obviously lots of different cast listings for films out there, so the consensus is to generally stick with this one across film articles. - adamstom97 (talk) 12:03, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Can we add that Rotten tomatoes lists it has the best reviewed film.
Also best reviewed superhero film in both Rotten tomatoes and metacritic. Ashokkumar47 (talk) 15:38, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

This was the most diverse audience for a superhero film ever, for which African-Americans generally make up 15% of audiences.
Source: Black Panther drew the most diverse North American audience ever for a superhero film. Generally, black consumers make up around 15 percent of the audience for such fare. (Note that the critical phrase "North American" has been removed, changing the meaning in a fashion that violates V, but putting it back would make its wording even closer to that of the source.)
Joseph said the film was a rare opportunity for underserved children of color to see a major black comic character brought to film.
Source: Joseph calls the release of "Black Panther" a "rare opportunity for young students (primarily of color) to see a black major cinematic and comic book character come to life."

Some of these could probably be fixed easily, or are very minor and could probably be overlooked if it wasn't for the overall presence of so much closely paraphrased text (the last quoted example, for instance, is short enough that it probably couldn't be paraphrased all that much better than we currently do, and even if it could no one would notice if it weren't for things like us taking a source that says Child development expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa told TODAY Parents that seeing "Black Panther" could indeed make a huge impact on children's spirits. "Kids need role models and using it to write Child development expert Deborah Gilboa felt the film would make a huge impact on children's spirits by offering positive role models.I'm tagging the section as including an excessive amount of close paraphrasing, and the tag should not be removed until all the close paraphrasing has been removed. I will also be looking at the other sections, and if I find they have similar problems to this one, I will be opening a GAR (since, frankly, even just the above should be enough for the page to be delisted automatically). Hopefully this article -- which is, honestly, on my favourite film in my favourite film series -- can be saved, but it will require cooperation and consensus-building, not to mention serious critical source-checking, which was apparently lacking in the original GA review, which doesn't appear to have noticed this at all.
Earwig’s COPYVIO detector only returns two sources with an elevated risk of COPYVIO and one of those is an Misplaced Pages mirror, the rest are within the acceptable range. That said, the examples you listed can easily be corrected l.—TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
You can't rely on automated tools for this stuff. Any educated human can read the above quotes and see the close paraphrasing. "within the acceptable range" is an interesting turn of phrase, given that just yesterday an entire paragraph was lifted near wholesale (from a primary source published by one of the production companies) by Favre1fan93 (talk·contribs) (who it turns out was copy-pasting text onto the site as far back as 2012) and needed to be revdelled almost immediately. And there's the stuff that I found at The Defenders (miniseries). When 80% (?) of the article body is primary-sourced plot summary or a quote-farm, and the rest contains a significant amount of close paraphrasing, that is a very, very serious problem.

That is the automated tool suggested for use during GA reviews. If you removed a paragraph yesterday, then the tool wouldn’t have picked up on it today. Also I have no idea what is going on in The Defenders article.—TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:23, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
@TriiipleThreat: That is the automated tool suggested for use during GA reviews.

Now I find out that the article had obvious plagiarism problems that should have caused an autofail, and you are wikilawyering over the fact that the broken-ass tool doesn't recognize it?
