Way Too Long

The paragraphs in this article are far too long, and almost to the point of rendering the content incoherent and nearly unreadable. 73.213.120.14 (talk) 05:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please. The hatnotes alone are unreadable. --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 20:03, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

HBO in Space full length Feature Presentation reintroduction

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Home Alone movie premiere that was cited as a source in a previous edit regarding the reintroduction of the full length HBO in Space open is a fanmade YouTube video. HBO has never aired a full length version of the Saturday Night or Sunday Night Movie variants of the open Tmacmusicmagician (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I tried adding a comment, tucked away in the caption under the full-size logo linked by the article, but someone removed the line I added, which said that the original artist had himself noticed errors in the logo in a variety of usage contexts.

I dunno.... you try to get information out there, & people stamp all over it for reasons of keeping wp "pure". again, this was the guy who designed it saying this.

the youtube link here isn't original research, it's an interview with the actual designer. but if it's not appeared in print, it isn't acceptable, apparently.

do me a favour, wp editors- follow the lifecycle of a story from a face-to-face interview all the way through to printed copy, & tell me how it's better than what is clearly a real conversation recorded & posted uncut to yt.
