Stop removing Elizabeth A. Bell

User Doctor Harablert keeps removing Elizabeth A. Bell from the producers field in the infobox without any explanation, while she is clearly in the billing block (1, 2 - also official credits mirrored at Variety) and I'm starting to question the user's previous edits as well on the article. A little help and admin oversight would be appreciated. Punkalyptic (talk) 01:43, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, user Ronald456as has been removing the same content, having created the account in the middle of this edit warring, so it's probable that he is the same user as Doctor Harablert. Both have been doing this without giving any explanation, and after having been warned multiple times from me and other editors. Punkalyptic (talk) 01:00, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Weinstein Company credits not removed as article claims

The article currently claims that The Weinstein Company has been removed from the final credits for home and streaming audiences. However, as of Aug 6th 2018 the Netflix version of the UK still contains a screen in the end credits reading "The Weinstein Company presents". (As the article is currently locked I cannot make an edit)

Just want to confirm this, as of 27 Dec 2019 Netflix streaming still credits The Weinstein Company. --Fx6893 (talk) 02:27, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

adding criticism from an Indigenous filmmaker

I had added this paragraph(/sentence) below to the critical response section, but it was rejected by Barkeep49^[1] "Not clear this tweet deserves equal footing with other parts of the critical reception"

I think that Jeff Barnaby has more standing in Indigenous filmmaking than the Native reviewer already quoted in the entry, although a twitter thread does have less standing than a published review... But also Barnaby's response illustrates there are not only positive reviews of the film, which is the basic thrust of everything else in the section, and it is a Native voice of which there is only the one other quoted (having multiple Native perspectives on this film is important).

"Mig'Maq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby had a less positive take, sarcastically tweeting^[2] in reference to the film's commercial success, "Wind River is now the foundation of knowledge for sexual assault against native women. GREAT. F*@!%#G. JOB. EVERYONE who promoted that movie," describing it as a "white take about the murder and rape of indigenous women" profiting Weinstein, and noting "The rape victim Natalie was not played by a native American actress."

*also I had spelled out F******G when copy and pasting from twitter but Wikipedia auto-rejected it, thus the characters now in the middle. 2620:22:4000:1204:3FFE:1294:76E6:E839 (talk) 03:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this bit while doing some Pending Changes patrolling. I accepted the tweet as a good faith edit but then reverted it because it was cited to Twitter. It has nothing to do with the viewpoint but rather an aversion to linking to content from Twitter. If other editors of this page feel it should be included fair enough. Note: I am not watching this article or following this discussion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:45, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First Mention of Pete in Plot Section?

hi Billmckern, i saw you edited my recent change! just have a quick question, since i don't know anything about this movie and stumbled upon this article while looking up the movie from a reddit post. i'm under the impression from a quick google search that pete is a significant character, but as it stands, the first name drop of him makes it sound like he's just a random guy. before i edited the sentence, i was really confused if i had missed a character mention beforehand. is there a way to describe him that makes better note of his significance to the plot, like "ringleader of matt's colleagues" or something along those lines?

thanks in advance! hatchet 🪓 (treehouse | axe marks) 04:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hatcheted-Man: Interesting topic. My memory is that Pete isn't even mentioned until late in the film -- during the climactic flashback to the attack on Matt and Natalie, followed by the law enforcement approach to Pete's trailer door. Pete's a non-entity until suddenly he's not. I think the description as currently written in the plot summary is fine, but if you have a better idea, I'm sure we can come to agreement. Billmckern (talk) 23:02, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oh, i see! if that's the case, could we word it as such:

In a flashback, Matt's drunken colleagues~~, including Pete,~~ barge into his trailer while he is in bed with Natalie. Matt is provoked to violence, and ~~the other guards~~ his colleagues or maybe the guards retaliate while one guard (Pete) rapes Natalie. Matt is beaten to death, but his attempt to fight back allows Natalie to try to escape by running cross-country to the mobile home where her brother lives. hatchet 🪓 ( knock on wood | track the trail) 19:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
