Result: Keep. All concerns have been addressed. Femke (talk) 07:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a citation needed template in the visual effects section, the music section is quite empty and per WP:IMDb it is not a reliable source. Sahaib (talk) 06:37, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahaib: I have removed the information regarding the Citation needed template, and have added a bit of Spider-Man: Original Motion Picture Score's lede to the Music section. I'm not sure what you mean by WP:IMDb though. — SirDot (talk) 06:52, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SirDot:, IMDb is cited in the Accolades section. Sahaib (talk) 06:58, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sahaib: Thanks. I've removed the ref. — SirDot (talk) 07:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plot section[edit]

Hello. I think we should need to discuss a potential rewrite of the article's plot section. At the moment, the current word count is 580 words, but the past few edits increased the word count to at least 629 words. I also have some concerns we should address: for example in the scene regarding Ben's death, the important part is that he is carjacked and killed by the thief that Peter allowed to escape; how Peter lets said thief escape, not so much. There's also Wikipedia:How to streamline a plot summary, which is an essay on how we should remove unnecessary words in plot summaries such as this one. If there are any other thoughts or suggestions on how we should revise the plot summary, please post your thoughts here. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did a pretty thorough streamlining and trimming of the section recently. @Shamus248 felt that my editing reduced the quality of the section, and reverted the majority of my edits. The section now—after some editing by @Sjones23—is fairly similar to my version, and I'm happy to keep it as is, though I may make some very small tweaks.
I think the only question is whether @Shamus248 feels strongly that the section needs to go back to their version. If so, they need to provide an explanation. When reverting my edits, their edit summary was, "this was fine as it was before y'all took a hatchet to it". When I asked for clarification, they said, "I don't have any *issues* with your edits or anyone else's edits. I just thought the plot summary was solid as it was."
@Shamus248, I'm not judging you or your editing. I just want to get @Sjones23 updated on what's been happening with the section and the communication we've had. Wafflewombat (talk) 08:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, go ahead and undo any of my edits you wish. I won't kick up a fuss. I will, however, offer some input.
Some footnotes I think are important to remain in the summary RE: Ben's death: i think it's important to mention that Peter is cheated out of his $$, the event promoter is robbed, Peter lets the thief escape in retaliation, then that same thief kills Ben. We certainly don't need to bloat up the summary with how this effects Peter, just that it's an important chain of events, so I think those 4 pieces are all necessary to retain. Shamus248 (talk) 16:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
a small tweak i'd suggest is "Peter is cheated out of his earnings" as opposed to "cheated out of his cash reward" but that's just me nitpicking lol Shamus248 (talk) 16:49, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
