Some tweaking of sections to cut down on point-of-view pushing

edit

Compared to other wikipedia entries about movies, some folks are giving Barbie a hardtime with convoluted passive-aggressive framing. These are mostly written in a more objective neutral fashion than this. Following the form & ettiquette of those other more cogent examples. Letting the NYT review summarize the overall critical reception clearly stacks the deck suggesting a mixed reception that isn't true. Muddling and burying as a form of synthesizing. Moving the NYT review where it is appropriate & makes sense.See https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Barbie_(film)&diff=prev&oldid=1215012885 Other changes and trims to follow. 2601:280:CB00:903C:7580:40A2:4539:C4B6 (talk) 16:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Barbillion"

edit

Is this noteworthy in a Wikipedia article? A made-up word by Warner Bros marketing? Seems rather silly to include a nonsense word. Feudonym (talk) 10:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

“Change The Kens indoctrinate the Barbies into submissive roles, such as agreeable girlfriends, housewives, and maids. Barbie arrives and attempts to convince the Barbies to be independent again.

Gloria's speech restores Barbie's confidence. to


The Kens exert their influence over the Barbies, mmaking them into submissive roles like compliant girlfriends, homemakers, and domestic servants. Barbie intervenes, striving to rekindle the spirit of independence among the Barbies. Despite her earnest efforts, she finds herself faced with resistance, leading to a deep sense of despondency.

Gloria, feeling the weight of societal expectations pressing down on her, passionately articulates her frustration with the double standards that women encounter in the real world. Her impassioned speech serves as a beacon of empowerment, reigniting Barbie's inner strength and resolve. With renewed confidence.” Westkayla (talk) 18:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: The previous wording is grammatically better. DrowssapSMM 19:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Movie poster is tiny - can someone upload a bigger version?

edit

When I click on the movie poster, it doesn't enlarge. I just get an absolutely miniscule image that you need a microscope to see. Can someone upload a larger version? MisterZed (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

MisterZed, since the film poster is a non-free image, Wikipedia keeps such images small as part of being a free encyclopedia. It's only used for identification here. If you want film poster images, I think another website is best. IMP Awards is one such website. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's not small, though, it's tiny. It's barely more than 300 pixels high. Why can't it be say, 600 pixels? Wouldn't that still be considered "small"? Also, in the past I remember such images on Wikipedia being larger. MisterZed (talk) 18:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
They may have tightened it over the years. WP:IMAGERES says 250 x 400 pixels, for example. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
