Wording edit
Untitled edit
"dogged persistence" sounds way too pejorative to be in this article, so I've changed the wording to "penchant for." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.179.46 (talk) 04:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I further changed this statement and moved it—see the talk discussion "Silent films". Matuko (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Picture edit
Guy Madden provided a picture by email to me which I uploaded. It seems to be working? Michaelrayw2 (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Layout edit
Is it just me or is this page non-conforming to generate wiki layout guidelines? The intro is too long, etc... 75.55.51.235 (talk) 19:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Silent films edit
The description of Maddin's use of (described as a "penchant for") silent films as "his most distinctive quality" is an opinion, and an unsourced one. So I moved the reference to the second graf of the introductory section, re-worded it, and added a citation. Matuko (talk) 17:36, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Filmmaker edit
The accepted spelling is "filmmaker" not "film-maker", and both spelling's appeared in this article. I've changed all instances of the latter to the former, but have retained "film-making" which should probably also be changed, but I don't think it as egregious an error.
