plot additions edit
(first three entries copied from User talk:Pilotguy) I see you reverted an anonymous editors changes to On Borrowed Time. I agree that his "sentimental tear-jerker as well as a magical, philosophical and well-acted story" statement is rather POV, and his spoiler warning is crude, but he did a pretty good job of expanding on the plot. Do you not agree? --rogerd 02:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, Rogerd. I re-registered under a new user name (forgot my original one) so I'm no longer anonymous. And in my second attempt to expand the stub I tried to fix the objections you raised. I still don't know what other objections PilotGuy had, and don't see why someone would delete an entire edit instead of just editing out the objectionable parts. I was ignorant of the POV policy, at least where it comes to art, since I see so much of it here, plus I had just watched the movie again after many years and was still caught up in it, so wanted to expand on the summary. Thanks for the hints on my editing, as well as the compliment. I'm a writer and editor by profession, and I always appreciate feedback. -- Wlegro (William) 12:36, May 27, 2007
I'd like to know if this text was taken from another website or if it's entirely original research because neither's really appropriate. I would at least like to see it all in a plot section (which is what you have appeared to do to most of them). It could be better written, especially to make it more encyclopedic. Take a look at related articles to get an idea of what I'm talking about. -Pilotguy hold short 16:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Assuming that it isn't copied from another website, I don't think it is necessarily original research. If someone has watched the film, and summarized it, it is not much different that if someone read a book or an article and summarized it here. In fact that is what is commonly done without outright copying, which would be a copyright violation. --rogerd 18:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Cast correction edit
Bondi plays Aunt Demetria not Gramps wife, Nellie 2001:5B0:4ACB:63F8:7176:B4B5:F96D:AC82 (talk) 03:32, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Nope. Just saw the movie and Bondi plays Nellie.
photo edit
The photo pictured here of a man and a boy is not from the movie version, "On Borrowed Time". The man is definitely not Lionel Barrymore and the kid is not Bobs Watson. 47.138.95.78 (talk) 06:14, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
