[edit] POV problem

Wow. I've never seen an article with a section called "Badness" before. "While the film is well-meaning, there is no denying its ineptitude." is also quite unnecessary. Remember NPOV policy: Wikipedia's job is not to state any value judgments on anything as though they were fact, even when they're universally, 100% agreed upon; instead, sources must be cited and people quoted for all such judgments. -Silence 01:10, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• I extensively rewrote the article, fixing all NNPOV statements, and skirting around the opinionated "badness" comments with the more impartial term "idiosyncracies". Also corrected some errors, such as the false statement that the world's first sex change was in 1952. Jorgensen's was not the first, it was simply the most famous in America. (The first sex change operation was in Germany in 1931, and was commonplace in Europe by the 1940s.) wikipediatrix 05:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Public domain

This film is on a list of films in the Public Domain. This article needs an explanation why. Design 10:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I contacted the user that is categorizing some of Ed Wood's film as public domain. See User talk:Ibaranoff24. Those films were created in the 1950s. Someone has to own the rights to his films consider the popularity of those films. --4.253.34.184 00:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

• Glen or Glenda?, Jail Bait, and Plan 9 from Outer Space are in the public domain because their copyrights were not renewed. (Ibaranoff24 02:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC))

Got any proof of that? I find that extremely hard to believe, especially in the case of Plan 9 from Outer Space which is almost certainly still owned by Wade Williams. wikipediatrix 04:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. Wade Williams does not own Plan 9. He has also claimed copyright on other films that are, in fact, public domain. (Ibaranoff24 13:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Correct title

I put in a request for this article to be properly moved to its correct title (Glen or Glenda rather than Glen or Glenda?). (Ibaranoff24 13:59, 21 October 2006 (UTC))
