== Censored == Barney is PIMPOLICOUS with his quote "Im Rich Bitch" Id like to discuss the issue of profanity on wikipedia. I just removed "fucking" from the phrase "I'm not your fucking mommy!" in the article of the ring 2. I think, since Wikipedia is a free encycolpedia, it should cater to everyone, including, perhaps, the occasional young user. I don't know, maybe I'm being too extreme with this, but I do think "fuck" and other profanity might be too bad for the free encycopledia. Opinions?

Wikipedia is not censored. If we're going to include the quote, then we certainly shouldn't misquote it (it's factually incorrect to claim that the character speaks a different thing to what is actually said). Removing the word leads to an incorrect quote, and as stated at Wikipedia:Profanity, this isn't something we should do, nor should it be replaced with asterisks. Mdwh 02:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cliffhanger?

Why does the plot summary (which is preceded by a spoiler warning) end on a cliffhanger? This is an encyclopedia, not the back of a movie case. I'd change it myself, but I haven't seen the movie.

I agree. Someone should add this info, but i havent seen the film Rossheth 00:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I have a question.

How come no one is adding the differences between the theatrical and unrated versions of The Ring Two? Both editions are out, so how come no ones filling up that subsection?


I added a small paragraph about the unrated edition, but I don't think I remembered everything that was added, and the paragraph probably needs to be cleaned up... --Wikicali00


[edit] Here's the ending

I wrote the plot summary originally and decided to add the ending. You have a good point about this being an encyclopedia and not a movie review. --Wikicali00

Im not the above user but I agree. I also added the conclusion section to the first movie -- Psi edit

[edit] Request

If there's anyone reading this who is more experienced on writing about movies in an encyclopedia-based format than I am, please help by cleaning up this article. I gave a VERY wordy description of the plot and hope somebody can use the information to fix it. --Wikicali00

[edit] Film Name

Does anyone know if the "official" name of the film is The Ring twO (as spelled)? Most of the reviews I've seen (including the article) indicated The Ring Two or variants, but the box cover, advertising and most promotional items state "twO". Anyone have an idea on that?--み使い Mitsukai 03:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

That is purely for aesthetic effect, I'd wager. The "O" is meant to symbolise the ring itself and doesn't have any impact on the way the title should be written. 65.145.213.126 06:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
My DVD box cover says "The Ring Two". I've never seen "twO" when written in text, and not part of that logo. Mdwh 21:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

Can someone possibly provide rationale as to why the Plot section is tagged for cleanup? I see nothing in the way of it needing such attention so I am wondering if the original tagger can provide some insight into what needs to be done, otherwise I will remove the tag. 65.145.213.126 06:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I was the one who originally wrote the plot summary and requested it be cleaned up because I wasn't happy with how it flowed in an "encyplopedia" format. It appears a lot better now, and if you want to remove the tag, by all means, go ahead. Wikicali00

[edit] When will The Ring Three be released?

Does anyone know the release date of The Ring Three film? Although it had been confirmed, Dreamworks does not give us an actual date. Will it be released in 2008? --Siva1979Talk to me 15:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why Munchausen rather than simple abuse?

Can someone indicate where the reference to Munchausen by proxy is in the movie? I have just seen the movie, and there is no such reference. There is no indication that the psychiatrist suspects Munchausen rather than plain abuse, and I see no reason to introduce this specific term where it is nowhere else stated. If I am wrong, please state, but as a psychologist, the situation presented by the protagonists in the movie looks nothing like Munchausen by proxie, far from it. mark'huss - oct 10 06
