Do all 5 movies have to be redirected to the original?

No, and I don't think they should be. As more content is written about each one then they can have their own articles. After all the latest installments are rather different from the first. violet/riga (t) 08:26, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] It's Totally WRONG...

... for Dinah Manoff to be redirected here, as it is hardly the only thing, or even the best thing, that's she's done (I say Ordinary People.) This should be fixed ASAP, preferably by the original author/editor. (Hope that you watch this page.) Rlquall 02:52, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

It's easy enough to fix. Can I suggest that you do it as you seem to be familiar with her work - just click here and edit away! violet/riga (t) 10:00, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] citation needed

"There have also been murders where Chucky's catchphrase 'Wanna play?' has been used by the killer or where scenes from the film seem to have been imitated."

I smell BS.. Please quote source.

here you go, it was a murder in Manchester UK in the early 90s. A girl was held hostage and tortured before being doused in petrol and set on fire. Part of the torture involved her wearing headphones with the chuck catchphrase repeated through them.

[edit] Removed material

I removed the following because it is most probably utter B.S. Even if it isn't, it's POV, original research, and uncited: The series is controversial, and the film may have a strong psychological effect on some of its viewers. It has inspired constant nightmares and strong reactions of fear from a small minority of viewers. There have also been murders where Chucky's catchphrase 'Wanna play?' has been used by the killer or where scenes from the film seem to have been imitated. The first and second sentences are quite amusing, though. Either someone tried to make a joke, or they're one of the biggest wusses in the world. The third sentence is uncited, and most probably B.S. 24.126.199.129 11:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Childs Play.jpg

Image:Childs Play.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Gross revenue

The gross revenue in the sidebar lists $33.2m, but the box office subheading lists a total of $44.1m. Should these amounts match? Should the box office heading be merged into the sidebar and eliminated from the body of the article? Sottolacqua (talk) 18:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
