Box office figures were added to this page by 84.173.13.117. However this user has also altered some pages in a way that seems to suggest vandalism. I attempted to verify these figures but could not.

Summer Catch was quoted as grossing $59 million but according to Rotten Tomatoes only grossed $19 million in the U.S. (I think) [1].

Road Trip was quoted as grossing $352 million but according to IMDb only grossed $68 million in the U.S. [2].

Of course the quoted figures could be worldwide but without references there is no way knowing whether they are accurate, estimates or completely made-up. I shall contact the user and ask him to provide some references. If anyone else can verify these figures, please revert my changes.

84.173.13.117 stated that:

These Box Office figures are secret from the Julian Thome Pictures Company and they are the total Box Office: Cinema, TV, Video, DVD!

So I have restored them to the article (see assume good faith).

[edit] Chronic vandal

This page is the target of a chronic vandal, User:Julian Thome, who is also the editor behind 84.173.13.117 and a few other similar IP addresses, many of which are now blocked. If he really is the only source for those figures, then out they come. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:03, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:B000092Q5C.jpg

Image:B000092Q5C.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nick Fury?

Are there any sources floating about out there that could confirm that he's even "in talks" to portray Nick Fury? Th 2005 15:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Earl Bassett 2.jpg

Image:Earl Bassett 2.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 insure 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.
