[edit] Discrepancy?

I was just looking over this page after I looked over the Lindsay Lohan page and it seems there is a discrepancy in how well the movie did at the boxoffice. This page says:

The movie did poorly, sliding down the box office charts nearly every week since entering on number 2 on 31 July 1998. It made a modest U.S. gross of just over $66 million. [1]

The Lohan page says:

The Parent Trap did well at the box office, bringing in US$92 million worldwide.^[1]

They are totally different, both in number and in attitude. I hope that someone with legitamate sources can fix this before someone else sees it, as who knows how long this has been here! --Jared ^[T]/_[+] 20:33, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opinion over fact?

In the trivia section of this page, the penultimate bullet points notes that it is 'strange' that Hallie and Annie's grandfather is aware of what Thanksgiving is, given that it 'is celebrated in America and not England.' While that's true, surely that's rather patronising to British people, and is only the writer's opinion? I live in England, and can assure you that most Brits know exactly what Thanksgiving is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.3.220.51 (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Trivia problem

I noticed someone put something about Lohan doing a nude scene. I didn't think it should be in there, and deleted it. If you want to put it back, please discuss it on the talk page before, or I will delete it again. And please use correct grammar. Metakraid 00:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Box at foot

I have reduced the box at the foot. Apart from the articles for the five movies - what does this add ? Most entries were red links, and the rest either link to irrelevant articles or redirect back to the movie. -- Beardo 15:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Camp

Wasn't the camp named Camp Walden? Wouldn't this be a more likely basis for the camp than one in North Carolina

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

Image:Parenttrapposter.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 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.

[edit] Plot Summary

The plot summary in this article seems a bit too long and intricate. Example: The sentence where its stated that its unknown how the parental couple disbanded, then says that they separated due to Nick not following Elizabeth onto the plane. It seems a bit contradictive and redundant (if that makes sense).
