Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

What's your problem???!?!! I said that it was a possibility, not a fact, that the show lost its popularity. Do you think that it's definitely wrong?! Marcus2 22:29, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I haven't heard anyone but you blame the failure of the movie on a decline in popularity of the show (in fact, I've heard essentially the opposite; Craig McCracken lost interest right at the height of its popularity, which is why it went into hiatus), which is why I removed that claim. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:35, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

The height of the popularity of Powerpuff Girls was probably in 2000, two years before the movie was released. And remember, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. Show me your source, if you have any! Marcus2 14:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'd love to cite not having heard something, but I can hardly cite the absence of a claim. Could you possibly cite a source that it was declining in popularity by 2003? I don't necessarily doubt that it may be true, but it would help if you could cite a reliable source. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:00, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

At the moment, I don't have any sources. However, the truth is axiomatic. As I have heard from my parents, who know I have an obsession with the topic, more like a mental disease of hatred, merchandising for the show went down in the years following 2000. And even after the hiatus ended, the show never recovered from its loss of popularity. As you can see, its merchandising has decreased even further. You yourself said there was a time when Powerpuff Girls was at its peak. And if it was at its peak at one time, its popularity must have declined. Marcus2 22:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

This show was NEVER very popular. This is I why I am reverting your edits. I am also doing what Tregoweth had written in his edit. Marcus 22:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I think this discussion is getting needlessly personal. I've gone in and restored the original content, sourcing the story about the three actresses going on strike and changing the line to say that the show was "still rather popular" when the movie came out; this suggests that the show had declined in popularity somewhat, which will hopefully satisfy everyone.Multiverse
