1- Why did this get moved to {2000 movie} instead of just {movie)?
2- Why 2000 when even in the article it says it's a 1999 movie?

-- Zoe

I don't know, unless # Trafic (1971) or # Tráfico (1998) had something to do with it--but they're not in English, so....? --KQ

Removed this paragraph as weaselly:

Rumour has it that George W. Bush sat down with his drug czar and told him to watch Traffic, saying, this is what the drug situation is like in America.

Encyclopedia articles should have a bit firmer foundation than rumor. 209.149.235.254 20:47, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

...the film avoids sanctimony and was responsible for renewed discussion of drug issues in the United States.

While I mostly agree, isn't this a bit fanboy-ish (non-NPOV)? Bananafish 05:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Analysis

I added the ploy analysis and I hope others will continue to contribute to it.

[edit] Cleanup

The article is lean on main content. We should kill the trivia section an its non-encyclopedic list and integrate it into prose for the main article. --Jtalledo (talk) 15:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I incorporated the trivia section into the main article. It's a little (or more than a little) disjointed, and could stand to be filled in with other information, especially the plot section. A brief plot summary would be helpful. Ckessler 22:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm currently working on the Development and Reception sections and will be beefing them up considerably over the next few days.--J.D. (talk) 22:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Academy Award for Best Picture

This article says Traffic was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, but didn't win. Yet on the following link also in Wikipedia - specifically the Academy Award Page, Traffic won the Academy Award.

The Academy Award for Directing is not the same as the Best Picture Award. Cop 633 20:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Traffic poster.JPG

Image:Traffic poster.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
