Editorial dispute regarding categories
A disagreement exists between editors as to whether this film should be included in the category Category:Neo-Nazism in the United States. One side feels that the inclusion is warranted because Neo-Nazism in the United States is the subject of the film, the other side feels that the inclusion is not warranted because the film is fiction and not a documentary.
What do other editors think? Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:59, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- The category "Neo-Nazism in the United States" is about actual Neo-Nazism, not fictional Neo-Nazism. We don't include Reefer Madness in the category Category:Drugs in the United States. - MagicatthemovieS — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicatthemovieS (talk • contribs) 20:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- I don't see the difference between fiction and non-fiction in this instance. Since Neo-Nazism in the U.S. is what the film is about, and is not incidental to it, but the core of the story, it belongs in the category. I would also note that it's been oin the category for almost two years, since January 5, 2016 [1], until you removed it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:07, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- As I said, we do not include works of fiction in "...in the United States" categories because such categories are designed for real events. Pretty Woman is not in the category Category:Sexual harassment in the United States even though it depicts sexual harassment, nor is 12 Years a Slave in the category Category:Racism in the United States even though it depicts racism. No matter how long this article has been in this category, putting it there was a mistake. - MagicatthemovieS — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicatthemovieS (talk • contribs) 20:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Who is this "we" you speak of, and can you please provide a pointer to a policy that covers what you claim is the case? Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Alternate Ending
I have read online there was an alternate ending - which shows Derek Vinyard after shaving his head and returning to join the Neo-Nazi Skinheads. I cannot verify it. Anyone else read this? RyanDanielst (talk) 06:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- I saw that too, on the IMDB trivia page. Never seen it though but it would fit the tone better.
