Untitled[edit]

Why does it say prologue at the end of the plot summary? Shouldn't that be epilogue (or that it should be moved to the start of the summary)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.219.21 (talk) 04:16, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image[edit]

Funkatastic first removed [1], than I removed again [2], the infobox image File:Ice Age – Collision Course poster.jpg as the image is for a short film called Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe which is a different film than Ice Age: Collision Course. See IMDb and official site for more on this. Until we get an image that represents this film it should remain blank. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the short does serve as a teaser for Collision Course, it is still an independent production. Its poster image gives the name of the short, not the name of this article and having it in the infobox is inappropriate as the infobox image should be a poster displaying the name of this project, not something else.

In the Ice Age 5 Collision Course article, it says the actor for the character Gavin is TBA. That is not true. Nick Offerman does the voice of this character. Please fix this. Assbuttfame (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback request - indigogate[edit]

I'm almost positive the reference given for "Carlos Ponce as a Shuvuuia" is inaccurate, can someone double check then rollback indigogate's edits? 68.41.43.52 (talk) 18:23, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SummerPhDv2.0 keeps on reverting my edits because he/she says my information is "unsourced" but I'm right, if possible can you block him if he were to revert my next edit to the page? Indigogate (talk) 07:18, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You need to tell us where the information came from. That is not my rule, that is Wikipedia's rule. If there is information in an article that does not have a source saying where it came from (a "cite"), anyone is allowed to remove it (as explained at WP:V). If you add the information back without showing where it came from, you can be blocked from editing because that is "edit warring" even if what you added was right.

You need to say where you got the information from. - SummerPhD^v2.0 14:27, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trailers as references[edit]

A trailer is not a verifiable source of info. What happens in the trailer may or may not happen in the movie. Character who appear in the trailer may be cut from the movie itself. Once the movie itself is released it is considered published and it becomes at that point a reliable source of info about its own content. The trailer is not the movie. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also the trailers shown so far don't have credits so therefore actor names are not listed. It is a presumption (likely, but not proven, correct - but see WP:NOR) that the voice actors for previous films will be voicing the same character in this one. Credits should be explicitly referenced either in reliable secondary sources or, most preferred, in the credits of the film itself after the film is released. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:41, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Starring cast in infobox[edit]

The starring list in the infobox should be as announced and only if referenced as starring in this film. It is a reasonable presumption that if they starred in previous films they will star in this one. Additions to the cast that have been announced should only be added if they are explicitly stated in the references as "starring" in this film. The starring list is generally short and will likely be supported officially by posters when released which will be definitive. this, the poster used in the article and these as well now states "directed by: Mike Thurmeier / Galen T. Chu", "starring: John Leguizamo, Keke Palmer, Denis Leary, Ray Romano" Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:23, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At Plot, "giving it rejuvenating properties" should be a link to Fountain of Youth in my opinion.

Plot summary[edit]

It contains many grammatical problems, resulting in convoluted sentences. 137.82.79.4 (talk) 20:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the paragraph should be like this: "It stars the voice talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Josh Peck, Simon Pegg, Seann William Scott, with Jennifer Lopez and Queen Latifah. Keke Palmer and Wanda Sykes reprise their roles as Peaches and Granny in Ice Age: Continental Drift, and Chris Wedge reprises his role as Scrat from the previous films. New additions to the cast includes Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jessie J, Adam DeVine, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield, Stephanie Beatriz, Nick Offerman, Melissa Rauch, Michael Strahan, and Lilly Singh." Because, the production credits on the poster shows the names of the main voice actors: Romano, Leguizamo, Leary, Peck, Pegg, William Scott, Lopez and Latifah.

Christian M. (2016) (talk) 03:53, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would like this to be change into this: | starring = {{plainlist|

Because, I believe that's how the credits are shown in the official poster. Christian M. (2016) (talk) 04:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SYN[edit]

Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, the film was a box office success, grossing $407 million worldwide against it's $105 million budget. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snoopybrown1987 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are about to be blocked as a sockpuppet of Deondrerye84. Once your block expires, feel free to come back under your original account to discuss the issue.

Your repeated additions to several film articles regarding their apparent box office successes or failure and you POV as to the overall nature of the films' reviews are synthesis. We do not have sources saying this film was a "box office success" or that this occurred in spite of "negative" reviews. Instead, this material is your combination of material from several sources that do not directly state that. - SummerPhD^v2.0 05:06, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Dino-birds joining the herd[edit]

Two of these Dakotaraptor originally held a grudge against Buck, but with the convincing of Buck and Roger, they helped save the world from the asteroid and become a part of the herd. 172.58.6.140 (talk) 13:51, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Write down[edit]

An editor removed the claim from the intro that this film was a box office bomb,[3] but also the claim "forcing a write-down of $53 million". I was going to revert this delete because the film clearly was a box office bomb, but someone else reverted it first. I checked the sources anyway, and on further inspection it is admittedly confusing for readers to be told that a film with a worldwide gross nearly four times its budget was a bomb, but should be made clearer that the film bombed at the US box office but did better internationally. We cannot be sure about Hollywood accounting or distribution deals and guess how much of the international profits ever went back to the studios, so the article should be very careful about making any claim other than that it bombed at the US box office.

However it is not clear where the claimed $53 million write down figure came from. The two sources added to the intro [4] [5] don't mention that figure or any kind of write down. It looks a lot like some editor made their own naive calculations and pulled the figure out of ... the air. The Box office section includes two references [6] [7] which don't mention any write down or the $53 million figure either. -- 109.77.203.37 (talk) 17:27, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the wrong Box Office Mojo link above, [8] but the point still applies. -- 109.77.203.37 (talk) 18:04, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
