Planet of the Apes = Animal Farm with apes.

As I explained above two years ago and again on my talk page last month, the recent mass of edits is not an improvement. It chops up the prose and puts the probably unnecessary media lists in the middle of actual article content. There was also considerable oversectioning and other pointless changes. The editor has claimed that their preferred style is the way all other media articles are, but this is obviously not the case looking at Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Trek (film series), James Bond in film, or Superman in film. This is a featured article, and it shouldn't be changed so considerably without a compelling reason. If this continues administrator action will be necessary.-- Cúchullain t/ c 19:38, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
@ Cuchullain: your reverts of recent edits that were completed in seeking to provide order to this messy article, do not begin to explain why those edits were not "compelling" enough to be valid. No admin action is needed, when edits are made that you disagree with or don't like. Please explain why you believe the page's current form is the best option. It has little to no order, and has a lot in common with fan-pages. Please be collaborative and detail why you believe this article shouldn't be changed.-- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 15:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Is it possible to revert back this article to a previous version before all the re-organizing of tables, that wan't discussed anywhere that I can see? For instance this one?
This article got a strong going at WP:FAC somewhat recently and I cannot see a consensus anywhere regarding the random moving around of tables (recently, made by an IP editor) that caused the current placement of two large, unsourced tables, that should be used as "synthesis" after the discussion of all the films, and are now placed before any explanation of the movies. The article looks a right mess so close to WP:TFA, with gigantic cast tables breaking the prose flow before reaching the cultural impact section at the end. RetiredDuke ( talk) 23:54, 15 February 2021 (UTC) @ Cuchullain: Ping as an interested party. RetiredDuke ( talk) 23:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
This keeps happening. I've reverted it once again.-- Cúchullain t/ c 22:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, can someone request that this and other POTA pages be places under protection. There is an IP editor who keeps changing character names, based on what I do not know. I would do it myself but don't really know how. Thanks! SonOfThornhill ( talk) 15:01, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Third paragraph of the lead claims that PotA is "the longest-running science-fiction film series in history" which just isn't true, unless it involves an obscure qualifier that discounts Godzilla (which predates the first movie by 14 years) at the very least. The sentence has a citation, but the linked article is just a listicle of the Apes movies with no source for the claim, or for the other claim in the same line about the franchise grossing $2 billion. 144.121.150.162 ( talk) 15:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
The Budget column doesn't seem to add up, does it? I get at most (given the premature addition for Kingdom) $692M versus the $852M in the table. SquashEngineer ( talk) 13:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
