Atlanta or Baton Rouge

The production notes claim that it was filmed at LSU in Baton Rouge. But both the first and the second movie have clues that Barden University is in the Atlanta (or North Georgia) area.

Edit request on 17 January 2013

A few days ago I made an addition to the article making a reference to the tv series Glee but was removed by another user, but I believe it is a valid statement and fact, and one that should be stated somewhere on the wiki article. The user deleted the article leaving a summary that the reference was a poorly written article but it think that was a defensive action from sometype of an emotional attachment to the movie Pitch Perfect, and the ref URL looks derogatory, the user was IP address 24.5.115.71.

Here is the edit;

The film also reflects many aspects of the TV series Glee, including, characters, dialog, interactions, and plot developments. <ref>http://www.wetpaint.com/glee/articles/five-reasons-why-pitch-perfect-is-basically-a-glee-rip-off</ref> Pusalieth ( talk) 13:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC) reply

 Not done Wikipedia articles are based on what reliable sources have published and not on the personal analysis and commentary that we as viewers and editors may personally have made.

Sexuality

It is offensively reductionist to define a character by their sexuality. The descriptions do not feel the need to point out the ethnicity of the characters, the sexuality should not be forced into the description because editors cannot think of anything else to write. It is also misleading when the film itself treats it a normal, incidental, almost irrelevant characteristic. Later in the story she admits to a seriously gambling problem (that started after she broke up with her girlfriend) which is an interesting characteristic but it is also not something the article should mention as a character introduction either. Perhaps more of the character descriptions should be shortened or removed entirely, but the description of the character played by Ester Dean is particularly bad and editors should stop trying to force the particular reference about a character being a lesbian. -- 109.76.6.232 ( talk) 16:39, 26 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Yes, your new example is contrary to your first, mistaken example. Geeze, how are we supposed to use other articles as precedents when they aren't identical? As it happens, this one word choice has absolutely nothing to do with GA criteria and other articles are not guides for us to blindly mimic.

You changed it (you forgot to update the dating of the source) to state that RT "gives" numbers that were true when you were editing. You might just as well have included that today is Sunday.

A lot of Wikipedia uses present continuous tense, and that is simpler to understand so I try to use "gives" and I'm one of many editing the film articles in that way. I get that these scores can change a bit sometimes but they are relatively stable and don't change very much after the initial release, so I think "gives" is clear enough. If you think in terms of an old style printed encyclopedia then ... I don't know, over the long term the score is stable.
If you prefer to use gave I have no problem with that either, go for it but do try to be consistent.
The reason I use gives/gave is that I object to many other articles that write that a film "holds" a score as if they score was not _made_up_by_ Rotten Tomatoes. (I'm not particularly happy with the word "reports" either. They (RT) don't just directly record or report the score like at a sports game, they look at reviews and interpret the 4/5 stars or 3/4 whatever other score, or even the reviewer might not have used that kind of a scoring system and then turns those scores into yet another number, and then use a system of averages, to come up with their final percentage, and this system is not explained well if it is explained at all. Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and others use different systems, so the final numbers are all a bit different, and you might care about those differences or you might not. I find them useful as an rough guide and try not to take them too seriously. Others will try to argue that "percent" (%) and "out of 100" (/100) are not exactly the same thing and I think they're crazy but that is what Wikipedia film editors have been consistently using for a while now.) --- 109.79.178.92 ( talk) 20:38, 25 December 2015 (UTC) reply

An editor change the character description of ... adding the claim that the character is "misogynistic". He is already described as egotistical, a neutral point of view easily supported by the film but the claim that he is is "misogynistic" is an opinion, a non-neutral point of view not clearly supported by the story. This edit could be discussed, perhaps the film made it clear this character was "misogynistic" rather than merely arrogant, but I do not think there is adequate evidence (not to mention relevance) to label the character that way. If any characters were to be described as misogynistic, the announcer at the competitions would be the most appropriate.

It is no more notable than her hair color. Pointing out someones sexuality in the character descriptions would be as crass and stupid as pointing out the race of each character, especially since it was clearly treated as only an incidental detail. -- 109.78.200.153 ( talk) 15:34, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply
An anonymous IP Editor has since removed the tag for this article, and Pitch Perfect 2 (PP3 didn't include the tags at the time). I think it was the correct choice. -- 109.78.206.13 ( talk) 14:57, 11 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Read an article accusing the film series of queerbaiting. [1] The article was from Them (website) which is a Condé Nast publication so it would seem like it might be a reliable enough source. It might be worth writing about this subtext and then maybe the above tags would actually eventually be relevant and appropriate. -- 109.78.198.186 ( talk) 04:25, 24 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Request for comment: new WikiProject for a cappella-related articles

Hi there! To any and all interested: I've proposed a WikiProject dedicated to a cappella. This would be a group of editors interested in improving the quality of articles related to a cappella. If you're passionate about a cappella—ranging from the Pentatonix to groups like the Vanderbilt Melodores, or perhaps pop culture representations like Pitch Perfect and The Sing-Off—please check out the proposal and share your thoughts!

Here's a link to the proposal for WikiProject A Cappella.

If you could see yourself contributing to an article related to a cappella (like this one), please consider joining!

Mickey Rapkin

Mickey Rapkin didn't base his book on his experience at Northwestern, as the intro says- he based it on his experience in Cayuga's Waiters at Cornell. Source; his own article in GQ: https://www.gq.com/story/cornell-a-cappella-hazing-scandal

I feel like this is pretty basic stuff that should be correcthere; but Rapkin himself doesn't have a Wikipedia page. 2605:A601:AC48:9D00:AC5B:8E83:3CE:245A ( talk) 23:49, 8 January 2024 (UTC) reply
