The trivia section is huge! It needs to be shrunken, some of the information in the article needs to be put in new sections that can be started (such as the budget dropping in Production). But DO NOT JUST REMOVE IT! -- Cbrown1023 19:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I think I've significantly fixed the trivia section by moving some production notes to the appropriate heading and creating a section titled "Cameos," without deleting any trivia. I've removed the "too much trivia!" banner because I think it's fixed for now. CONSIDERABLE citation is still needed. Hondo11008 02:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
The comparison to the myth of Orpheus should be removed. It adds nothing to the article.
Under production, it says:
Not to toot my own horn, but I went to school with the director ( Luke Greenfield) and can verify this - I'm just not sure how, exactly to do it. Anyone got a suggestion?

Seriously I agree. I have seen so many opinions on here listed as "Criticisms from some" and such. Unless you have a source for your entries, I'll just delete content on here left and right and no one who has a say is going to argue since this movie has been out for god knows how long yet there are no citations. This is embarrassing. Timmyfitz161 ( talk) 23:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
From the "Critical Reaction" section: "While the film has been noted as an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life, critics have pointed out the lack of ethnic diversity in the supporting cast." Not only is there no citation, but who in their right mind would call this film "an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life?" I was a high school student during the fin-de-siècle and nobody in my school had any experiences even close to what the people in this film have. This is pure fantasy. Unless somebody objects, I will remove this sentence in one week from today.-- GHcool 05:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Image:Girl Next Door movie.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 ensure 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.

Did this really happen in the movie or is it just vandalism (which this article seems to attract from one-time users lately)? - Lwc4life ( talk) 16:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Yea, that happened...did u see the movie? Also, i fixed up some grammar in the end of the second to last paragraph, i think ud agree it was better than what was there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.69.48 ( talk) 18:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
i would have to diagree with the whole 'madelove' sentence. There wasnt much romance or emotion....just sex.
Though this may have teens in it-some of the plotlines dont really fit the whole teen movie genre, any suggestions?
I cannot help at the moment, but this article needs urgent attention in multiple areas. The synopsis is rather lacking, the grammar is repetitive and redundant in many areas, and the typographical errors need remedied as soon as possible. High Deity ( talk) 22:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
I removed the censorship of the word "fuck", according to Wikipedia's rules on censorship, "In particular, when a cited quotation contains words that may be offensive, it should not be censored. Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers should be used if and only if their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternatives are available." It needs to either exist uncensored, or be removed from the page. If someone wants to just rewrite the page without using that line, go ahead. earle117 ( talk) 20:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
If I remember correctly, the DVD of the movie contained a somewhat alternative ending to the story. Shouldn't this alternate be mentioned in the article as well? -- fdewaele, 5 January 2011, 15:56 CET.

I have come from WP:30, and I am in agreement with 75.177.156.78. The article does not have any of the things that {{story}} should be used to address, namely verbosity, hyperbole, irony, cliché, inner voice, and first- and second-person address. It is simply a summary of events, which is widespread across Wikipedia. Articles about films, books, events, etc. all sound pretty similar to this. If you still believe that this is too much like a story, why don't you give an example of how you would rewrite a certain passage to make it less story like?

The issue is: A plot summary of fiction inevitably sounds like a "story" because it is summarizing a story. More specifically, if the {{story}} template is appropriate for this article, how can the plot summary be written in any way other than sounding like a story? Note we are not talking about the accuracy of the plot summary; that would be an entirely different issue. 75.177.156.78 ( talk) 00:44, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
