Talk:Devil's Diary

Is this real?

Or is this just a bad joke? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.34.64.99 (talk) 02:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I wish people wouldn't use this talk page to discuss this movie. Go start a site or forum if you have an issue. Wikipedia talk pages aren't for discussing the article's subject. Drumpler 17:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Article upgrading needed: You can help

What do you think we've been trying to do? This isn't fun for us you know. This is serious business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.178.95 (talk) 07:43, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Death Note

I recall reading the producer of this movie is a Death Note fan, so it could indeed be a homage rather than a blatant ripoff. I'm off to find a source. Serious Business indeed.

I agree that we need to take action. Let us use Wikipedia to spread the word of intellectual theft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nanaya Shiki (talk • contribs) 08:23, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Um, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a soap box. If the creators of Death Note wish to sue, that is their matter. However, bear in mind, there is no such thing as an entirely original idea. All ideas are based off of something. Drumpler 10:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, even if the Japanese creators won't take action, we can prompt Viz Media to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvicksilver (talk • contribs) 09:28, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Then start your own webpage and link to it on each other's talk pages. Wikipedia is not the place to do it. Personally, it doesn't bother me and I'm excited to see it. Drumpler 06:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

This is a hugge ripoff of Death Note and lifetime should fire who ever made it. And to make matters worse from looking at the trailer not only did they ripoff death note but they made it worse! Taking a series that is a SciFi/Crime Drama/Thriller featuring some of the most intelligent character writing in an anime and turning it into teen angst garbage with heavy Christian overtones? Give me a break! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xalphin (talk • contribs) 18:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

People need to stop re-adding this section to the article itself. Unless you can find a reliable source that states that Devil's Diary is a rip-off of Death Note, it doesn't belong. Reliable sources would include books, reputable magazines and newspapers, journals, documentaries and the like. They are not the opinions of fans, an Internet message board, a Wikipedia talk page or any such material which can be posted up by anyone without any proper peer review.

Dominique's last name

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe Dominique is something like Davis or Davies. I thought that's what was on her father's headstone. But then again, she might not have the same last name as her father. I've tried searching the web, but I'm not finding anything. Xchorusxromancex 07:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The tombstone said Davies, but you're right, no one knows whether it's the same last name. --204.248.58.90 01:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Plot

Wikipedia is not a place for extended plot summaries per WP:PLOT. I have removed the material. A brief description should be enough. Drumpler 22:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I added the following on a contributor's talk page and am re-adding it here for clarification:

Hi. I had noticed you re-added material I initially deleted to the article in question. The material involves an extended plot summary and the "deaths" of the various characters. If you had read the talk page, I mentioned that WP:PLOT forbids unnecessary extended plot summaries. Here is the relevant Wikipedia policy (emphasis mine):

Plot summaries. Wikipedia articles on published works (such as fictional stories) should cover their real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot. This applies both to stand-alone works, and also to series. A brief plot summary may sometimes be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic. (See also: Wikipedia:Television episodes, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction), Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines#Plot)

"Sourced analysis" means analysis of a plot in a reliable source such as a literary journal (or in this case, a film journal).

The material that is often re-added here does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for verifiability (many add a section to this page about Death Note fans being outraged, when there's no newspaper article, book or anything of that sort which backs it up) and it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for plot summaries (detailed plot summaries do not fit the criteria . . . however, analyses of a plot by a reputable source would be appropriate).

IMDb link

Any reason the IMDb link is missing? --Datalyss 2:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Move

I can't figure out how to move pages but shouldn't this just be called Devil's Diary? The year of the film in parenthesis in the title is only used to disambiguate from other things sharing the same title, there does not seem to be anything else with this title.
