Talk:First Strike (1979 film)

Soviet vs Russian

The historically incorrect term "Russian" was used to refer to the Soviet Union (armed forces, etc). I have made the necessary changes. PEOPLE, PLEASE LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. IT MATTERS! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.12.110 (talk) 09:32, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Feasibility

Does the cite given (Sagan et al) discuss the article subject directly, or related subjects in general? It might be useful to have a fuller cite to show where exactly the information in the publication is featured. WikiuserNI (talk) 14:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Info I have about the book states he slams the documentary pretty heavily, calling it very unrealistic. I don't personally own a copy, but have read about it on several military forums and studied Sagan's opinions on nuclear warfare during a seminar once. -OberRanks (talk) 15:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind citing that info for the article? WikiuserNI (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Thought I did that with the book citation. I don't have a page number since, like I said, have only read about the book but not the book itself. If there is a particular citation format, I can format it in the proper manner. -OberRanks (talk) 15:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

If you got your information elsewhere you should cite that instead. The purpose of a cite is to let others know where they can seek the information. If you didn't find it in the Sagan book (you might, but you can only trust the other sources for that) you should let others know where you got it. WikiuserNI (talk) 22:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Citing The Day After

This movie is clearly referenced in The Day After. I was curious how the citation for this would appear. I guess a straight up link to IMDB would not be good enough since that was previously removed. Suggestions? -OberRanks (talk) 15:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Production

This film was not produced by PBS, but by KRON-TV in San Francisco, which at the time was an NBC affiliate. Chronicle Publishing Company is also credited, Which owned KRON-TV as well as the San Francisco Chronicle. Nowhere in the credits is it mentioned, insinuated, or suggested that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, otherwise known as PBS, or any local PBS affiliate was involved in the production of this film.
