Language of the plot summary edit
The writer of the plot summary oddly uses the word "elope", as far as I can tell, to mean "engage in sexual intercourse". I haven't changed it because, for all I know, that is a perfectly acceptable use of the term. But I have never seen it before myself. I merely draw it to someone's attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.95.130 (talk) 01:16, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with 69.156.95.130 (talk). According to the Merriam-Webster website, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elope, ELOPE, an intransitive verb, has these 4 meanings:
- 1a: to run away secretly with the intention of getting married usually without parental consent
- 1b: to run away from one's spouse with a lover
- 2a: to slip away : ESCAPE
- 2b: to leave a health-care or educational facility without permission or authorization
- In the case of definitions 1a and 1b, where two people are involved, the consent of both eloping parties is strongly implied and fleeing together to another place is the key concept. For just the act of secret intercourse, fleeing need not be involved at all. So, having not seen Knightfall myself, which is it - clandestine sex (no eloping necessary) or actually eloping (running away to parts unknown with the lover)?

Credible source? edit
I am skeptical that this paragraph, under the Reception section:
"On the self proclaimed "Community Watchdog" website, Things You Should Be Told, Knightfall was listed as second on the list of "Entertaining but Historically Inaccurate Movies & Series of All Time". Its ranking as Historically Inaccurate was second only to the movie Braveheart which coincidentally covers the same general time period and overlapping historical events and people. [69]"
would be considered a relevant, credible, reliable source.
Furthermore, the References link does not work (https://www.RedDogWatch.com/thingsyoushouldbetold. Missing or empty |title= ) and I cannot search out a website by that name at all.
For these reasons, I would like to delete that paragraph from the Reception section, but I am afraid of how it will effect the References numbering. Can somebody who understands how such things work help out? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 12:59, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
