Review aggregators

Regarding the descriptions of Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, there are no guidelines requiring a specific wording. Just because an editor or two have perpetuated a specific wording across many articles does not mean that other ways to word these review aggregators is forbidden. If anything, it is WP:OWNership to act like they have the right to change the wording to match the wording found on many articles that they themselves had updated. That cookie-cutter language is fallacious in assuming that readers know and understand RT and MC well, but we are not all movie buffs. When we write this encyclopedia, we have to write it for laypersons. That means disclosing that RT only sees reviews as positive or negative with zero in-between. As for Metacritic, it has that in-between category and also provides a prose-based summary. These aggregators should also follow commentary about how critics received the film, explaining what was appealing to them as a whole (if possible).

Hatnotes

WaltCD, WP:NOTAMB says, "It is usually preferable not to have a hatnote when the name of the article is not ambiguous." For both CODA (2021 film) and Coda (2019 film), both topics are disambiguated by their release year. We do not generally add hatnotes to film articles that have the same title but are separated by year. Readers that just search "Coda" will wind up at the disambiguation page. I am not seeing what makes this case different enough to warrant hatnotes. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 22:08, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Erik: I understand what you're saying, but respectfully disagree. The year the films were released is so close. Often times movies get copyrighted but don't get released for a year, two, or more, after. This appeared to be the case here. The 2021 film is currently getting tremendous praise and attention, but not yet widely released. Perhaps in the future this disambiguation could be rendered unnecessary. Currently, however, searching various databases, such as JustWatch.com, brings up just the 2019 version, with no year listed. As I mentioned in my original edit, having renowned actor Patrick Stewart lends credence to the film, making it easy for one to confuse a person into thinking that film is the Sundance Film Festival Award Winning film. Wikipedia can be a part of stopping the confusion.
(I apologize in advance if I've done this "Talk" reply improperly).

I see that Stewart's film, while released in 2019, got much more attention in mid-2020, so I guess I can accept that it is more of a one-year difference than two. Another editor stripped the details from the hatnotes, but I restored some back. I think we should avoid language like "award-winning" as puffery. I still don't feel strongly about having hatnotes, though, not having seen precedent. Maybe it suffices as a short-term approach. (And you used the talk page correctly, just indent your comments with colons before what you write.) Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No similarities whatsoever. Just typing in "coda” on a search line at Wikipedia leads to the Coda#Films section which distinguishes all three known films with the title. Wyliepedia @ 08:29, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 September 2021

CODA (2021 film)CODA (film)WP:SMALLDIFFS rather supports this previous title; this is precisely a case where "small details are usually sufficient to distinguish topics". Nardog (talk) 02:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to CODA. As a request to revert an undiscussed move, this should have been handled as a technical request before starting a discussion proposing a move to the longer title. Regardless, anyone searching for all-caps CODA almost certainly wants this film, which has been getting thousands of hits per day recently, compared to CODA (company), which gets 16.[1] A hatnote will take care of the small minority.
