== Source needed on video game high scores ==
 
See this removal: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Night_of_the_Comet&oldid=prev&diff=820120096]. It's quite obvious to anyone who ever played a video game that when you beat the 6th highest score, the previous 6th highest score just moves down to the 7th highest score, rather than disappearing from the top 10 list entirely. But nonetheless somebody reverted my edit saying so, and asked for proof that this is how they work. Can anybody provide this proof ?

I've rephrased some of the summary to make the meaning a little clearer. It read as though Hector's plan was to rescue Reggie then commit suicide. [[User:77.99.100.107|77.99.100.107]] 11:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 
: I'm grateful for the earlier efforts on the synopsis, but having just watched the film, I'd like to note the synopsis is still woefully inadequate, with some events out of sequence, some things misleading, and other things misunderstood. Additionally it seems oblivious to the dramatic reversal of expectations around Audrey's presentation, which could be difficult to put into a synopsis but still worthwhile. Other notes: Regina doesn't realize what the zombie is eating - technically it's true that she sees him eating Larry, though we have to infer this - until later. She doesn't run away; she rides Larry's motorcycle. The shadowy group has no obvious government links (note the prominent logo) and is called a "think tank;" Regina doesn't turn off the life support systems there, but Hector accidentally does. There may be some other noteworthy omission or error that I've missed, but that seems to be the highlights. By the way, do you think DMK always had that car? I'm sure he's looted the dealership, so maybe he swapped the plate off his old Datsun. Or maybe the kid really isn't DMK. We will never know. --Edwin Herdman 14:55, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 
::I've addressed some of the issues you raised. What I'm concerned about most is whether the creatures were ever called "zombies". [[User:Clarityfiend|Clarityfiend]] ([[User talk:Clarityfiend|talk]]) 20:50, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

:IIRC, the game she was playing was [[Tempest]]. [[User:ArcAngel|ArcAngel]] [[User talk:ArcAngel|(talk)]] [[Wikipedia:Editor_review/ArcAngel|(Review)]] 17:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
::That was the game. Also, the guy who nearly runs Sam down at the very end is Danny Mason Kenner, DMK according to the IMDb and TCM credits. [[User:Clarityfiend|Clarityfiend]] ([[User talk:Clarityfiend|talk]]) 23:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 
== Cover art blurb ==
 
Tweaked the Village Voice bit about criticizing the cover. Connelly's attribution of the synopsis to Shout! is misleading - this is the exact same promotional copy from MGM used on the DVD case from years prior. --[[User:Jtalledo|Jtalledo]] [[User talk:Jtalledo|(talk)]] 14:05, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 
== Lead ==
 
{{re|Megainek}} can you explain why you're [[WP:EW|edit warring]] to remove sourced commentary from the lead? The lead is supposed to summarize the the rest of the article, including the reception. What policy or guideline do you think justifies removing this content? [[User:NinjaRobotPirate|NinjaRobotPirate]] ([[User talk:NinjaRobotPirate|talk]]) 04:47, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
