:As retired USAF I understand and agree with what you are saying in principal. However, and unfortunately - in WP is not where you can change the story as it was written. The article of any movie, book, tv show, etc - can only be used to reference the facts as they were presented in the show/material itself - and not the reality behind it. If in a movie Ed Harris says "the grass is pink" when we all know that the grass is green - then the article must reflect that per the story - the grass is indeed pink. Don't get me wrong - fact-checking and accuracy is largely the point of an encyclopedic reference such as WP... but in this context, it is only against the material to which it is referencing - despite it's own inaccuracies. I would dare say your notes & objections are better located on movie-specific databases (like IMDB). Either way - always be ready with citable references... be it here or there or elsewhere. Thanks!
