Some may think that the cities in which the film opened are select, but others would not. This error is epidemic. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile app edit iOS app edit

25 August 2019
- 12:5112:51, 25 August 2019 diff hist +5 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood →Wikipedia ending: changed if to whether. THIS PAGE NEEDS A GOOD READ. Words missing. Also Mark Lindsay connection (Paul Rever/Raiders) not mentioned. Mamas and Papas songs not in the list.
- 12:4512:45, 25 August 2019 diff hist +1 m Once Upon a Time in Hollywood →Pop culture references: Inserted comma after flamethrower for: "where his character burns Nazis with a flamethrower, is a reference"

21 July 2018
- 14:0914:09, 21 July 2018 diff hist +18 Warm-blooded →Defense against fungi: Sentence had a common flaw regarding evolution, implying intent on the part of the evolving species. Birds and mammals did not evolve it as a defense. It evolved, it was perpetuated in the population because it happened to provide a defense, and thus made them fitter, etc. There was no intent. But note, this should read that HOMEOTHERMY evolved, not warm-bloodedness evolved. I did not get that deep into it though.

- 13:0413:04, 4 October 2017 diff hist −10 Dream a Little Dream (Cass Elliot album) Trying to make first reference be Cass Elliot, because it reads released by Mama Cass, though she was billed as Mama Cass in the record. If it doesn't work, I'll change it back, but flagging it for you to fix otherwise.
