Summary of critical response

The article intro contains warning comments  and

These warnings appear to have been ignored repeatedly and a summary added anyway: "The film received generally favorable reviews from critics for the cast and visuals, but criticism for the script". An anon ipv6 seems to be just the latest example[1] of someone ignoring the comments and expanding the attempt at summary of the critical response without any discussion.

Previous discussions:

Could editors familiar with the past discussions please restore the to whatever the consensus was (or delete the warning comments). -- 109.78.211.204 (talk) 14:00, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MASEM has cleaned up the intro.[2] I will take this as the last good version.

If editors want to do something different please discuss and establish a consensus first. -- 109.78.211.204 (talk) 14:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The warning comment was ignored again, so I removed the attempt at a summary of the critical response again.[3] -- 109.78.196.125 (talk) 21:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ignored again, but promptly reverted.[4] Are editors actively ignoring the warning or is it invisible to visual editor users? -- 109.79.73.171 (talk) 06:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack Singles

I think the song "Saw it Coming" by G-Easy ft. Jeremiah the single should be a page. Enter your username my name was taken (talk) 17:39, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 31 May 2021

Ghostbusters (2016 film) → Ghostbusters: Answer the Call
Support,The poster, the credits at the very end of the movie, and Paul Feig himself have all referred to this movie as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. Even BEFORE the home media release. I think that is a more appopiate name for this article. ScottSullivan1 (talk) 07:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
