Why was a free-to-use picture of David Corenswet removed? if there was a reason, is there another picture we can use. Jstewart2007 (talk) 03:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
News of Corenswet’s Superman casting has been added and removed from first paragraph a few times. I agree that, in general, mere casting announcements should not be in top paragraph, but because Superman is a hugely popular existing character, this casting has been big international news, trended on Twitter etc, so I think it’s significant enough and should be allowed to be put in first paragraph.

I have not been “edit warring.” I put the info in only once, two days ago, and have not tried to re-enter it after you deleted it. Rather, several other people over the last few months have put the info in the lead and you have deleted it each time, based on your mistaken understanding of the notability, cultural significance and wide international discussion of this casting, which would be a notable fact about Corenswet even if he died tomorrow. It would be all over the news, and far from being “a footnote,” the casting would be the first thing said about him, and the only reason it would even be widely reported in the news. What troubles me about your take, Krimuk, is not that I care about the substance of the info, but that you and JDDS have repeatedly used your superior Wikipedia editor status to erase info based on a mistaken understanding of its status. None of these other editors have “edit warred” with you. Rather, many editors have independently tried, once each, to enter the info, only to all be rolled back by you, summarily, because you are so confident that your analysis is correct. It is not. You have failed to conceptually separate the notability and social significance of a current fact (having been cast and now widely discussed as the “new Superman”) from its future implications (future projects). This is your misunderstanding based on ignorance of the cultural significance of the casting itself. You should let people allow this info into the lead on that basis. It is unnecessary for you to keep summarily removing it. Leaving it in does no harm and does not violate the policy about putting future/contingent projects in the lead. Taking it out summarily disrespects all these editors who independently believe it should be in. because, As one of them said in a note, they are mystified by your removal of it. I ask you to find some humility about your cultural understanding in this context, and next time someone tries to include the info, please just leave it alone.
This isn’t an edit war. It’s your misunderstanding of the notability of this casting Charlie939 (talk) 16:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
