Done - also the archive url remains there in case the link ever becomes unavailable. LM150 18:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
I think there should be some mention (unsure whether it could be worked into an existing section of the article) of the Avatar franchise's controversial reception among Native American tribes (links: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/22/entertainment/avatar-2-way-of-water-indigenous-boycott-cec/index.html, https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/07/why-indigenous-groups-are-boycotting-avatar-the-way-of-water.html) as well as Cameron's 2010 comments about the Lakota Nation (link: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/18/avatar-james-cameron-brazil-dam), as these criticisms have been widespread, well-documented, and Cameron himself has addressed accusations of racism in the franchise (link: https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/james-cameron-addresses-avatar-racism-accusations-477594-20221209). There was also a popular call for a boycott of Avatar: the Way of Water on Twitter (link: https://twitter.com/asdza_tlehonaei/status/1604571538409525249?s=20&t=JQBi9IMCi31FkqnEv7GY4g).

James Cameron has been to the Titanic site 33 times (so they say), apparently with a bicycle. Nowhere is it mentioned how he went although the article on Mir (1&2) indicates it. The Deepsea Challenger has taken a total of 13 dives, although it's not clear how many Cameron experienced. Temblast (talk) 23:52, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
I have noticed several editors add and subsequently remove the identifier of "sea explorer" or similar terms from the lead sentence and occupation field in the infobox. E.g.
I can understand why some may want to add this. He was the first person to dive to Challenger Deep since the Trieste in 1960, which was an incredibly dangerous and notable feat. He also visited the Titanic and Bismarck and pioneered underwater technologies and recording techniques to capture both expeditions in exceptional quality (Ghosts of the Abyss, Expedition: Bismarck). He has also explored marine life (not just shipwrecks) as in Aliens of the Deep. However, all these expeditions involved filmmaking, and the sea exploration part of this article is pretty short compared to all the film content. He just isn't known as a sea explorer by the public eye all that well. I'm personally undecided on adding this but want to hear other opinions. TarkusABtalk/contrib 18:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
