- No problem (there wasn't much to do, anyway :) --Camembert
If we're going to talk about "Thornhill's line" instead of "Grant's line", there should be some mention somewhere of who on earth "Thornhill" is; currently, there is none, so the reader has no idea who Thornhill is. I can't think of a good point to introduce the name, if this is necessary (that's why I originally had "Grant's line") so any ideas of where to introduce it are welcome.

"Summary box"
I think this summary box is terrible and, what is more, in no way necessary. It is also displayed in a weird way as far as the layout of the entry is concerned. Is there any consensus to add such boxes to film articles? <KF> 11:29, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
- fixed, there's a movie standard summary box that wikipedia has.
Compass direction
It would be nice to know exactly how the compass direction mentioned in the title doesn't exist. -- .~.
- According to Boxing the compass it seems the correct wording would be "North-northwest" as it doesn't use "by" like some other directions. But this is more of a wording change, which one would think is up to interpretation, and is in fact goes in a real direction, unlike say "South by Northwest". Maybe the article should simply note in parenthesis: (although the correct direction is designated "North-northwest") (made changes) -- Poorpete 20:00, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
