{{Talk:Harmy's Despecialized Edition/GA1}}
== GOUT ==
Sorry for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harmy%27s_Despecialized_Edition&diff=753314071&oldid=753297250 this revert], but I think the best solution to my original edit was not to restore the content, but rather to reword it or add it back in a way that did not mislead the reader. If GOUT really needs to be mentioned here (I don't think it really adds anything, but whatever), as it's not an official term, it should read something more like 'released as the "original theatrical version", also known as "George's Original Unaltered Trilogy"'. The former is the terminology on the packaging. Otherwise, it's pretty misleading. --[[User:Fru1tbat|Fru1tbat]] ([[User talk:Fru1tbat|talk]]) 12:43, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

== Team Negative 1, Project 4K77 and other projects referenced here. ==
These projects similarly deserve independent articles covering their impact on the online Star Wars community. These other projects have received similar news coverage. Any objections over separate (complimentary) articles for these projects? [[User:Internet Informant|Internet Informant]] ([[User talk:Internet Informant|talk]]) 13:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
:Although I'd support this measure, part of the issue is that the forum website for the TN1/4KXX restorations have a private invite code to join, in order to protect access to the projects behind enough of a wall to prevent piracy or copyright infringement. Since most of the information about these projects is also located on this site (again, not public/couldn't easily be linked) it'd make it very hard to source information in that article. [[User:MrDrFactChecker|MrDrFactChecker]] ([[User talk:MrDrFactChecker|talk]]) 03:01, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
:I would suggest this article be renamed to something like [[Star Wars film preservation efforts]], with articles like [[Harmy's Despecialized Edition]] and [[4K77]] redirecting there. IMO most of current the Background, Legality, Reception, etc. sections will apply equally to ''Harmy's'' as to the other restorations such as Project 4k, [https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/arts/star-wars-films-george-lucas.html which were today written up in the New York Times]. Give a section within the article to each of the individual efforts. [[User:PK-WIKI|PK-WIKI]] ([[User talk:PK-WIKI|talk]]) 04:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
::Although I'd support that, and think it could be a good idea, there are MANY other restorations that aren't as well known as Team Negative 1's 4K77/80/83 Projects and Despecialized.
::The Skywalker Edition, the Silver Screen Edition, D+77/80/83, 4K97, D+97, the '97-77/80/83 Theatrical Hybrids, DreGraded, the ANH/ESB/ROTJ Technicolor/LaserDisc reconstructions, the 4K77/80/83 AI-Upscale projects, the 4K77/80/83 4K UHD 2160p BD-50 ISO projects, and many many many more projects and preservations exist (not to mention audio preservations, which could fill up a whole article by itself). None of these have any linkable public articles on them, with the only information available being on thestarwarstrilogy.com forums (again, hidden behind an invite code and can't be linked elsewhere) [[User:MrDrFactChecker|MrDrFactChecker]] ([[User talk:MrDrFactChecker|talk]]) 01:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Well, projects that haven't been covered by [[WP:RELIABLE]] third-party sources have no place on Wikipedia. So that shouldn't be a problem. [[User:PK-WIKI|PK-WIKI]] ([[User talk:PK-WIKI|talk]]) 09:02, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
::::Totally respect that policy, just many of them are pretty adjacent to the other two; specifically in that either the people behind the 4KXX restorations/Despecialized Editions have worked on them, or vice versa the people who worked on them went on to work on the 4KXX restorations (or have their projects, like audio restorations or fan translated subtitles, included as part of the 4KXX restorations).
::::There's probably a lot in the way of third-party VIDEO sources, but not articles. Not sure the former is generally considered as reliable to link here. [[User:MrDrFactChecker|MrDrFactChecker]] ([[User talk:MrDrFactChecker|talk]]) 21:02, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
