I tried to add Superman and the Mole Men as the first item in the Theatrical Features section but got an error "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive"

The entry was similar to other entries. I copy / pasted another entry and modified the details

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Superman in film's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has requested that Superman (1978 film) be moved to another page, which may be of interest to this WikiProject. You are invited to participate in the move discussion. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to make some changes to the infobox thumbnail photos.

Most generally: Standardize the type of shots used... Kirk Alyn and David Corenswet are unrecognizable. Head-and-chest portraits – like those of Christopher Reeve and the Superboys – would be better.

More specifically: Leave out Nic Cage. It was an easter egg. It would make more sense to include Jeff East and Dylan Sprayberry, who had multiple scenes portraying the character, in his teens. Jason A. Quest (talk) 02:41, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I don't really understand is why TV-only actors are included at all given this article's scope as film versions of the characters. If we are going to edit the photo table I would say it makes complete sense to remove Newton, Christopher, Cain, Welling, and Hoechlin. If you want to retain them somewhere, put them in Superman (franchise)#Television as the only place that really makes sense. Otherwise, I agree better photos could be found for some of the actors and I have really no preference for or against Cage's inclusion. Yeoutie (talk) 18:22, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
