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 inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofSuperman in film's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthis 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]

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 asfilm versions of the characters. If we are going to edit the photo table I would say it makes complete sense to removeNewton,Christopher,Cain,Welling, andHoechlin. If you want to retain them somewhere, put them inSuperman (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]
