The simplest test for easter egg links, per WP:EASTEREGG: Also remember there are people who print the articles...In a print version, there is no link to select, and the reference is lost.DonQuixote (talk) 20:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see eastereggs regularly in plot sections, even in good articles, but in this instance I'm blaming Sjones23, who seemingly reverts to this version every few months whether it's warranted or not. I'm certainly guilty of restoring old versions of plots, but actively proofread to include any improvements. As they are a longtime contributor to many quality articles, I suppose it's their way of quick maintenance. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 22:17, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I often remove easter egg links as per WP:EGG and of course, I sometimes restore the plot summaries (including this one) to the ones that are less-than-700 words as per the relevant guidelines at WP:FILMPLOT, which says that summaries are 400 to 700 words only.

I was harsh, clearly you've contributed a lot to this and many articles, it just looked to me like a rote revert, when the summary already met guidelines. Currently everything reads well. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 07:55, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it is Bond, not Wade, who suggests his meeting with Valentin Zukovsky. Even though I just watched the film, would like another editor to verify this and, if correct, make the slight correction. MartinLBuchanan (talk) 19:17, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
