I've added a link to the synopsis for Clueless at moviecheat.com. This is my site, it's pure content; I've checked the rules and it shouldn't be a problem to add this link as long as it's relevant and informative. I think it absolutely is; anyone who wants a another take at this movie will find it interesting. But if anyone truly has a problem, feel free to revert. Rasi2290
"career breaking role by actress Alicia Silverstone" -- "career breaking"?
Beverly Hills Teens was a minor cartoon show from the 80s. It has no connection with Clueless.
Is it possible somebody could add a new section to this page concerning all of the pop culture references in this film? (e.g. Ren and Stimpy, Kato, Radiohead) It would come in handy for HSC students (final year of High School in Australia) like myself who are studying this film in their 'transformations' topic. While many of these references are farmaliar to the Amercian and to a lesser extent Aussie) teens of the 90's, there less farmaliar to our generation. This would really, really come in handy :) - [Karade]
Did someone copy the cast section in this article off a DVD cover? It's very...advertisey.
Also, there are only two characters listed.

There's all kinds of things wrong with this article, I'll see if I can muster up enough initiative to devote some time to cleaning it up. Apparently it's such a "critically-acclaimed" and "highly-regarded" film that it is exempt from the wiki guidelines. :^) Randall00 16:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
The link for actor Justin Walker leads to a character by that name in some other work 216.87.77.66 22:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed the trivia section, since it was too long and full of irrelevant stuff. The following items aren't useless, but are in need of integration into the text, and sourcing:
The rest was too tangential to be useful in the article. Mango juice talk 20:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Since the trivia section is gone, I am hesitant to add a popular culture reference section: the music video for Iggy Azela's " Fancy" is based on (to the point of recreating scenes) of Clueless. Should this be added, and where? FaulkTest ( talk) 19:37, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Ought we to draw out the Emma parallels more clearly? E.g. Cher=Emma; Tai=Harriet Smith; Josh=Knightley; Elton=Elton; Christian=Frank Churchill; homosexuality=secret marriage to Jane Fairfax, etc.? john k ( talk) 06:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

A good list was in there last year, but someone took it out, so I put it back in. Kalimac ( talk) 02:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is sorely lacking in sources. Much is made of its 'breakthrough' status and its effect on youth culture, none of which is sourced and sounds like the opinion of a fan of the movie. Please supply 3rd party sources that detail its influence to avoid having the sections chopped. Ashmoo ( talk) 14:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I have rewritten many of the entries in the List of characters in Clueless page, having previously created this by moving some content across from the Characters section of the film's page (this article). Whilst it has been suggested that the character list page be moved back into this page, I feel I should point out that the list page includes characters and information relevant to both the film and TV show, and is in line with other pages which provide extensive lists of characters from fictional works and universes, including those which have existed in multiple media. Today's rewrite of the character list page provides clearer, more comprehensive information about the characters, in a setting (separate page) which can go into more detail (compared to a small section within a larger page on a broader related topic). I did reduce the size of the character bio's on this article as part of the creation of the list page, and further changes to the bio's on this page may make the list page more relevant, with the main page providing a brief summary ('pen pictures') of the characters and the list page providing more comprehensive information.

The following line about Justin Walker needed a citation: " He is based on the Emma character Frank Churchill (who was not gay, but was secretly engaged to another)". I found a first edition of Austen's "Emma" and the relevant evidence is the following quotation in Volume III, page 195: as Knightley recounted in his conversation with Mr. Weston to Emma, "Oh! he told me all about it; that Jane Fairfax and Mr. Frank Churchill are to be married, and that they have been privately engaged to each other this long while". This statement proves that Frank and Jane were privately engaged through Volumes I and II, and it is only once Frank's aunt dies that he is able to reveal their engagement to his father, Mr. Weston, who tells Knightley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulieD27 ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Howdy! I've been assigned this Wiki page for a course that I am enrolled in. I'm hoping to make this page even better by making the tone more appropriate and professional at the sentence level, specifically in the plot and characters sections. I'm also wanting to simplify the adaptations section and wanting to make the lead section fit the film manual format. Additionally, a table for the soundtrack information may be beneficial. Also, does anyone have any information or sources concerning the remake? I think that there needs to be more content about this. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions. I'm excited to contribute! I will be posting changes on my sandbox first. -- Candles and candy ( talk) 05:07, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

'Faithfulness to the Text' seems like the wrong section heading for what the content is (I will correct the capitalization). This is not a straight adaptation of 'Emma' to start with, so has no need to be faithful to the text. Furthermore, this isn't what the section is about, anyway! I'm also removing the empty header 'Plot Similarities/ Differences'. Any information on this matter should be merged into 'Faithfulness to the text' when someone gets that far.

When I saw the movie on the big screen, I distinctly remember it saying in the credits that it was based on Emma, by Jane Austin. But in the streaming version available on Netflix, it doesn't say that. Is my memory failing me? Does anybody know what happened? I know that movies on DVD are often slightly different from the big-screen versions, but I don't know why. — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 04:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

– The film is undoubtedly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with respect to long-term significance, usage (spawning many of the other topics with the same title), and reader interest. The film has received an average of 119,000 views (!) per month over the last year, whereas the other articles have a comparatively minuscule amount. As page views demonstrate the PRIMARYTOPIC here, a hatnote to the disambiguation page should suffice. -- Wikipedical ( talk) 17:19, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
