Yep, W.H.L., I'm guessing that like me your own settings are for ordering by votes. You need to hit the 'Review Votes' button twice to provide a link that is the same for everyone. |

I get the tribute aspect of the second one, but could you please explain it to me in terms of the film (or this guy - I don't know anything about him)? |

John Diefenbaker was Canadian Prime Minister from 1957-1963. After his party was beaten and the Liberals won back-to-back minority governments, a leadership review was held in Dief's party. He fully expected to win support in the review and was baffled when he got less than 50% support.
Other fixes made. |

Well, I do review lots of films that few others bother to review, and then I always try to put my zero voted reviews up for FYC. I think that helps.

Unless two people have voted on noncentz's very quickly, this one doesn't count.
Oh, I thought you meant that if you had 2 or more of the highest voted reviews before someone else has a review, that counts. So - all your multiples have to be at the top ... is that right?

Yes.
Ah, thanks. In that case [sorry CL], much as I love 'em, I think some of Chokkie's may require attention.

C.L. and B.B., please would you mind deleting your struck-through ones. (My struck-through ones are ones that have lost the relevant status since I posted them.) I'll then delete my consequent posts.
Done!

Apart from The Lion in Winter, I think they were all valid when posted.
Apologies ... must have checked after you/someone voted. Sorry, CL! My bad.
