Editing Guidelines |
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Separate film articles
Okay, I was just BOLD in my editing, and pretty much re-wrote the article using information from IMDb (which I cite as the source). I think this takes care of the copyediting and splitting issues. Archivizt 00:33, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
There's already a disambiguation page on the issue. What this page needs is for all the references to the 1951 film to be deleted, so that it's just about the topic film. Also, it needs some factual editing, since the 1931 film is the first talkie edition, but not the first movie (see 1903 version). I may take care of that myself when I have some time in the near future.Archivizt 16:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
The 1951 (and any other) production should be separated into its own article. Her Pegship 16:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
