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) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) 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.

no reason why detail can't appear on two pages -- especially when the the details differ, and actually cover different films. (Ator 2 vs. Cave Dwellers)

not a question of "can" or "can't" but "should" or "shouldn't". Material about Ator as a character should appear on the Ator page. Material about bloopers that happened to happen in the films where he appeared is irrelevant. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Pseudoscholarship is always irrelevant. Congratulations, AF.

If you want to actually help Wikipedia, why not try adding material that Wikipedia doesn't already have, in places where it is appropriate? If you just want to swing your mighty "I can point out errors in a film that Mystery Science Theater 3000 pointed out for me" wang, why not find somewhere other than Wikipedia to do it? -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow. You're very well informed; and very smart, too! Please provide any other free anaylsis. Thanks.

Sure. Try going to List of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes, finding a red link for an episode you know, and starting an article on it. Remember to put [[Category:MST3K movies]] at the end of the article. Also keep in mind as you write that the article is about the movie itself, rather than the episode MST3K built around the movie; while its appearance on MST3K may be all that makes the movie notable, try to keep the comments relevant to the movie itself, not just to MST3K's rendition of it. Good luck! -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

whoops; you went a little bit far with the conjecture -- i haven't seen that episode of mst; my friends and i bought a blademaster vhs tape in the dollar bin one night in 1994. BTW -- i have a large number of scientific journal articles in print; your encouragement to write is cute, but you're too late. don't be so serious, homie.
