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.

[edit] Vote: Keep Factual Errors?

Delete!

Delete - A great deal of these "errors" are placed automatically with the assumption that the completely fictional "World Wintersport Games" has the exact same rules, scoring system, and technicalities of the Olympics. Urbanski 06:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

keep - How can we not mention somehwhere in the article that people, even pro-figure skaters, cannot fly? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gitsumama (talk • contribs) 04:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

Delete - Its just silly nitpicking, there are other places on the internet for this and wikipedia is not one of them. Wikipedia's policy on Trivia states that we need to cut down on pointless trivia sections, including continuity and factual errors. The article is supposed to describe the film and its place in popular culture, not to tell the world where they went wrong. Paradox CT 04:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete - Not even a question. Exactly what is the point of having a "fact checking" part of an article about a pretty much spoof comedy that was never in a position to being factually accurate with anything to begin with? Hey let's make one for The Naked Gun and Airplane! while we're at it! It comes down to nothing more than the nerd patrol trying to impress everyone with all their pointless facts that have nothing to do with the movie. A movie that pokes fun at the sport people.--Lamrock 05:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep factual errors, delete overly nitpicking thing about flying. 141.151.171.198 06:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete. It really has no purpose here in Wikipedia, especially for this type of movie. Mahanga^Talk 15:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete most of the factual errors; I doubt that most people really thought this movie was supposed to accurately portray the system used by figure skaters to qualify for the Olympics. I would keep the section noting that the "loophole" doesn't really exist, though - that seems like something many people might search wikipedia just to find out.DaveOTN 03:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment I have seen factual errors sections in many other film articles. Wouldn't it be better to propose no-factual-errors as an overarching policy, perhaps through Wikiproject Films, and then apply that decision to this article? (I confess to not looking if it's been discussed before.) Is there precedent here to get rid of factual errors or just opinion? Kolindigo 07:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
