Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

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] Cast

Seamon Glass - First Griner Randall Deal - Second Griner

Please, what is a Griner? - Gillean666 19:35, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Griner is the last name of two of the characters in the movie. They are not given first names. Acantha1979 21:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Acantha1979

Thank you.  :) Gillean666 19:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation

Looking for the citation for the "more than 30 people have drowned" in the Chattooga River, and everyone has exactly the same sentence (copying from Wikipedia or Wikipedia copied from them). The closest I can find is here [1] at the IMDb. It cites 31 people died the year after the movie came out. Obviously many more have died since then-- inexperienced paddlers and rafter die regularly. Anyone else have better luck?Gaviidae 14:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

A citation can be found here: http://www.thesylvaherald.com/042204/html/author_to_discuss_chattooga__d.html

There's also a reference here: http://www.chattoogariver.org/index.php?req=chattooga&quart=Sp2004

I've rafted the Chattooga before. It's a fairly technical river at the very end (the Five Fall rapids in particular has some Class V stuff), but all can be surmounted with preparation (whether with a tour group as I was) or if you are an experienced kayaker with good skills (probably best in a group). When I went on the tour, I remember something to the effect that they said that at least some of the deaths could be attributed to people chosing a technical river while being ill-prepared -- even to the point of floating down rapids on mattresses and the like.

[edit] More references in popular culture

I think this list is too big already. Anyway, there are at least three references to Deliverance in the first two seasons of The King Of Queens. If somebody is interested, I'm trying to find the episodes.

• While watching TV, Arthur (Jerry Stiller) remarks: "Ah. Nobody squeals like Ned Beatty". (unknown episode)
• Doug (Kevin James) learns that Arthur may marry his aunt. When he realizes that this would also mean that Arthur becomes his uncle and so on, he says "Oh my god. I hear banjo music.". (unknown episode)
• Arthur and Spence (Patton Oswalt) are going on a vacation with an RV. In the last scene of the episode we see the RV in the wilderness in wide shot. A voice from the off: "Hey, check out that old man and that funny-lookin' boy by the camper. The boy's got an awful pretty mouth.". Banjo music starts. (episode 25: Whine Country).

Please excuse my English. --84.148.161.67 13:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

There is NEVER enough pop culture references to Deliverance! Besides, how do you decide which references stay or go? -Northridge00:27, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

The Mad TV Sketch was actually from a Far Side comic.

I have no way of verifying, but the last Trivia thing about Pres. Carter simply cannot be true.

Wasn't there a SUV commercial with friends camping out at night only to pack up and leave after hearing Dueling Banjos coming from the woods? --Freddie1988 21 January 2007

Yes, there was. It was a Saturn VUE commercial. I was the one who added that trivia to this wiki, but someone removed it. Lost the link. -Northridge06:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bloodhound Gang/C.N.N. reference

To quote:

The Bloodhound Gang song I Hope You Die includes the verse "I hope your cell mate thinks he's God." Nonetheless, C.N.N. refers to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob.” Serving time again for abuse of a corpse, only this time the victim is a Clydesdale horse. He masturbates to photos of livestock. He does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock, eats feces and quotes from Deliverance, and fights with his imaginary playmate Vince.

I can not find any intelligible meaning in this paragraph. Who is "C.N.N.", and what is that piece about masturbating to photos of livstock and such? Is that the verse of the Bloodhoung Gang song? Is anyone here to enlighten me, please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Florian Prischl (talk • contribs) 23:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Seperation of book and movie

Why arent the book and the movie seperated like any other film based on a movie?

[edit] long, non-notable "in popular culture" section

That list is really crufty. I say slash it. Anyone want to argue for its preservation? Dybryd 22:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's been axed at the moment, but I'd say just take the most famous three and say "There are many other references in pop culture" about the rest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.243.210.61 (talk) 23:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

How do we decide the "most famous three" Deliverance references? THough I know a comprehensive list of pop cultur references may be cumbersome...COME ON! This is DELIVERANCE! THe most scary movie known to man! -Northridge09:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I say ditch it or move it to its own page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blue Tie (talk • contribs) 00:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

Amusing... I was just reading this section, tried to correct a quote within, and then noticed that the section had been completely removed! Why not just move it to its own page if it doesn't properly fit as a subsection of the Deliverance page?

I think that is a good idea. Do you know how to do it?--Blue Tie 02:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

For the time being, I think it should just be moved to it's own page. It would make me feel better since I organized the list into categories. :P Eratticus 18:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] moved out of main article into talk page

The following was cut and pasted from the article, whoever added it to the article, this is the place to put such content. Thanks. dr.ef.tymac 16:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
