| 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] ordering
There is no reason to order the films by release date, unless the article includes those dates, which in my opinion are superfluous for the purpose. The idea of the list is to show which films were released in this sound format, with a rough ordering by chronology. Ordering by year with a secondary sort by name is more than enough for the purpose - there is no need to distinguish which was the first or last film of any given year to use the format, as there is no "succession" as such. The lead paragraph already notes the first film to use the format, and that's really the only important fact regarding who came first which year that is generally relevant. Furthermore, the anonymous editor from Florida might find it easier in the long run to create an account, and I highly encourage him/her to do so. Girolamo Savonarola 16:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
