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.

When in MK Deception is Shao Kahn portrayed as 6' 8"? Did they say that in Konquest?

• I don't believe his height is ever mentioned, this scale is simply assumed. Remember to include your username with four tildes (~) in the future. Goroliath

[edit] Trivia

"If time expired with a round ending in an even draw (both players sustaining no damage) in MKII, a disgusted Kahn shouted an expletive."

Can anyone confirm this statement (or possibly clarify it a bit). I just got through playing MK2 and nothing happens when you neither opponent takes a hit and time runs out. It just goes to Game Over screen. Is this for a certain gaming system or just the arcade version? I was playing the SNES MKII. HumanZoom 09:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I've tested this bit of trivia out with a copy of MK2 as well and Khan doesn't say an expletive. In fact... He doesn't say a thing. I'm nuking the statement until it's proven otherwise. VoLiTioN 03:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colon/semicolon

--You people seriously need to take an english class. That's not how you use a colon. Use a semi-colon.

And only ONE space is need/expected between a period and the next sentence. This is a mess.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.182.109.42 (talk • contribs).

Feel free to explain exactly why a semicolon is better: Semicolon and Colon

As for the spaces between periods and sentences, I agree, but it doesn't matter; double spaces in the edit box render as single spaces in the article, so it doesn't matter. EVula 14:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The second instance could use a semicolon, though a colon is also acceptable in that instance (and makes more sense, as the first part seems like a fragment), depending on how the sentence structure is interpreted. The first one is definitely a colon. Virogtheconq 17:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
