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] Trivia

The trivia section is huge! It needs to be shrunken, some of the information in the article needs to be put in new sections that can be started (such as the budget dropping in Production). But DO NOT JUST REMOVE IT! -- Cbrown1023 19:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I but the Production related information in a new sub-topic, production. But someone should fix the flow of that paragraph and the other Trivia needs to be moved out. -- Cbrown1023 23:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I think I've significantly fixed the trivia section by moving some production notes to the appropriate heading and creating a section titled "Cameos," without deleting any trivia. I've removed the "too much trivia!" banner because I think it's fixed for now. CONSIDERABLE citation is still needed. Hondo11008 02:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non related

I know that wikipedia isnt the place to put this but wtf, I love this movie. This is the first time i watch this movie nd im totally hooked up--[[ometzit<col>]] 04:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal citation?

Under production, it says:

Additionally, the prom in the film takes place in the cafeteria, much in the same way as the director's [citation needed].

Not to toot my own horn, but I went to school with the director (Luke Greenfield) and can verify this - I'm just not sure how, exactly to do it. Anyone got a suggestion?

[edit] "an accurate portrayal" ... ?

From the "Critical Reaction" section: "While the film has been noted as an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life, critics have pointed out the lack of ethnic diversity in the supporting cast." Not only is there no citation, but who in their right mind would call this film "an accurate portrayal of fin-de-siècle high school life?" I was a high school student during the fin-de-siècle and nobody in my school had any experiences even close to what the people in this film have. This is pure fantasy. Unless somebody objects, I will remove this sentence in one week from today.--GHcool 05:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

But you surely would like to have such experiences. :)) I would like, too. - Darwinek 22:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I would also like to have the experiences the high school students have in the Harry Potter series. Does that make it "an accurate portrayal of ... high school life?" --GHcool 21:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure it doesn't :). - Darwinek 15:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed, as it's been eleven days since the first comment, with no sign of a source for either claim in that sentence in sight. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
