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 List

It seems redundant to have the cast listed three times in the article - at the start, in the infobox, and in the character section. My inclination is to remove it at the start of the article. Your thoughts? Seaphoto 03:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note added under "Trivia"

I just added the notes about the Admiral's ribbons under "trivia." Ribbons you would expect to see on an admiral are not set in stone, so my note on it is sort of hard to reference. I was stationed in DC for a few years and worked around my share of very Big Dogs, but I never, ever saw an admiral or a general without at least a Meritorious Service Medal as a senior decoration. I'm sure that's not an official prerequisite, but an O-6 who didn't get awarded anything above an MSM would be fairly unlikely to make flag rank. This would be like seeing a Captain or a Master Chief with a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal as a senior decoration. I guess it could happen, but not in the real Navy. It's a minor point (hence, "trivia"), but I noticed it right away, and I would bet other Navy/USMC people did too. Any other active duty or vets have any opinion on this?
