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] Objection to Taming of the Shrew portion

Unless a source is provided for the lengthy essay regarding the similarities between The Quiet Man and The Taming of the Shrew, I think it out to be removed as original research. The fact that the section is signed by the editor and lacks citations to prove the research came from another source indicates that it is indeed original research and should thus be removed.

I agree. I thought of removing it myself, then decided to wait a bit to see if anyone else agreed with me. If a citation can be found for it, that would be different. For instance, there are a gazillion citations for saying that "Forbidden Planet" is like "The Tempest". Mebbe so, mebbe not, but at least a lot of sources have *said* it is.

I agree with the removal but I must say that this was really an excellent passage that I enjoyed reading. A really perceptive bit of film analysis. --Mantanmoreland 16:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
