| 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] Remove the Spoiler
I originally wrote the article for "The Unknown" (under my earlier name "Powersman") and I think we're doing readers a disservice with the plot spoiler, which in this case really serves no function that I can see aside from literally spoiling the film for anyone who hasn't seen it. The shock of watching the story unfold on the screen is amazing, and I think it's a mistake to destroy the power of that with the spoiler paragraph here (I know, people don't have to read the spoiler, but we all know that practically everybody does).
[edit] Date of Release
Wanted to know what source the June 4, 1927 release date comes from. From The Films of Lon Chaney (ISBN 1-56833-237-8), it's listed as June 13, 1927. Joe JJC 22:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
