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] Release Date conventions

Dates should be written in full, e.g. December 3 rather than 12/03, which is ambiguous, because this is probably interpreted as 12 March in many places outside the US. Lexor 05:30 May 14, 2003 (UTC)

Not just that. Who cares on what date About a Boy was released in the United States? This film was released in England on April 26, 2002. This is a nuisance. --KF 09:55 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Agree, that removes any confusion. RoyBatty42 19:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Since I don't get any replies from members or users who have done tables in the latest years, I post here this. "Films released in 2002" contains all films found in "Years in film" that were released in 2002 in their place of origin. This is how other lists enter dates and it is very confusing to search each entry for actual year of release. So I have done this work to facilitate either users adding films (you may have seen that often there are broken cells in tables, due to later additions), or members trying to cross lists' entries, so that sometime, we may end up having comprehensive information on existing or non-existing articles and make our lists sub-projects worth the effort. I do not remove any repeated entries on other tables, but the headers should indicate the specific nature of the list. English talking people do not live in North America only.

[edit] Events removed

Removed this:

• December - Star Trek: Nemesis, the tenth film in the successful film franchise, opens to poor box office and lukewarm reviews. It is later announced that this film is expected to be the final Star Trek film for the foreseeable future.

I debate that this rises to the level of a notable event for the year outside of Trekker circles, not to mention it is now false as Paramount is doing a new Trek film with JJ Abrams writing and possibly directing. RoyBatty42 19:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Excess info

The films should be the only thing listed with only a few notations for MAJOR awards or critical information (like noteworthy reissues). RoyBatty42 19:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing info?

Um, what happened to October-December? 192.234.13.40 13:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
