| 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.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded. |
|
|
This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading. |

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice. |
[edit] Separate film articles
Okay, I was just BOLD in my editing, and pretty much re-wrote the article using information from IMDb (which I cite as the source). I think this takes care of the copyediting and splitting issues. Archivizt 00:33, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
There's already a disambiguation page on the issue. What this page needs is for all the references to the 1951 film to be deleted, so that it's just about the topic film. Also, it needs some factual editing, since the 1931 film is the first talkie edition, but not the first movie (see 1903 version). I may take care of that myself when I have some time in the near future.Archivizt 16:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
The 1951 (and any other) production should be separated into its own article. Her Pegship 16:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
