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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   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.

[edit] Reception Section?

It'd be nice if we could have one. I, frankly, was turned off right away once I saw the trailer, and I'd like to know a few critics' opinions. Albino Bebop 22:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film poster

Film poster available here. If anyone wants to insert an Infobox Film template in this article and upload the poster as an image to include as part of the template, feel free. --Erik (^talk/_contrib) @ 23:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Added it from impawards.com --Nehrams2020 01:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Good choice! :) --Erik (^talk/_contrib) @ 01:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links removed?

These links were removed:

• Fan site about novel author Annette Curtis Clause at Princess Wolf
• Fictional In-character blog by Vivian

I don't see that these are any lower quality than the kept links, and as far as I can tell the journal is an official one, not a fan-created "game" as was implied in the edit summary. I thought I'd ask about these before just putting them back in. Why were these selected for removal? Do others think they don't belong, or is it just one editor? Anyway, discuss away.

Update: it looks like another user has putFictional In-character blog by Vivian aka Blood and Chocolate official LiveJournal community back in. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 16:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Differences

Are so many differences needed to be listed? it seems a waste of space

[edit] Synopsis Rework

I came to this article through a link, and was curious about the title, so I started reading the synopsis. And I am completely lost. I know absolutely nothing about the movie (or the book), and the plot synopsis seems very "in universe", as it is written as though "loup garou" is known to all. In order for the article to be encyclopedic and accessible to all, I really think it needs to be written from a neutral, out-of-universe point of view. And then I'll be able to understand what's going on! Joliefille 09:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm considering just adding an extra sentence in the first line, something to the effect of "Vivian is a member of a tribe/race/community known as the "loup Garrou" werewolves". That should make the rest of the text somewhat more understadandable, but I'd much prefer if someone who has actually seen it wanted to contribute. 193.11.246.220 (talk) 10:14, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Also synopsis should be changed to "full plot" or something similar and a real synopsis added. I may try to see the movie at some point to be able to contrib more usefully =) 193.11.246.220 (talk) 10:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Say What?

When she changes back into her human self she reveals who she is, he is stricken with guilt and is eager and reluctant to help her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.62.134 (talk) 03:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wording

Alot of the synopsis has grammar and sentance structure errors. In addition, I think it awkwardly includes too many details in some areas, while leaving out explaination in others. Making some of the words blue links would probably help. I would edit this, but I haven't seen the movie myself. cas315 22:13, 14 October 2007
