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] Organization

This page has lots of info on it but no scheme of organization. If someone just organized it, it would be so much better. -- Supernumerary 01:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

While the site is well written, this is not a review forum. If the review is from someone else then it needs to be cited.Manofthespoon 00:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I've started to clean it up and reorganize but it's going to take a lot of work and sadly there doesn't seem to be too many sources of it on the Internet. Count Ringworm 16:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

Searching for an article on this movie from the main site immediately redirects the user to the article on "News", one cannot find the article on the movie by searching on this wiki.

[edit] Removal of spoiler warnings

There is a ongoing community debate about spoilers and how (and if) they should be used. The wholseale removal of them is pre-empting that result of that debate before a consensus is declared. While the debate is ongoing, the status quo should be maintained, and that means that spoilers should (and shall) stay in place until a consensus is reached. Please do not continue to delete them, and they will just be replaced. If you feel strongly about this, go participate in the debate -- if your point of view prevails, then there's nothing to stop spoilers from being removed. Until then, please cease.

[edit] Rom-com?

Is it really accurate to describe this movie as a "romantic comedy"? It features many strongly dramatic themes, and overall could probably be considered more a drama than a romantic comedy.

[edit] WikiProject class rating

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Broadcast News.jpg

Image:Broadcast News.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
