[edit] Editing Synopsis

I'm not too familiar with the protocol on film articles; Is it ok to include song placement and such if it's a musical?MarianKroy (talk) 02:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Here is the Film project's style guidelines: Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines. They don't address the question one way or another. I don't see how it can hurt. But bear in mind that the film project likes short synopses. The guidelines say that Plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words and certainly no more than 900, so if putting in the song names would throw you over, then reconsider.

Outstanding: 628 words!  :) The next step for the article is to discuss the critical reception of the film and get rid of some of those "cite needed" tags near the top of the article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
