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.

Contents 1 plot 2 Copyvio 3 What language(s)? 4 Fair use rationale for Image:Cronos (poster).jpg

[edit] plot

Yes, I know the plot summary isn't all that great, but you can't just copy text from imdb. There have been several versions of this page that use reviews from there. Not allowed. -Freekee 05:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed some inaccurate information. Gris never accidentally breaks the statue. A guy sent to find the statue breaks it a little, removing the statue's eye. Gris notices that the statue is hollow because bugs crawl out of the hole where its eye was, which leads him to take the statue from its base. This is when he discovers the device hidden in the base of the statue. Iregretthisname 03:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

The following plot summaries were written by the listed authors, and appear at IMDb. To republish them here is a violation of Wikipedia policy, and is considered a copyright violation. See WP:Copyrights.

(Removed)

If you find this article to be using either of these two summaries, please either revert the article to a version that does not, or (preferably), write your own summary. -Freekee 23:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I've just rewritten the plot. I deliberately did NOT read the summary in question until after I saved it.

Excellent. Thanks! This is a much better summary, and we shouldn't have any more copyvio trouble. -Freekee 21:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I agree with the edits you made.

Gardener of Geda 02:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you think so. I can't write all that well myself, but I always know just how to fix everyone else's stuff. *rolls eyes* I can be pretty annoying. :-) -Freekee 03:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What language(s)?

Does the film really combine Spanish and English with large amounts of each? If the film is actually mostly in one language and just available in the other language due to dubbing, please put the film's original language in the info box instead of the original langauge plus the dubbing language.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cronos (poster).jpg

Image:Cronos (poster).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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
