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. Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1.

I've revised the page, mostly just the style. The page is still not complete; every Devdas film should be listed. Zora 10:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] (based on the 11th version of the novel)

(based on the 11th version of the novel)

Does that mean that there were published lots of versions of the novel? --Error 22:44, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

So I gather. I got that from another source that seemed authoritative. I don't know much about Bengali literature, and I would defer to anyone who does. Zora 00:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, this page is a disgrace.

[edit] Devdas (2002 film)

I created this page so that it could have a film info box... therefore anything specifically about that film should be linked there and it shouldn't overtake this page. Any generalized reference or reference to older versions should remain here until Devdas (1955 film), etc. is created. gren グレン ^? 07:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dola Re Dola

I eliminated the section about the song "Dola Re Dola". This section really didn't serve a point in this article -- it's about the novella, and not any of the films, plus it sounds incredibly POV to me. If someone wants to talk about the song in the above mentioned article about the 2002 film, that's fine, but it just doesn't belong here. Gujuguy 04:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
