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.

[edit] Article name

Why is this page under Dumb & Dumber when the movie poster has Dumb and Dumber? Pepsidrinka 05:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Both appear to be used in different places. IMDb lists the primary name as Dumb & Dumber [1], which suggests to me it's the more common. But maybe it's not. Sarge Baldy 05:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

The title card in the film itself uses the ampersand version. Radix 05:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popularity

Is it just me, or is that section not only pointless, or devoid ov any information ragarding the popularity of the film?

Thank you, Jim Carrey, for helping make another great movie. --66.218.24.36 05:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

"the film has become what many consider a leading comedy classic of the modern era"

Is there any source for this statement? 70.248.230.121 20:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Does half the article really need to be quotes? 88.110.17.35 09:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

No, and they're gone.--Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 22:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack

anyone know why the song from the beginning of the movie isn't on the soundtrack?? i've been trying to figure out what the song is but i can't find it anywhere. i found some places say it is Boom Shakalaka by Shaggy but i can't find it on a discography anywhere. it seems strange that they wouldn't put the very first song of the movie on the soundtrack. if anyone has info on the song please add it here or the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.155.44.78 (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dumb-poster.jpg

Image:Dumb-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 03:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
