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.

The poster image I supplied from impawards.com is not of the best quality. Could someone find a better image of this? Thanks. Reimelt 17:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

The plot summary is for the book with a brief description of the movie afterward, but a photograph of the recent DVD is included at the top. The picture should be moved down or separate sections should be made so the reader doesn't assume the plot is that of the movie.

[edit] National Society of Fans of Witch Mountain

I have removed the section about this "fan community" and the link in the references. There is a link to this on one of the other reference pages. This "fan community" seems to consist of people asking other people to pay $2 for a sheet of paper with their name on it and $10 to have their name listed in yellow on a list of members. Including it here seems like advertising.

To the above poster: Please sign your posts. You are highly incorrect in your evaluation of the pricing of joining the fan community. The $2.00 fee covers a certificate of membership and submittal into an online database. Considering that $0.41 of that $2.00 fee goes just to postage alone, it's a pretty good deal. The $10.00 donation is just that - a donation - and it is not required for membership. I suggest that in the future you research a topic in full before making a quick judgment. 71.100.17.36 00:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
