==Question about Symphonie Fantastique==

From looking at your contribution, I believe it could be fixed by doing a few things. One, it seems quite similar to other items in the trivia section, so it seems kind of odd for it to be in it's own section. Two, it does seem kind of long, especially given that extremely important films are only given a brief mention. This makes your contribution stick out, seeming spammy or overly wordy. Three, even though you mention a number of awards, none of these are cited. If you added citations it couldn't hurt your case, and would only improve it.

[edit] Additional question

It looks pretty good to me. If you want to make it even nicer, you could look at Wikipedia:Template_messages/Sources_of_articles#Citations_of_generic_sources. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 20:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
