Why was the plot changed into a summary? I put in a bit of time writing that a while back, and there's no need for there not to be an in-detail description. You could've at least put that as a synopsis and then put an in-detail plot section -- there are tons of other articles with in-detail plots written for them. 12.107.247.223 03:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• Per Wikipedia:Notability (fiction): Plot summaries should be kept reasonably short, as the point of Wikipedia is to describe the works, not simply summarize them. A scene-by-scene transcription of the action seemed excessive. Propaniac 13:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Still; changing a good descriptive section into one wall of text seems idiotic. 12.107.246.134 07:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Get rich or die tryin.jpg

Image:Get rich or die tryin.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 this Wikipedia article 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 04:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lloyd Banks as RiRo

In which part of the film did Lloyd Banks starred in it as RiRo, and who was RiRo?- SCB '92 15:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

I've removed the exceedingly long plot summary, most of which was added in one huge lump in April 2006. There's no briefer summary to go back to and the current one is obviously too big to be useful as a basis for trimming. Would somebody who has seen this film like to add a brief synopsis? --Tony Sidaway 17:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It was obviously a bad idea to remove it, seeing how there is currently no plot summary to be found. Wouldn't it be better to leave the other one (however long) on here just until a better one is found, otherwise there's no point in using wikipedia to find information on this film... -_- 81.102.50.125 (talk) 01:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
