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. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

[edit] Renaming

The current title is not grammatically correct, so I propose we rename it to one of the following:

• 1) "The Koloboks Investigate" - It's concise. Is it a correct translation, though? I think it probably is, but what do other people think?
• 2) "The Investigation is Held by the Koloboks" - closer to the (grammatically-incorrect) translation at animator.ru, "The Investigation is Held by Koloboks" (there's a missing "the"; there is no word like "kolobok" in English, so we have to treat it as if it is their surname). The bad side is that it's not as memorable in English, and a bit too long.
• 3) "Sledstviye vedut kolobki" - when unsure, perhaps it's best to simply transliterate (WP:RUS)

Each option has pros and cons. One thing I know is that if anyone were ever to release this film in English, the title would certainly be translated as "The Koloboks Investigate", because it's catchier and easier to remember. Esn 22:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Whatever you do, keep in mind an article Investigation held by Znatoki, it's the same story with the name. Animator.ru name is OK, though I prefer "Kolobki" (plural) spelling... (or would it be "Znatoks" in the example above). First one is fine, but reversing the russian title - investigation/следствие held by/ведут kolobki. And about the transliteration I can say that we have it - in the leading paragraph, there's no need to duplicate it in the title. --Yuriy Lapitskiy 05:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fish/cod liver oil

Is рыбий жир really cod liver oil, rather than fish oil? Esn 22:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, maybe, you know... That seems indifferent... In the film there's just fish, AFAIK in russian language (especially in USSR) there's no other fish oil then fish oil, even cod liver oil could be called fish oil. Or is cod not a fish? --Yuriy Lapitskiy 05:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
