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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JFLlogo.jpg

Image:JFLlogo.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 10:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and as mid importance, as it plays a strong, but not vital, role in Canadian culture. Cheers, CP 20:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name of Comedian?

If anyone could help me with this, I would be so greatful! I was watching Just for Laughs Quebec (not the gags one...the one with actual stand-up comedians) today (Sept. 14, 2007) on CBC at 9:00pm eastern, and there was this young comedian who was playing a guitar. He had brown hair and was wearing a white shirt that said "person" on it, and was the one making jokes about "B batteries" and the "40,000 piece puzzle" that said "go outside" when completed. I didn't quite catch his name, but he was so funny I want to look into him more! If anyone could give me his name, that would be great! Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.18.108 (talk) 03:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden camera show

Isn't there also a Candid Camera-style hidden camera TV show on CBC and ABC called Just for Laughs? Badagnani 06:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
