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.

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] Disambiguation

Uh...do we need a disambig for this? There has been quite a notable song recently in French in favour of opposition against the EU Constitution....seeing how France is about to vote "no", shouldn't it be noted? -- Natalinasmpf 22:53, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello there. As creator of & main contributor to this article, I don't really have a problem with this. Would you be willing to create an article on the song or, if not enough can be said to make a full-fledged article, could you write a substantial sum-up on the disambiguation page? Thanks for your suggestion. --Liberlogos 01:50, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, so is it okay with you if I move this page to Le Mouton noir (documentary)? -- Natalinasmpf 03:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm quite okay with a move. But since there is only one film with that name (that we plan to discuss on Wikipedia, for now), would not the Wikipedia standard be Le Mouton noir (movie)? --Liberlogos 05:59, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, although its in a movie sort of style (from what I see), its trying to bring across a message in a "matter-of-fact" sort of attitude rather than with an artistic message, right? I mean, we might as well categorise it as such if we've thought of it as such anyway? -- Natalinasmpf 22:21, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Use of the Phrase Le Mounton noir

I wondered if the phrase Le Mounton noir had any significance or history outside of the title of this documentary. I've read some francophone commentators writing in English who seem to use it like it might have a certain currency or meaning in Quebec. Any light you might be able to shed on this would give greater context for the article --Simon.Pole 11:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
