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.

[edit] Scope and sources

Firstly this cannot be a complete list of Italian actors: no such thing is feasible—it would have to include every spear-carrier who trod the boards of the Teatro Olimpico and every forgotten player of the Commedia dell'Arte who appeared at far more rustic venues.

Secondly the description of sources is now thoroughly out of date. No doubt the following statement is true:

The origin of this list is in collation of actor-stubs that contain reference to the actor or actress being an "Italian actor" or other indicative phrase. It also includes all actors in Category:Italian actors.

But the current list is largely of redlinks.

I am therefore going to remove the ‘complete’ and add {{unsourced}}. —Ian Spackman 10:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
