| 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)
- 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.

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.

I removed the plot section as it was taken wholesale from the film's web site - this is a clear copyright violation. If the original author checks back, try re-writing from scratch. --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I have permission to use the describtion on the film's website.--Jasonwhite41 (talk) 2:00, 12 January 2008
- Well, it's a little more complicated than that. See WP:COPYVIO for some quick info. But once it's here on Wikipedia, I believe it's considered open to similar rules as public domain. In other words, merely adding it to Wikipedia automatically removes copyright. Therefore, your permission (which, by the way, should be quoted here from the source who has granted permission) should also include the understanding that anyone can now take the no longer copyrighted material from here. Ultimately, you're probably just better off spending the time re-writing it, I'd say. --Midnightdreary (talk) 04:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
