| 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.

[edit] "exclusively or primarily on the Internet"
I am disinclined to remove or edit this without some discussion, but the statement strikes me as faulty so long as people like Cynthia Fuchs and Susan Granger are marquee members of the group. Might a slight hedge be appropriate, "...comprised almost entirely of people who publish their reviews exclusively or primarily on the Internet"? Editor Emeritus 16:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Harvey Karten
It seems odd to have an encyclopedic article on the OFCS without so much as a mention of Harvey Karten. It seems he is no longer a member of the group, but wasn't he one of the founders back in the 1990s? Any insight from current members would be appreciated... Editor Emeritus 16:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sticking with the facts
Some highly subjective and blatantly self-promoting verbiage has been dropped here by a one-time OFCS writer with no present connections to the organization; those contributions were removed. The purpose of this page is not to promote individual writers (especially those with no current connection to the OFCS), but to simply acknowledge the OFCS as the global professional association for Net-based film journalists.
