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] Please Don't Remove Trivia Section Anymore!

The information about Kevin Smith and his re-write is verified by a link to his website, and there is no reason it should be removed. --CJ 11:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The trivia is non-notable and quotes belong on Wikiquote. I see no reason why we should be giving undue weight to this non-encyclopedic content here. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you kidding? Kevin Smith is one of the most well-known indy directors of our time, and it's very relevant that he wrote a script for a little seen movie featuring Reese Witherspoon (who was subsequently rude about Smith). So unless you're a hardcore Reese Witherspoon fan (or possibly a Kevin Smith fan, miffed at Reese's insult) I see no reason why you would want this removed. And BTW, there is plenty of actual, non-encyclopedic junk on Wiki which deserves far more attention than this.

Thanks. --CJ 11:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No, not kidding, and yes I am aware of who Kevin Smith is.  ;-) Like I said, giving such prominence to this off-hand conversation gives undue weight to what amounts to trivia. Register with Wikiquote and then place a {{wikiquote}} link within the article here. Just my suggestion. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Massive cleanup

I made this update and wanted to explain and centralize all feedback. I cleaned up the summary, looking at the 27 Dresses entry for "romantic comedy film" and Frida for how to handle uncredited writers. Then I added the plot header and changed the voice of the plot description (no more "It's about"). Finally I removed the details of Kevin Smith's grudge against Reese Witherspoon, leaving a mention of it and a link to Smith's detailed account of it. Blakecarlile (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
