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] Original post neutrality

The original post was not Neutral. I added additional information to show the other point of view to make it neutral. Now supporters of the WM3 want to change it back to their view only.

[edit] Further neutrality issues

I don't see how this is neutral. Basically it just gives arguments from both sides, but both seem biased. I think the first speaker here has an axe to grind. Anyway, if we are going to discuss neutrality issues, all he material included should pertain directly to the film, not just someone's opinion. "Looking deeper," and all that belongs somewhere else, or in a subsection like "the case." If this is about the film, that's all it should concern itself with. Menkatopia 20:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I took out the paragraph that begins with "A problem with the documentaries, and the case as well, is that a lot of information is clouded by misinformation and lies to make viewers believe that the West Memphis 3 can only be innocent." This is blatantly biased, and meant to persuade the reader rather than inform. In addition, it was ompletely unverifiable. Menkatopia 21:02, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm just wondering if anyone else is even reading this article. Otherwise, the POV doesn't mean that much.It seems like the descriptions of the boys are pretty pointless, too. "the generally taciturn"? Menkatopia 20:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The descriptions are especially pointless and if not overtly POV, are needless negative fluffing of what should be merely the names of the Memphis 3. Ranieldule 20:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, that makes me feel better. Thanks, Menkatopia.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Paradiselost poster.jpg

Image:Paradiselost poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] For Heaven's Sake, What About the Names of the Victims?

Whatever you think about this case, shouldn't any article about the case or the film mention just who was killed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.127.109 (talk) 21:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I see the names in the article on the "West Memphis Three," but you should probably have a link to that article, which gives facts about the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.127.109 (talk) 21:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
