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!

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.

Should I put up a picture? Also, why is it so short!?--suit-n-tie 02:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Because I just wrote it. Actually, I just rescued it from redirect hell. All the Ghostbuster characters were just redirects to the main Ghostbusters page, so I made individual articles for each (I havent gotten to Winston Zeddemore yet) and added a general description of the character. I started it and hopefully someone can expand it. Wavy G 04:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but what about a picture?--suit-n-tie 03:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

fck it man, just put the pictures up. get a movie version and an original 80s cartoon version up.i dont see why anyone would object to pictures of the character live version or cartoon being added to an article about him, but then again theres always all kinds of aszholes on wikipedia who object to almost everything just because they didnt add the information first. and then theres the smaller group of wikipedia members who are willing to work together and respect other users factual work added to articles.

[edit] Too many quotes

At the moment there are, in my opinion, too many quotations from the two Ghostbusters movies in the "Quotes" section of this article. Admittedly Venkman is one of the most quotable characters in movie history, but I think this section is now too long and unencyclopedic. It is also imbalanced in that there is only one quote from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, even though the 140 episodes of that series represent the vast majority of Venkman's existence as a fictional character.

Following up on my previous comment, I have been bold and deleted some of the quotes from Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, while adding a quote from the Real Ghostbusters episode "Drool, the Dog-Faced Goblin". Gildir 15:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

There shouldn't really be any quotes, should there? Unless they're written as part of the article and given context, I mean. Quotes are what Wikiquote is for, really.--Joseph Q Publique 03:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
