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.

[edit] English title

I'm wondering if the article should be moved to its English title "Sophie Scholl - The Final Days". We could then have a redirect for its original title "Sophie Scholl – Die letzten Tage" and an alternative title (rarely used) "Sophie Scholl - The Last Days". --*drew 05:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps, but the english version of the title is just a translation, I've not been able to find anywhere that says that the film has been actually released with that as the title. --Easter Monkey 08:38, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

The English title is yet to be used so far. However, the situation will be different in 2006 when it is screened in U.S. and other English-speaking countries. I have just changed the poster to the U.S. version. Rottentomatoes and Zeitgeist Films, the U.S. distributor, use the English title. Anyway, this is just a suggestion. *drew 23:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

The English title is now in use in USA releases. I agree with drew in that we should have the English title, with a redirect for the German title. NapalmChipmunk 18:32, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

My English is not good, but I think the translation "one of the least known female heros" is wrong. I think this would be "eine der am wenigsten bekannten" in German. But Sophie Scholl is very well known. The german wikipedia says "eine der wenigen bekannten" - one of the few female heors - If I'am right someone should change it. Everybody in Germany knows Sophie Scholl. --frank —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.56.0.49 (talk • contribs)

Ah, yes, so noted. Translating it correctly does make quite a bit of difference. --Easter Monkey 10:51, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Es lebe die Freiheit!"

Another translation error could be in Hans Scholl's final words, "Es lebe die Freiheit!". Would that not be better translated as "Freedom lives!" as opposed to "Long live Freedom!"? My German is a bit rusty, but I think that would be a bit more accurate. Nf utvol
