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!

[edit] Intention to remove picture

This picture was taken in 1943 by zh:王小亭, as the "Famous picture of the "Chinese Baby" 《中國娃娃》.

• THE FAKE OF NANKING on Youtube

Why do you remove so important a fact?
Tell us your thought.--Hare-Yukai 10:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Read WP:V. The criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia is not fact or truth, but verifiability. Not to mention that it's not even factual, so naturally it can't be verifiable. -- Миборовский 05:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please diccuss here

I have made a Wikipedia:Requests for page protection for this article. Please discuss in this talk page.(not in article page.)Penpen0216 04:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

This picture was taken by a Chinese staff working for Hearst media. It appeared in Oct.4 1937 issue of LIFE and was reprinted in LIFE at War (which I have). Frank Capra has nothing to do with this. And it was not taken as "part of the the Battle of China" in 1943 like Hare-Yukai likes to repeat. He apparently knows nothing about this and continues vandalizing this page with incorrect info and duplications. And no, hare-yukai is not Japanese. He's some confused kid from Taiwan. And he likes to repeatdly post the "Fake of Nanking" fan-made video with absolutely no documentation whatsoever as a legitimate source, which is not allowed on wikipedia either.

Could you believe this article? zh:王小亭,ja:王小亭 It is being written like this there. This picture was taken by 王小亭 in the Shanghai, and it was presented through the Hearst media for the world., 王小亭 was in the zh:申報 (it was being under controlled by the Nationalist community.) ,and he transferred to the Shanghai branch of the Hearst media, and he chased the National army, furthermore, he became to belong the exclusively movie engineer of the National army.--Hare-Yukai 02:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "the Chinese communists are never explicitly mentioned"

Actually, I seem to remember a scene in the film of Mao giving a speech when the narrator talked about "the entire nation rallied to drive off the Japanese" or somesuch. -- Миборовский 03:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

The song at the very beginning of the film (as hosted on the archive.org site, at least) is definitely some sort of rendition of the March of the Volunteers. Should that be mentioned in the article? AustinZ (talk) 18:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
