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.

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.

I think we need a disambiguation page. This article is about the British thriller The Beast Must Die which was released in 1974. There is also a 1939 novel of the same title by Nicholas Blake (and there was a link within that article for the novel which unfortunately linked to this article -- I've changed the link target to The Beast Must Die (novel)), and the 1969 film Que la bête meure (known in the English speaking world as The Beast Must Die or This Man Must Die) directed by Claude Chabrol which is based on the Blake novel. Neither the Blake novel nor the Chabrol film have anything to do with the 1974 thriller.

Unfortunately, I'm just new enough that I don't understand how to go about this. Help? Can someone take care of this? Canonblack 18:30, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't necessarily need a disambiguation page, especially if the Chabrol film is more likely to appear under the French title, if at all. The novel can just be disambiguated as The Beast Must Die (novel). You could create this page now as a stub with Category:Book stubs, Category:1939 books, Category:British novels, or whatever.

Yes, but the novel came first, so shouldn't it get the unadorned version of the title? I don't know if there's a rule for this, but it seems to me that the first possessor of a title should be assigned that title without parenthetical qualification, and all later possessors of the same title should carry a parenthetical qualification. Ex.: Blake's novel's article would be "The Beast Must Die," the Chabrol film might be "The Beast Must Die (1969 film)" (if only as a redirect to the French title), and the Hammer film might be "The Beast Must Die (1974 film)".

I had just moved the 1974 film to The Beast Must Die (film) when I discovered this discussion. I hope there are no objections to the (rather simple) solution I have suggested. I'll turn The Beast Must Die into a disambiguation page. <K F> 09:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I have just watched this film and have therefore edited this page: the intermission is 30 seconds long, not 1 minute long. [User GerryHillman]

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Untitled0.png

Image:Untitled0.png 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
