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] Additions being removed?

Is there any reason why the user Netscott is constantly reverting changes made to this particular page that are actually improving the article? Jet082 22:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I posted a response at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:EVula#Note about this particular article and the constant reverts that are occuring here. Honestly, if an edit improves wikipedia, it should remain. Besides, how do you even know that those users are all the same person? I seriously considering reverting to the more lengthy and useful article until I noted that I might possibly be banned for trying to improve this page. Jet082 22:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

The user Mactabbed (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) aka user Maior (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) has been banned from editing Wikipedia. This user has been defiantly evading his ban through the use of IP addresses and sockpuppets. I have taken a proactive stance to ensuring that this user remains effectively banned from the project by reverting all of his edits (which is what Wikipedia policy calls for). The reason for this is that while this user's latest contributions appear positive he is effectively setting up a sleeper account for later abuse/disruption.

So basically, the addition of important information is taking a backseat because someone might vandalize things in the future? Among other things, isn't that counterproductive? Other users seem to think the information is valid, therefore it seems ridiculous to continuously remove it simply because the original poster was banned. --Yayza 04:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

When a person is banned they are to stop editing. When that person habitually does not abide by the wishes of the community then it is normal for additional steps to be taken to encourage the banned editor's disengagement from the project. The editor in question is aware of the steps he needs to take in order to have his ban rescinded... rather than take those steps he continues to evade his ban with sockpuppets and IPs. (→Netscott) 05:56, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

So why not revert his edit and add in the additional information yourself? At least then the article will be improved... Jet082 17:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Beguiled43.jpg

Image:Beguiled43.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 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.
