| 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)
- 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.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading. |

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded. |
[edit] Title of the fairy tale
Even though the nightingale in the fairy tale is owned by an emperor, the English title is just The Nightingale (a direct translation of the Danish title Nattergalen), not The Emperor's Nightingale, as evidenced by these Google searches:
- +"hans christian andersen" +"the nightingale" - 39,700 hits
- +"hans christian andersen" +"the emperor's nightingale" - 925 hits
Therefore, I moved the content of the page The Emperor's Nightingale to the page The Nightingale, turned the former into a redirect page, changed the links on other pages accordingly and did a similar thing on Wikisource.
IMDb lists a 1949 Czech stop-motion puppet animation of this fairy tale by the title of Cisaruv slavík. The title of the U.S. version, narrated by Boris Karloff, was The Emperor's Nightingale. [1] It is not to be confused with the better-known Andersen tale The Emperor's New Clothes.
