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.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no This article may need an appropriate infobox template.

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.

[edit] Discussion > Article Split suggestion (2006)

How about The End of the Affair, The End of the Affair (1955 film), The End of the Affair (1999 film), and The End of the Affair (opera)? *whew* Her Pegship 03:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

VOTE: FOR - Priscila (on May 19th, 2007)

VOTE: AGAINST - Nice idea however that is not really a split, more a write from scratch, there is vertually nothing here so far.! :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

VOTE: FOR/Caveat additional - The End of the Affair (rock climb) would be nice too :-) http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=1496 MichaelHudson 10:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

VOTE: AGAINST - This ain't my father's wikipedia anymore. It's gotten so structured. If a story presented in multiple media originates in a common story -- I don't see why a single article can't look at the original and adaptations. Especially when a three paragraph entry would split into 4 or 5 2-sentence entries which cross-wiki oneanother. 4.248.56.165 06:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

VOTE: AGAINST - I quite agree. Having just finished the book I looked it up here I was happy to see the information shown on one page.62.56.61.4 21:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

VOTE: AGAINST - There is not enough information in this article, if and when it gets to a certain size, then yes, but not until then. IP4240207xx 01:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

DECISION More than enough time has passed for this discussion. The consensus is OPPOSE and/or NO-Decision. Removed tag from article. IP4240207xx 01:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

PS: The additional caveat of an additional article, The End of the Affair (rock climb), can be handled with a note at the top of the article: "This article is about the story by Graham Greene, blah, blah, blah" IP4240207xx 02:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GrahamGreene TheEndOfTheAffair.jpg

Image:GrahamGreene TheEndOfTheAffair.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 15:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion > Article MERGE suggestion (October 2007)

I propose the merge of:

The End of the Affair (1955 film)

&

The End of the Affair (opera)

Into:

This article.

REASON: Not enough information in the individual articles to sustain them on their own. Propose merge until a point and time when there is enough text to break the articles back out. Also propose merger talk end on November 30th of 2007.

VOTE: FOR - IP4240207xx 01:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Against - I have just added information to both. And that was with hardly looking very far. I should be only simpl matter to add any more that is needed. Add rather than subtract. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

• Against - I also think that Julianne Moore's film should have it's own article. Very much like The Lord of the Rings that has it's own "spin-offs" each with it's own article (The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) , The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings (soundtrack), The Lord of the Rings (symphony) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yamanbaiia (talk • contribs) 17:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Against With the recent additions there would seem to be enough to keep them as seperate articles. MarnetteD | Talk 20:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
• Against - there is enough information out there for each article, they just need developing. Agree that the 1999 film also needs a separate article, have been meaning to write one for months just not got around to it yet. --BelovedFreak 15:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

It seems consensus has been reached so i've removed the merging tag and created The End of the Affair (1999 film). -Yamanbaiia 14:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Against - This is all old but the merge tag remains on the opera article - I will therefore remove it. --Kleinzach (talk) 06:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
