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.

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

To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call:

|B-Class-1=yes/no

|B-Class-2=yes/no

|B-Class-3=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.

Oppose Currently! - There is nothing as yet to split - needs more before this is justified. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Agree - There is no reason to prevent the film from having its own article. Many films based on books are given their own articles. Why can't the same be done here? (IndulgentReader (talk) 00:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC))

Agree – the film is different from the novel and should have its own article. --Law Lord (talk) 09:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree – per IndulgentReader and Law Lord. --Skizzik (talk) 14:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree – I absolutely agree! Is the concern that there is not enough content in the film portion of this article right now? If so, we can flesh it out nce it has its own home. KConWiki (talk) 13:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
