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] This article needs help

This should ideally be two articles; one for the movie, one for the book (the book article being the primary one, since the book was written first). However, before that can happen, this article needs to be fixed. There needs to be a plot summary, and we can point out differences in the book and the movie (there are many), and go from there. I don't know how much I can contribute to this right away, but I will try as best as I can. --CanesOL79 15:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I've added a 'differences' section which deals with the big ones.Burns flipper 11:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Plot Summary

I have not read the book, but in the absence of a book plot summary in the article, I have added a movie plot summary for the time being.John ISEM 16:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

This summary is inaccurate. The match did not take place over 4 days as stated. The first two rounds were played on Saturday, and the final two were played on Sunday. This is specifically stated in the movie.

[edit] Symbolism

The article should probably deal with the symbolism in the story(Its references to the Indian epic The Bhagavad-Gita, which is pretty prevalent in the story line and the characters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheLedBalloon (talk • contribs) 21:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bagger vance moviep.jpg

Image:Bagger vance moviep.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.
