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] Plot - book vs. film

I changed the title of that section to "plot of the film", because this is definitely what it describes and there are differences to the plot of the book. Actually (since there is only one Wikipedia entry) I think there should be one section called "plot" referring to that of the book, and another sections containing only what is different in the film, but I don't have the time to do it right now.

[edit] Whataburger ???

Where is this information coming from? The plantation home of her family was filmed at Boone Hall, located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. It's open for tours and the like, but never had a whataburger?

[edit] TRIVIA: A few years????

The film came out in 2004. How could they begin dating a few years after filming stopped??

---

Easy, they didn't start dating when the film came out, they began dating after FILMING. During the movie-making process, they still have to edit the movie in post-production (which can sometime take a long time). I don't know how long it did take, but since it's late 2005, it's plausable that filming ended sometime in 2003. Keep in mind I'm making a boatload of assumptions, but I'm just trying to justify the reasoning.

[edit] Movie misquote?

I just saw the movie on DVD, and I am almost certain the quotation "It's not about keeping your promises, it's about following your heart" is wrong (or are there two places with similar quotations?). The hero is yelling at Allie after she's come back to him and she's said she's made a promise to her fiance (to marry him), but he says it's about being free. I hope some-one who has a dvd system that allows moving through scenes can check this.

You're right. I just watched it. "This is/it's (kind of slurred) not about keeping your promise, and it's not about following your heart. It's about security." I removed the quote. If anyone thinks it's fitting, he/she can put the correct one back up. Bufflo 01:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] book or movie?

is this article about the book or the movie?

If movie (as I assume due to the film infobox, this line in the intro paragraph appears to be incorrect: "is instantly smitten with fifteen-year-old Allie Hamilton,"

Clarificaion before its changed? Stuph 05:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

It's about the movie, no page exists for the novel. Bufflo 11:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I've reformatted and expanded the article so it can stand for both. Misterkillboy 10:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who is...?!

M'kaay, whoever wrote/edited this article put a bunch of random names here, like "Karlie Mitchell" and "Kayleigh Ann" and whatever... If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing in the film credits that mention these people, haha. Just wanted to point that out.

Although he is heard in the movie, I do not think that we would hear his review. His voice is quintessentially unique.

[edit] Actor Names

The actor names should not be used in the narrative, as this was a book first. A brief paragraph indicating who filled each role is more appropriate. It reads like a junior high school girl's book report. Croquen (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. -71.104.94.236 (talk) 07:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Posternotebook.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] In popular culture

Needs an "In popular culture" section; it's been referenced a billion times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.222.131 (talk) 20:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
