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))

Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

"The Viking (1928) was the first sound feature film made in colour."

This is a very strong statement to make without providing a reference. If anyone can veryify this, please add a reference. P0per 05:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

See Fred E. Basten, In Glorious Technicolor (Easton Studio Press, 2005), and Richard W. Haines, Technicolor Movies: The History of Dye Transfer Printing (McFarland & Company, 2003). I have removed the claim that The Viking did not do well because it lacked dialogue. Many other features without dialogue did very well at the box office in 1928 and early 1929. — Walloon 00:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
