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.

[edit] New boxes

I have created simple boxes for Alfred Hitchcock and Buster Keaton; they are on the new boxes page as well as my own page. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 17:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Man-eating talking plant template

The {{user LSOH}} template was not created in reference to the musical. If you want to create something specific to the 1986 musical, do so. But do not categorize my template as a reference to the musical, which it is not. Just look at the image in the template -- it's from the 1960 original, not the 1986 musical.

[edit] Repo Man/Harry Dean Stanton

thought this would be funny, didn't see one involving repo man, so i'll put it on. Anyone have a problem, just remove it.

[edit] Question involving image

I have a design for a box concerning the film Titanic, however, I have not been able to find a suitable image. I have created one from a screenshot of the film, however, I was wondering whether or not it would conflict with Wikipedia's Free-Use policy if I uploaded it. The resolution is 64x64 pixels.

Never mind. Did some research, found a better non-rule-violating way. Sorry for the distraction. The Good Ol' Country Doctor 20:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Organisation

I've done a fair bit of work improving the organisation of the list of specific films, as it was a bit of a mess with most of the films in a big long list while the Sci Fi section had more detail and a couple of individual films had sub-sections to themselves.

I've moved boxes to the correct genre heading, then created a few new genre headings. I named the original list 'general' so it would indent in line with the other categories. I then added sub-headings to each genre for any film with 3 or more boxes on the page (regardless of the 'notabillity' of the film). this seemed the most sensible criteria. However, I didn't go back and remove headings from existing films with less than three boxes.

With regards how I categorised films by genre, I just checked the linked wiki page for each and read what it said. If you disagree, please feel free to re-categorise as you see fit. Some are hard to pin down, e.g. should Jaws be in horror?

I've tried to put things in alphabetical order where I can, but haven't done all the sections. When I have some time I'll try and come back to that.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
