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] tags

What is the point of moving the tags to the bottom? Seems like they'll do less good there. Can you cite a style guide or something?SIckBoy 20:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

No. See if you can find any rules in WP:STYLE, maybe I missed something. However, I would like to point out that every other stubbed article on Wikipedia has them at the bottom except this one! I therefore cite precedent. Presumably the theory goes that any editor too apathetic or dim to read a short article all the way to the end probably isn't the ideal person to make it longer.

Everyone I've seen has them at the top. Can you at least cite your theory? Or is it your theory? How does it trump my theory?SIckBoy 21:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Didn't notice you're discussing this topic when I made my last edit. The style guide you asked for is Wikipedia:Perfect stub article and more precisely the section about categorizing stubs.--BSI 21:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-neutral and Unencyclopaedic

This article is severely lacking in NPOV, and also includes a number of unclear phrases that make it very unencyclopaedic - what is a 'flub'? What is meant by a 'did-he-really-say-that line'? Needs some clearing up methinks.86.144.56.33 13:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
