[edit] First Korean monster movie?

I'm removing the claim that Yongary was the first Korean monster movie, since Space Monster, Wangmagwi beat it by two months. The article linked also says, "The first was probably in 1962 when Pulgasari made his appearance." I have never heard of a 1962 Pulgasari, and can find no reference to it other than this article. Anyway, at least one Korean monster movie (Space Monster, Wangmagwi) is known to precede Yongary. Rizzleboffin 23:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Yongary 1967 Poster.jpg

Image:Yongary 1967 Poster.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.

[edit] Separate articles?

The above fair-use dispute appears to be because the film poster is for only one film, while the article covers more than one film. Shouldn't the '67 Yongary and the Shim Hyung-rae film have separate articles anyway? They are totally different films. Unless anyone objects, I'll assume the answer is "Yes," begin separating the articles and reformat the poster fair-use justification later today. Dekkappai (talk) 21:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] linking to the wrong place

there is a link in this page that is supposed to go to a movie called Konga, but it leads to a swiss article instead. can someone fix this? there doesn't seem to be a Konga film article on wikipedia at all, if someone could find this film, or some information about it i'm sure it would be appreciated! thank you!

[edit] External Links?

I'm new to Wikipedia and wish to discuss the proper use of an external link on film sites including this one.

Is it permitted to enclose an external link for a site where the film in question is reviewed and presented? The external link points to a site run by a published film writer, director, actor and television personality in Tokyo, Japan (English language).


I am trying to keep the link to The Cinemated Man alive and well because it is informative, useful and the author is a recognized authority.

But each day the links are removed under the guise of 'personal website'. The Cinemated Man site is published by blogspot and the editors are removing it for that reason or claiming the edit is 'spam'.

First of all, it is clearly not spam.

Secondly, even though is is published by blogspot, it is not a daily blog but rather a film review and presentation site. The site is non profit and contains no ads of any kind - not even ad sense, it is informational and is not a 'social networking' entity such as Myspace or Facebook.

Finally, the inclusion of The Cinemated Man link on Wikipedia is a helpful resource for those interested in the films in question. Keeping the link alive can only add to the wealth of resources at Wikipedia. Deleting it can only narrow Wiki's scope.

Also, the external links to Google Video, which has the film in its entirety are also being removed by the same editors for the same reasons.Humbleradio (talk) 01:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
