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] Separate pages for each award?

Is this customary? (Goes to check Oscars and Grammy Awards) Hmm, seems to be. Grammy Awards also has pages for awards by year, which seems a more natural listing to me, but I guess both are useful.

Are there any guidelines or 'model pages' when it comes to writing about awards? I am doing some editing on the ARIAs at the moment. pfctdayelise 15:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I created some of those separate pages. I felt that each award deserves an entry, as well as each award ceremony. That way, you can see the AFI Awards by award, or by year. Others may see this as excessive. Cnwb 23:35, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I almost feel as though the pages are all so small they could almost be on one article, but I like the idea of being able to see by year (ceremony) or award. Peter 02:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia deleted - suggestion

Lots of other wikipedia articles include trivia. Maybe these details could be incorporated into the article instead? What do others think? Roaming27 20:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The following was deleted by Cyberjunkie:

AFI Trivia
- * In 2005, it was hosted by Russell Crowe
- * In 2006, it was hosted by Geoffrey Rush, and the ceremony aired on the Nine Network

Yes it is useful information, but could be tabulated similar to other awards articles. Peter 00:21, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:NPOV and controversies

There is a section that rips into the AFI awards harshly and mostly without references. I have tried to tone it down, confine it more to the material where the references are clear. At one point the text made reference to two articles: “Noyce: hands off film industry’ and ‘Cultural exchange, just do it our way’ in The Age. However these need to be properly cited and the exact nature of their claims and evidence spelt out. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 12:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
