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] Restored a removed item

66.188.87.251 has removed the following content: [1]

Relatively obvious Christian myths are present in the impregnation of Mother Earth by God, akin to the Immaculate Conception and the virgin birth of Jesus. The same myth is partly present in ancient Egyptian mythology, where Isis impregnates herself with the penis of the killed god Osiris and gives birth to Horus.

This is replaced in the edit by:

, such as the ancient Egyptian myth, in which Isis impregnates herself with the penis of the killed god Osiris and gives birth to Horus.

The edit summary was "Impregnating mother earth isn't even close to a christian belief, and calling christianity a myth is an obvious attack".

I've reverted this removal because I believe both grounds cited are inadequate.

The term "immaculate conception", however, is incorrect here. The doctrine of the immaculate conception relates to the Virgin Mary being conceived without original sin, but the name is often conflated (as here) with the doctrine of the Virgin Birth. --Tony Sidaway 12:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
