[edit] Cast

I think Donald Sutherland played Nicole Kidman's father. Could someone check that and add him to the cast? Therin83 12:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SFX

Since it was strongly asserted in the edit notes that the specific software used to edit the film is especially interesting, I'd like someone to add something to that paragraph that illuminates the special circumstances. Bevo 20:17, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Novelization

Shouldn't someone make a page about the novel, then keep this one as a disambig page? -Beelzebubs 23:02, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

I agree. First and foremost, Cold Mountain is a novel, and a wonderful, literate one at that. I think this article should focus on the style and sinuous plotlines of Charles Frazier's work, rather than the derivative, simplified screenplay. --TGV 06:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Has this not gone anywhere? We definitely need to keep the movie and novel as separate articles, as the novel stood out by itself, winning numerous awards, and having achieved status as a modern masterpiece. --128.103.29.10 02:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

That disambiguation should also link to the T'ang era poet, Cold Mountain (Han-Shan) -marudubshinki 06:18 PM Friday, 18 February 2005

[edit] I'll do it

Gimme a little while I'll write a stub article for the novel + a disambig page. --Ben Tibbetts 22:26, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Done

Skipped on the disambig and rather just created Cold Mountain (novel) - just a stub, but it's a start! Please edit and add what you can to make the article on the modern classic worthy of its subject. --Ben Tibbetts 01:55, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North Carolina statement

"This caused some controversy in North Carolina, although in fact an estimated 95 percent of feature films and television shows made in the state since the 1980s were set somewhere else."

Can we have a source for this estimate? Seems like it should be the other way around, i.e. 95% of features & TV shows set in the state since the 1980s were made somewhere else. Dforest 23:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legacy?

isnt the movie a little young to have a legacy section?.

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 19:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Retarded"

I removed a reference to Ruby's supposed mental defect from the plot summary. Neither in the book nor the movie is Ruby portrayed as mentally deficient. She is certainly coarse and lacks the refinement of education but she is not in any way handicapped.

PS: If I messed up editing protocol here, I apologize. I'm not a regular wikipedia user.

[edit] Ruby

Thanks for editing-out Ruby's purportedly being mentally retarded. I noticed this error last night, but you fixed it before I had a chance to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.117.144 (talk) 01:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cold mountain imp.jpg

Image:Cold mountain imp.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
