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] killer "whale" link

I am removing the wikilink "whale" from "killer whale" in the lead. According to the page orca page, orcas are not actually whales at all. Thus, "killer whale" should be taken as a single noun here, I think, whereas wikilinking "whale" makes it seem like an orca ia a whale that's a killer.

[edit] pay sites on external resources list

I am removing two links from the external resources list - they are pay sites only. Laurenfrank 02:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference on The Simpsons

someone add it please, there was a pretty long mentioning in one episode where Homer was out on a business trip with co-worker Mindy. Atriarch 22:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commentary

Changed the "Reino Adventuccra" to "Reino Aventura."

Also, I changed all the "Willy" references to "Keiko," seeing that Willy is a fictional character from a film and Keiko is his real life counterpart. Silversnow 15:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free Willy

Free Willy.

[edit] Don't free Willy

Catch Willy and Make Him Do Tricks.

[edit] References to whales

I changed all references to "whales," to "orca" seeing as orca are dolphins, and not whales. Silversnow 13:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You know what's funy?

That after Keiko was freed he died of pneumonia. Kinda makes you want to tell the PETA people that if they weren't all high school dropout celebrities they would understand that, when raised in captivity, orcas need the company of humans. And orcas like the company of humans. So, DON'T FREE WILLY! STOP THAT KID, HE IS GOING TO KILL WILLY! or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.249.194.28 (talk) 14:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC) dsfwwwdfoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
