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.

Even though I am a James Bond fan myself, I, for one, would have loved to see Jinx spun off in her own series of films. Think of it ... a female action hero, and an African-American to boot. As an African-American and a fan of female action heroes of various mediums, Jinx is someone I can appreciate.

There aren't a whole lot of characters with these qualities that I know of, and it's disappointing to think there will be no series of Jinx movies. If someone made such movies, I would pay to see them.

[edit] NPOV

I have marked this article with weasel words and NPOV tags re the comment "Many fans resented the character of Jinx in Die Another Day as a shameless attempt to make a female analog of Bond ... She is the worst Bond girl of all time." Any thoughts on how to reword this?

This image was incorrectly added to another article. Moral for the next editor: don't re-use a fair-use image elsewhere unless 1) it's really needed, and 2) the fair use rationale is modified first. Gimmetrow 03:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
