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!

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.

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The article explains that the "Keystone Kops" spelling is unauthentic and that "Keystone Cops" was originally correct.

So why is the name of the article, and references to the films in the article, not changed to "Keystone Cops", if this is correct? The "Keystone Kops" spelling should be mentioned as a common misspelling, but the films should not be otherwise referred to as such. -- 89.212.17.91 01:51, 20 November 2006

I agree with the above post. Why is everything referred to with the K-spelling if this is nominally incorrect? Is the term "Keystone Kops" in a dictionary with the K-spelling or something? I will try to remember to revisit this article in a few weeks and change it if no-one presents any kind of counter-argument. 216.154.4.30 23:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree as well. If there is any objection to a such a move, please explain it; otherwise I will move the page. -- Infrogmation 20:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Keystone Kops to Keystone Cops as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 21:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

And the two anecdotes of people referring to anti-terror policies as "Keystone Cop"-like suggest to me that someone had an ax to grind when including them. I agree that modern citations are useful, but the suspiciousness of these reeks of political agenda. -- 71.115.197.6 12:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keystone Kops

Also otherwise known as a colloquial term for NSW Police Detectives. A term well deserving and exhibited by Kempsey Detectives in a recent highly publicised hearing.

The policemen depicted in Sherlock Hound remind me of Keystone Cops. :) -- Pichote (talk) 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
