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] Cover Image

Seems to me that we have a slight dispute over which of the images to use. I personally prefer the one I uploaded, Killing-Me-Softly-Film.png, but I'm open to persuasion. Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 02:20, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I replaced the existing image with the poster for the unrated version of the film Image:Killing_Me_Softly_Poster.jpg. It has less artifacting than the previous image, and is only slightly bigger in size. --Fizan 11:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Things to Add

• Basic plot needs cleaning up, bits need taking out where non-relevant; keep it a bit generic. Add a spoiler notice.
• More about production, similar films the director has done, etc.
• Categorisation
• Any awards?

[edit] FIX NOW

She spends the remainder of the movie trying to uncover Adam's mysterious past and but resist her sexual attraction towards him.

the and but bit is the part i want fixed

[edit] Pictures

Is it necessary to show pictures from the sex scene? Wikipedia is, after all, an encyclopedia, and the entry for "pornography" usually isn't accompanied with pictures. If there is no logical reason for the pictures to be there, they shouldn't be. They add to the article in no other way than either a.) arousing some high-school kid using a family computer, or b.) unnecessarily showing pure gratuitous nudity to anyone who comes to the article (children can use the internet, too). I'm reworking the article, if you feel that it needs to be changed back, please discuss it on my talk page. Thank you. Zchris87v 09:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the sex scene pictures are a must, as this is no ordinary soft-porn, this is the kind of movie that generations of young men will grow up masturbating to - I know I did. Ms. Graham deserves a Nobel prize. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.241.5.61 (talk) 08:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Killing Me Softly Poster.jpg

Image:Killing Me Softly Poster.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.
