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.

[edit] Comments

I'd suggest that the introductory paragraph describes film magazines, but not film journals. Typically, the term journal describes a more academic publication than a magazine.

Also, the links need to be standardized so they point either to Wiki pages or external links.

Contrary to the belief of many contributors of wikepedia standardization, uniformity and boredom are no keys to superior quality. If the links would only link to wikepedia articles most of the references would have to be deleted. Conversely if the links would only lead to external sources a hopefully (slowly) evolving knowledge within wikipedia about film journals would have to be excluded. This is yet another example how craving for uniformity leads to absurd consequences. 02/06

So, removing the links got me thinking... maybe we should use a table. Here's a brief example

Title	Country	URL	Comment
Black Camera: A Micro Journal of Black Film Studies		link
Black Film Review
Bright Lights Film Journal	USA	link
Camera Obscura			Feminist film theory, now with Duke University Press, founded in 1976 after a split in Women and Film
chaosmag - Indian Online-film journal		link
CineAction	Canada
Cineaste
Cinema Journal			published by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies

We can change what columns there are... but, do you think a table would be a good idea? gren グレン 11:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
