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] Confusion here

There is some confusion here: currently, there are two entries for this film. The first is listed here, obviously. The second is listed under "Night of the Dead." How does one go about removing one of these (or absorbing one into the other)? Perhaps someone who does know this process might want to do so. Personally, I vote for "Night of the Dead" being removed -- after all, the movie isn't called "Night of the Dead." Additionally, this action will require some changes elsewhere; links to the removed entry will have to be changed. --Altermoor 13:05, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why was the Production Information removed? If you have a good reason for it, this is the place to air that. Otherwise, leave it alone. --Altermoor 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Is that the correct image for this film? It looks like a poster for the original, 1960s version to me, but I could easily be wrong. -Elizabennet 23:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reactions

The "Reactions" section seems to lack objectivity, or at least I think so. Has anyone else noticed this? Quimby2999 18:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There are two different films

Night 1968 was the black and white original directed by Romero, Tom Savini directed the color remake version in 1990.

[edit] Plot vs Spoiler

The plot contains unexpected differences between this and the earlier film. Therefore, having a heading named "plot" does not adequately foreshadow the spoilers revealed. This is why the spoiler tags are helpful and needed here. Johntex\^talk 16:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't someone reading the plot section expect to find information about the plot in that section? What else would he expect to find? --Tony Sidaway 17:28, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

The section title is quite clear that the section is about "plot". As someone else once remarked, it would be equally be bad to see "Technical details. Note: technical details follow." There's no need for a spoiler tag here. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NOTLD90.jpg

Image:NOTLD90.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.
