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.

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.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

[edit] I removed ISBN

I've not seen any ISBN on any other Wikipedia pages. Why was it here? It could change with new editions, plus people know how to find books, even OOP books; it's not hard. The ISBN is a commercial intrusion into the encyclopedia. Softlavender (talk) 02:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Which otter?

Please see Talk:Gavin Maxwell for discussion on the diffences between film and book. Andy Mabbett 12:07, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eustarine

What does "eustarine" mean? It's not in my Pocket Oxford Dictionary or Wiktionary. Is it just a typo for "estuarine" - i.e., to do with an estuary? That's my guess but I'm not confident enought to correct it. EdDavies 19:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

"Eustarine" seems to be a somewhat prevalent typo -- Google reveals 196 instances, with this present article very near the top. However, "estuarine" has nearly 4,500,000 instances, of which several hundred are associated with "Ring of Bright Water" or "Gavin Maxwell." So I decided to go for it. --JC 64.38.163.34 09:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
