| 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)
- 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.

[edit] Article Title
I think the article should be moved to The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin, or the original Japanese romaji name. It makes no sense to have an artice that says "The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin (The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin outside the USA)" when the film isnt from the USA, and the Wikipedia isnt only for the USA readers, but all English speaking readers.
[edit] Names and Censorship
The U.S. version of the film changed all the characters' names, most notably Scamper, who is known as Lolo in the UK, and to speakers of other languages.
The U.S. version also featured censorship due to the original film's very violent nature. The film was censored for the sake of the younger audience of the U.S. culture, and to the parents' satisfaction. This should be mentioned along side the written Summary which is based on the U.S. version. Otherwise, the Summary must be written in a way to make it mutual for everyone, and the censors mentioned in another part. Hope(N Forever) 10:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
