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] Length of discussion on 'Director's Cut'

I'm fine with the length - its an article on the movie, and I believe many reading will be interested in the newer DVD release and the differences from the original release. Mdboxberger (talk) 03:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Character's Name

This refers to him as "Hawkeye" throughout the entire synopsis. I'm not sure they ever call him that in the movie. They certainly refer to him primarily as "Nathaniel." In the book it's usually "Hawkeye" or "Nattibumppo" but since this is the page for the movie, someone should change it to "Nathaniel." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.146.85.116 (talk) 16:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• He calls himself Hawkeye toward the end of the movie when he is talking to the Huron chief. I think he's referred to as Nathaniel only once or twice in the movie. On a side note, I think Uncas' name is only said at the very end.

[edit] Spoiler thingy

Pretty sure it's in the wrong spot —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.245.134.65 (talk) 08:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Good catch. I've moved it up a bit. --Mad Max 21:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why was Japan mentioned?

It's been awhile since I read the book, but I was surprised by this:

1. Magua tells Cora of his anger over being told that Japan does not exist.

2. The film version regains parallel with the nonexistent Japan here.

I just don't see how Japan got into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.216.131 (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Mohicansposter.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
