Wikipedia has an overly broad view of "vandalizing." So I won't touch anything here. However, in the first paragraph, Indian should be capitalized and priest should be in lower case.

Could someone who understands the workings of Infobox_Film better than me sort out the "Awards" sub-section thereof? TIA HAND --Phil | Talk 09:03, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

That sufficient? Cburnett 19:31, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanx, that was a good start...the weekend break allowed me to take another look at it :-) --Phil | Talk 13:56, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

"They founded twenty missions or Reductions and developed a kind of evangelisation that was possibly unique in Christian history."

Ok I kind of take issue with this statement. This was not unusual with Christian history, in fact it is Christian history. The actual work of missionaries is self sacrifice. There is a long history of missionaries helping idengenous tribes. Some well recieved, some not. But his is not unique. Look at the work of Jim Elliot in the film Beyond the Gates of Splendor.

Seems like most of this entry is copied from the entry on Reductions. Most of this background info could be moved to Reductions and replaced with information on the actual movie Davidfraser 10:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I've added a little about the actual plotline. Bronzey 05:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symbolism

Would everybody be okay if a symbolism section was added? This is a movie choking with symbolism, and even the music played plays a major role... Wikiwikiwakoo 21:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

It can only be added if you can provide outside, verifiable sources to back up whatever claims you make about the symbolism. Anything else will be considered WP:OR and/or a WP:POV entry. Blogs or chat rooms are always great for this sort of thing encyclopedias are not. MarnetteD | Talk 01:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The mission.jpg

Image:The mission.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.
