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.

This passage contributed by another editor is not clear and needs re-writing or deletion: I've moved it here so that it can be re-considered and/or worked on to improve it. It is not clear to me what parts of this passage are trying to communicate or how it fit into the section where it was placed (re: what the film does not cover); it also seems not consistent with WP:NPOV:

<< . . . then after almost twice this same record in 12 years with players like Jean Béliveau! From Richard, a lineage has made The Montreal Canadiens a nest for the famous (or infamous for some) "Flying Frenchemen [sic]," terrorizing other teams around the league with their unsurpassed speed, strength and technical abilities in the game, until the team lost its automatic 1st choice for any french quebecer before other teams (after Guy Lafleur). In every city, people crowded the arenas and chanted his name all around the NHL. As some say in USA, Maurice the Rocket Richard would be the Babe Ruth of Hockey. >>

The section "About the Movie" doesn't read as encyclopedic at all - it's too gushing, doesn't cite any sources, and I took out one blatant error in it tonight. Richard didn't break Joe Malone's goal-scoring record a month before D-Day as had been stated - Richard broke the record in 1945, not 1944, and the regular season ended in March. It might be worth tagging the whole section as needing citations.--142.167.141.183 02:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title from the Queen

That fact is doubtful, as since the 1919 Nickle Resolution, Canadians are forbidden from accepting conferred titles. Anchoress 10:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
