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.

This material had been in Anatomy of a Murder. I worked hard on it and think it could be of some use. It was edited out (partially at my suggestion). Nevertheless, it was too good (IMHO) to just leave on the cutting room floor. There is the germ of a good idea, but it will need more work.

I know nothing about starting a new article (this is a first time for me). Feel free to change the title and fix it up.

[edit] Is M (film)

either an Englisn or English language picture. Seems to me NOT. Carptrash (talk) 16:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

That would be a German film, in the appropriate language of course. Are we limited to strictly English Language films here?

[edit] NPOV and it reads "like a review"

I note that we've now gotten a note that says that we have NPOV on the military films. At the top, we were told that the piece "reads like a review." There seems to be some conflicting sentiment here. Either way you've got us at doing something wrong.

One of the real problems with WIKI is exemplified by this basic conflict. You may have a point, but it would seem likely that you don't both have a point.

It a very easy to rip up material and cite "the rules" as though its not YOUR decision.

However, it would be much more helpful if you made a positive contribution to the article, which actually does have some uses and some merit to its observations. It would be better to help us improve the article, rather than to simply excise it or delete it.

It's easy to put out a candle, but much harder to build a fire.

That's my thought for the day. Best regards to you. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 00:13, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Stan

[edit] Paths of Glory

Why is this movie listed twice, the second time in a list of military trial movies that is preceded by an explanation that they may have been omitted from the main list because of their nature? Paths of Glory is indeed on the first list. If it is going to be included twice, it ought to have the military trial movies explanatory paragragh changed so that it does not directly contradict itself. --12.217.237.175 (talk) 20:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
