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] Seven deadly sins

I removed the paragraph about the seven deadly sins because it didn't seem very credible; the seven deadlies are a fairly Catholic notion, and Mattie is about as Protestant as they come.Ilyaunfois 00:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Mattie Ross gives Rooster her father's gun not the horse. He bought the horse from Stonehill after his horse was shot under him by Neds gang. While stating that " this is the first time I;ve had to cuss you" keep up the good work have only just found your site. mattieross—

[edit] Fill Your Hands

24 May 2007 The first time I saw True Grit was around 2005. I gotta tell ya, when Rooster charged those men it brought tears to my eyes. He was old and outnumbered but he didn't hesitate a second. He even gave them fair warning. Fantastic! -Dan

[edit] True Grit split

When folks are looking for information about True Grit, it's most likely they are looking for information about the movie, therefore, I would propose that the film article be retained on this article, and details about the novel be split to True Grit (novel). — WiseKwai 10:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
