A user pointed out to me that 2 templates exist, Template:East Asian Cinema and Template:East Asian cinema. The former had only 2 linking articles (under special:whatlinkshere/) and the latter had 12, so I took the easy route and amended the 2, meaning the template with "Cinema" with an uppercase C can now be deleted.
However, I took a look at the other similar templates and they're not standardised:
So are we happy with the format of these templates? Should they be standardised?

On one of the articles I watch another editor added a section claiming that the screenwriter used a sci-fi shortstory written by another author as "source material," citing only the film's IMDb literature page as a reference. Am I correct in doubting this method of research? If I understand IMDb correctly, anyone could have seen the similarities between one of the movie's story elements and the short story's premise and submitted information about it being the "Original Literary Source" without having corroborating evidence such as a statement from the screenwriter that he did indeed draw inspiration from the short story. Is this a valid objection, or am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Roundelais 17:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
With that line of thinking, we might as well say "Listed on Bloody-Disgusting's forum site...." They get faith. They get faith for being able to have accurate cast listings after a film is released. Anything that happens with regard to future films, that's another story. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 18:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Given the above debate, would it be a good idea to convene an open and centralized discussion page for considering the IMDb's status as a reliable source? Girolamo Savonarola 21:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
(struck by Girolamo Savonarola) as per above.
*Oppose - (if this is a discussion for whether IMDb should be considered reliable) Beyond cast lists for films and television shows that have already aired (and are verifiable by watching said programs), IMDb does not cite where they get their information, which can easily come from the same unreliable source that is forbidden to be used on Wikipedia. Since IMDb is not a major news organization, but simply a trivia house, the changing of hands of information does not make it any more reliable to publish on Wikipedia.

Okay, I've created a proposed policy at Wikipedia:Citing IMDb. This is simply a proposal, and as with all proposed policies, is intended to elicit community response on its talk page and be mercilessly re-edited as per compromise and consensus. I'll start placing notifications around as well to kick up some dust and get outside editors in on this. Girolamo Savonarola 01:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I have recently rewrote the entire Jason Voorhees article. It's modeled after Jabba the Hutt, Padme Amidala and Palpatine, the three Star Wars articles that have reached FA status. The article needs a good copyedit. My main problem is that I know the movies and character front and back, and having basically written the entire page, I tend to read it with the understanding already there. Because of that, I kind of miss things that an average reader, with no deep knowledge of the character, might not understand fully. So, besides copyediting, I also need people to present questions in places that may seem unclear for those that don't know the character. All help is much appreciated.

I've been working with Jogers in setting up a semi-automated bot that will keep track of the various IFD's related to the project. As soon as we get a 'track history' to make sure the bugs are out of the system, I'd like to propose adding them to the {{WikiProject Films tasks}} as time-sensitive items.

Either myself or Cbrown1023 deliver the monthly newsletter at the end of the month when it is completed. However, both of us will be away from our computers at the time of the delivery and will be unable to send it out to all subscribing members. I was wondering if there is anyone who is willing to add any last minute information (such as new members and passed FA/GAs) to the newsletter if necessary and to deliver it to our project's members. If you are interested in doing this, let me know here or on my talk page (I need to know by 7/25 before 2:00p.m. West Coast Time) so this month's newsletter can be sent out. I will be able to give you instructions on how to deliver it using AWB or if there are multiple interested members I can divide the subscription list up equally to cut down on the delivery time. If interested, let me know as soon as you can. Thanks! -- Nehrams2020 05:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed a few attempted removals of the IMDb template from External links, citing that it's redundant to the one in the Infobox Film template. Considering that this redundancy is widespread, was there a consensus reached to have them exist in both places? I've only found discussion to include IMDb in the Infobox Film template, but I can't seem to find anything about including both, even though WP:MOSFILMS#External links says to include IMDb. Has there been discussion on this? — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 13:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
At Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (film), there used to be two subsections of the "Cast" section. One was called "Previous roles" and was a list of characters that appear in the source material (i.e. the book), and the actor to play him or her in the most recent film adaptation (as the actors who have played a few characters have changed over the films). Another was "New characters" and was a list of characters who appear in the book and have not appeared in a previous film adaptation. Here is an example of what the articles used to look like. The two sections in both articles have been removed and a discussion whether they belong is taking place here. Your input would be appreciated. -- Fbv 65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 18:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't wanna waste people's time in a category for deletion debate, so I'm asking first. Would it be a good idea to add a category with the name gun films? The category description would be:
"Movies that use guns for at least 50% of the movie."
I mean movies like Bad Boys II, and The Departed. Would it be a good idea?
This is a direct quote from my talk page, as someone suggested to post this here. TheBlazikenMaster 18:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Silliest thing I've heard of on WP in a long time. I would strongly support deletion of the CAT: there's no such genre in authoritative film critique, and the criteria to establish listing is so time-consuming that no one can reasonably expected editors to test them.

According to Richard Roeper on Ebert & Roeper this week, on August 2 their website apparently here will be posting 4,000' past review segments by Ebert and Siskel/Roeper. They didn't say if it is a by subscription or not, but if free, it would be a damn good resource for reception/criticism sections.-- Fuhghettaboutit 23:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I've recently written the above article. I've never written a film article before, and was hoping that those with more experience would be able to check and let me know if I have done things correctly. Particularly putting the right info in the right places in the infobox, the reliability and appropriate nature of some of my sources, and whether I've got my film terms correct. If you could comment on the article talk page that would be brilliant. Thanks!! SGGH speak! 21:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
IS there a guideline to what film articles should include? Like at WP:ALBUM, it tells you what should go in the article and how certain things should be formatted. I basically came here looking for the proper way to list the cast in an article, but can't seem to find the answer. - Joltman 16:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
This morning I notced that the notable roles section has been removed from the activated fields in the infoboxes for actors. Upon going to the template page and finding this discussion [1] I found myself mostly agreeing with the reasons for removing it. The Harry Potter fans have been particularly rabid about making sure every actor from the films has this listed on their page even if the role was a small one. My only question is this. The decision seems to have been made by a somewhat small number of editors (and I know that this goes on all the time) and it seems to contradict discussions higher up the page and in the archives. As I say I am agreeing with their removal but I wanted a wider consensus before this becomes a contentious issue. Now if we could only convince people that the awards section has become more bloated then the notable roles ever was making some infoboxes bigger than the rest of the article. Cheers to all.

Someone appears to have run away with the plot (quite literally) from the article!

Given that there are no shortage of people who've seen this movie, can someone take a look at this?

Project members might be interested in this Deletion Review of an image of Harry Potter, and one of Storm from X-men 3.
The two images were deleted because they "cannot verifiably be traced to a press kit", despite appearing at IMDB (as "On the Set Off the Set Publicity Stills from our Studio Friends"), MovieWeb, and Comics Continuum ("20th Century Fox has provided The Continuum with large versions of the character shots from X3").
I'm not quite sure what would satisfy these people; but IMO they seem to be imposing a test that goes far beyond that actually set out in policy. ( WP:NFCC criterion 2).
My concern is that if these deletions are allowed to stand, the precedent in effect is to make it almost impossible for most users to upload bona-fide publicity shots for articles on particular movie characters. I think that would be a serious loss to Wikipedia, so I hope people will join the discussion exploring the basis for these deletions. Jheald 08:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status.

Hello to the members of the film project. I wanted to let you know that User:Burstmeets used a cut and paste redirect to move the film Paris, je t'aime to Paris, I love you thus losing all of the edit history. There was also no debate on the discussion page about whether this move should have happened at all. I would be inclined to say that it should have stayed with the French title as all the TV and print reviews that I encountered when this film came out used said title, but if the members of the project decide that it should stay with the English title that is okay to. I don't know how to fix things so that the edit history and discussion page is restored to the article so if one of you who does no how to do this would take the time to fix things it will be much appreciated. MarnetteD | Talk 17:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
These categories for country-specific films and country-specific-language films seem really redundant. For example, how many films in Category:Japanese films don't also fall under Category:Japanese-language films or vice versa? Granted, there are a handful that don't go into both categories, but not many. It seems like it would be better to have a category such as Category:Japanese-language films not from Japan and Category:Japanese films not in Japanese-language, with everything else falling into Category:Japanese films. Granted, the wording is a little awkward, but it's better than the repeat categories we have now. -- SeizureDog 18:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Other
Hello fell WikiProject people. I've been working hard on all things Bergman over the last few months. I've added quite a few actors that have appeared in several of his movies. One example being Sven-Eric Gamble. Not long after it's creation a tag was put on it saying it does not cite any references or sources. Fine, I have no problem with that. However, I did link the actor to his IMDB page. Is that enough? I have read about using/not using IMDB as a source on here, but I find it difficult of where to turn to next. Now obviously both here and IMDB rely on users to supply data for articles, but surely it's a good enough source when creating a new article on a film and/or actor? In this person's case, he's on IMDB with some 60+ film credits to his name. What other sources are recommended if IMDB isn't the sole one? Thanks in advance! Lugnuts 20:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here.-- Dark Kubrick 19:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello to the members of the film project. I wanted to let you know that User:Burstmeets used a cut and paste redirect to move the film Paris, je t'aime to Paris, I love you thus losing all of the edit history. There was also no debate on the discussion page about whether this move should have happened at all. I would be inclined to say that it should have stayed with the French title as all the TV and print reviews that I encountered when this film came out used said title, but if the members of the project decide that it should stay with the English title that is okay to. I don't know how to fix things so that the edit history and discussion page is restored to the article so if one of you who does no how to do this would take the time to fix things it will be much appreciated.

These categories for country-specific films and country-specific-language films seem really redundant. For example, how many films in Category:Japanese films don't also fall under Category:Japanese-language films or vice versa? Granted, there are a handful that don't go into both categories, but not many. It seems like it would be better to have a category such as Category:Japanese-language films not from Japan and Category:Japanese films not in Japanese-language, with everything else falling into Category:Japanese films. Granted, the wording is a little awkward, but it's better than the repeat categories we have now. -- SeizureDog 18:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Other
Hello fell WikiProject people. I've been working hard on all things Bergman over the last few months. I've added quite a few actors that have appeared in several of his movies. One example being Sven-Eric Gamble. Not long after it's creation a tag was put on it saying it does not cite any references or sources. Fine, I have no problem with that. However, I did link the actor to his IMDB page. Is that enough? I have read about using/not using IMDB as a source on here, but I find it difficult of where to turn to next. Now obviously both here and IMDB rely on users to supply data for articles, but surely it's a good enough source when creating a new article on a film and/or actor? In this person's case, he's on IMDB with some 60+ film credits to his name. What other sources are recommended if IMDB isn't the sole one? Thanks in advance! Lugnuts 20:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
