An editor has requested that Bruce Wayne (1989 film series character) be moved to Bruce Wayne (1989 film series), which may be of interest to this WikiProject. You are invited to participate in the move discussion.
For film pages, I think it is WP:COAT to create a soundtrack section that includes both information boxes and track listings (just a section of prose that provides an overview and anything of note). I see this similar to why we don't put track listings on musician pages. MOS:FILMMUSIC is a little confusing for me as it says that track listings for prerecorded songs can be made but that film scores cannot. Yes, I understand the difference but still believe track listings and information boxes are COAT as they should be presented in a separate page if they are notable and do not contribute anything of benefit to the film page. I searched and found a few discussions about this but wondering if there is a discussion that found consensus for the "current" MOS or if anyone feels this should be re-visited. No issues either way but would like clarification for future editing. CNMall41 ( talk) 19:47, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello. Back in December 2023, there was a brief discussion on Template talk:Infobox person § Education and alma mater parameters regarding the usage of the alma mater and education parameters in certain film-related articles such as actors, filmmakers and entertainers.
Given that, as well as the fact that we shouldn't use both parameters simultaneously as per Template:Infobox person, I have a general question for the other project members: which parameter(s) should we use for actors/filmmakers, if relevant? Also, should we include all colleges/universities they attended? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 20:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
I stumbled upon this today and had never encountered such a thing before on a director's biography page. The table was added back in 2013. Is this an accepted practice on WP? I've tried to do a bit of research on it and can't find anything definitive, other than WP guidelines that state RT scores can be mentioned in the reception section of a specific film, and that they should be used with caution and explained well in the prose. Thoughts?— The Keymaster ( talk) 02:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Caution should be exercised when using aggregator scores that combine original and later dated reviews", that's just saying that using Rotten Tomatoes to describe the critical consensus of The Thing (1982) may need explanation. Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus in 2024 is not the same reception that the film received on release. But if you just want a quick rating for a film, who really cares? You want to know what the overall reception is right now, not what it was in 1982. But if you don't like it, why not just post to the article's talk page and see what other people think? NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 03:09, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
But if you don't like it, why not just post to the article's talk page and see what other people think?" Because no one ever responds to talk page messages. At least in my experience. In fact I've been specifically told on numerous occasions to take concerns to Wikiproject talk pages instead. Hence my post here. But this doesn't really answer my question. I'm asking if it's customary/acceptable or even preferable to have filmography tables with RT ratings on a director's page, because I had never seen that before today.— The Keymaster ( talk) 05:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
It's beneficial in a film series article when it's supplementary to the prose in a reception section, serving as a quick glance at how reception changed for the series. For an individual's article, I think having a separate table for RT & MC scores is generally unnecessary and redundant. It repeats the filmography (in which a column for RT & MC can be added if that's preferred, or both can be used as references); the reception for each film should already be mentioned in the career section; and the links to someone's filmography on the RT and MC websites can be added to the external links section. The MOS advises against overusing tables when prose would suffice (or, in this case, an external link too). I think, for most cases, there isn't a benefit to including another table of an individual's filmography just to list RT & MC scores. Lapadite ( talk) 08:46, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm the nominator of this candidate, and it could use some attention from editors more familiar with the topic areas of anime and film, at the suggestion of a couple of the reviewers. I have addressed certain concerns about the comprehensiveness of the article (criterion 1b of the FACR), but some doubts remain about whether it covers all aspects of the subject and includes all notable sources. This is also the first Studio Ghibli–related article to be brought to FAC, so I would appreciate any comments you have! For anyone interested in conducting a source review, I have copies of almost all the offline sources and can email them to you on request. Thanks! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 19:18, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
MrWikiDetective ( talk · contribs) is an account that primarily exists to add only reviews from British film critics. I find this to be WP:REFSPAM, as adding reviews should depend on the topic and if it fits the balance of critical reception. It does not appear that they take this into consideration, only inserting reviews as they get published. Mentioning here since I reverted a lot of these additions as not genuine contributions and wanting additional opinions and any feedback about actions to take.

Hi everyone,
Michael Myers (Halloween) is under GA review at the moment. Does anyone have some time to go over to help address some of the issues with the page, as mentioned in the GAR on the talk page? I'm very swamped in real life and don't have the time to spend to go through the page and clean up some of the irrelevance that has crept in, as well as expand on some sections (e.g., reception). So, I'm hoping some film/horror enthusiasts, or just some willing editors with more time, can help out. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 14:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Does anyone have an opinion about the reliability of Mental Floss? I'm looking specifically at this article, which cites research by Michael Heilemann at kitbashed.com. Kitbashed appears to be an armchair research project and Heilemann doesn't appear to have any scholarly credentials, but nevertheless his website is cited by Mental Floss, and his research does look pretty good (and interesting). Wafflewombat ( talk) 09:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
An editor has recently altered the release dates at List of Neon films to represent the awards-qualifying release dates (aka a "qualifying runs"). These are essentially one-week theatrical releases in one of six U.S. cities in the calendar year, which certifies a film eligible for the Academy Awards. The film is then given a limited and/or wider release in the following calendar year. But is an awards-qualifying release date appropriately represented as the "earliest release date" in this article or elsewhere such as film infoboxes? The impression I get from this type of release is similar to what I get with advanced screenings such as sneak previews, which are excepted at WP:FILMRELEASE. Οἶδα ( talk) 20:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Οἶδα ( talk) 03:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Origin had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 6, 2023 [...] It had a one-week qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles on December 8, 2023, officially opened in limited theatrical release on January 19, 2024, expanded to a wider release on January 26, 2024.
Hello everyone, I'd like an opinion from you: Barry Allen (DC Extended Universe), Bruce Wayne (DC Extended Universe), Arthur Curry (DC Extended Universe) and Diana Prince (DC Extended Universe) are all encyclopedic articles? I don't want to nominate these articles for deletion before a discussion, because I'm not sure about the encyclopedicity of these subjects. Redjedi23 ( talk) 14:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC) EDIT: In alternative, could we merge some of these articles to Characters of the DC Extended Universe?
Editors here may be interested in reading WP:OFTHESAMENAME since a lot of films are based on works of the same title or remade from films of the same title. While it's an essay, I think it makes fair points. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 19:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Is it true that "any article on any particular film should point users to other adaptations of a single work"? KyleJoan talk 05:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Apparently, some editors are attempting to shoehorn all four parts of this film into one article, at least until each installment is released. The result is confusion regarding the article's scope, a clumsy infobox, and redundant subheadings. To my knowledge, no film split into multiple parts and/or filmed back-to-back has been covered in a single article. This unconventional approach effectively circumvents WP:NFF and doubles as a film series article. My stance is that if the second, third, or fourth part meets GNG and NFF, they should have separate articles; if they do not, they should be incubated in the draftspace per the standard practice. See the talk page. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 06:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Regarding Dark Castle Entertainment, an editor who works for them has proposed a revision and is using the {{ edit COI}} template. The discussion can be found here: Talk:Dark Castle Entertainment § Proposed updates. Thanks, Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 15:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
I've come across a film that needs some Wikiproject attention. Lovers Lane (1999 film) was originally created at its current title, with all the body content stating that it was a 1999 film — but last fall a user moved the page to Lovers Lane (2000 film), and updated all the body text, on the grounds of a source indicating that it was released in 2000, but then a couple of weeks later they reverted themselves on the grounds that the new source had been inaccurate. But then after that, an anonymous IP went and changed all the text in the article back to 2000 again without moving the page, so that now it has 1999 in the title but 2000 in the infobox and body text and categories (or 2000s, rather than 1990s, where the category is by-decade instead of by-year).
Obviously we need to figure this out one way or the other, but I don't have access to the kind of sources that would solve the question of when an independent American horror film was released, so I wanted to ask if somebody with more expertise in the area could look into it. Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 19:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Nicholas0, see above. Is there any reliable source that indicates a 1999 release? A couple of us have not found anything clear-cut to confirm 1999. It seems like 2000 is most appropriate, especially the "public performance premier" label that Nardog quoted. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 22:35, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm in the process of rewriting List of accolades received by Inception and I've gotten a bit stuck with the sourcing for the Kinema Junpo Awards. I know it came 10th in the Best Foreign Films category and 7th in the Readers' Choice Best Foreign Films.
I've managed to source the Best Foreign Films category with the magazine's official website. The link mentions (in Japanese) that the Reader's Choice award list was listed in the Special Late February issue of Kinema Junpo of 5 February 2011. This is Number 1575; for reference here's a listing with the cover.
I can't find a copy of this anywhere. The only thing I could find that mentioned it beyond the Japanese wikipedia was this blog post, which is not exactly a beacon of reliability. Does anyone have access to or can anyone help me find an online copy I can cite? Thank you. Sgubaldo ( talk) 12:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ross W. Clarkson is a cinematographer, producer, actor, writer and director who has been working nonstop in the movie business for three decades. People underestimate him because he started in Asia and was credited under different names. When I started writing my article on him I didn't get along with the wayback machine and therefore I kept it short and I stuck to information that can be found on IMDb. Subsequently the article was quickly flagged for lacking of references. Little later it was added that Clarkson was perhaps not notable. Meanwhile I have learned to deal with the wayback machine and subsequently I have delivered references. (More is to come.) The quantity of information available about Clarkson indicates plenty of notability. Would somebody please re-evalute the overhauled, extended article?

Does anyone have an opinion about the reliability of Mental Floss? I'm looking specifically at this article, which cites research by Michael Heilemann at kitbashed.com. Kitbashed appears to be an armchair research project and Heilemann doesn't appear to have any scholarly credentials, but nevertheless his website is cited by Mental Floss, and his research does look pretty good (and interesting).

An editor has recently altered the release dates at List of Neon films to represent the awards-qualifying release dates (aka a "qualifying runs"). These are essentially one-week theatrical releases in one of six U.S. cities in the calendar year, which certifies a film eligible for the Academy Awards. The film is then given a limited and/or wider release in the following calendar year. But is an awards-qualifying release date appropriately represented as the "earliest release date" in this article or elsewhere such as film infoboxes? The impression I get from this type of release is similar to what I get with advanced screenings such as sneak previews, which are excepted at WP:FILMRELEASE. Οἶδα ( talk) 20:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Οἶδα ( talk) 03:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Origin had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 6, 2023 [...] It had a one-week qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles on December 8, 2023, officially opened in limited theatrical release on January 19, 2024, expanded to a wider release on January 26, 2024.
Hello everyone, I'd like an opinion from you: Barry Allen (DC Extended Universe), Bruce Wayne (DC Extended Universe), Arthur Curry (DC Extended Universe) and Diana Prince (DC Extended Universe) are all encyclopedic articles? I don't want to nominate these articles for deletion before a discussion, because I'm not sure about the encyclopedicity of these subjects. Redjedi23 ( talk) 14:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC) EDIT: In alternative, could we merge some of these articles to Characters of the DC Extended Universe?
Editors here may be interested in reading WP:OFTHESAMENAME since a lot of films are based on works of the same title or remade from films of the same title. While it's an essay, I think it makes fair points. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 19:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Is it true that "any article on any particular film should point users to other adaptations of a single work"? KyleJoan talk 05:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Apparently, some editors are attempting to shoehorn all four parts of this film into one article, at least until each installment is released. The result is confusion regarding the article's scope, a clumsy infobox, and redundant subheadings. To my knowledge, no film split into multiple parts and/or filmed back-to-back has been covered in a single article. This unconventional approach effectively circumvents WP:NFF and doubles as a film series article. My stance is that if the second, third, or fourth part meets GNG and NFF, they should have separate articles; if they do not, they should be incubated in the draftspace per the standard practice. See the talk page. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 06:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Regarding Dark Castle Entertainment, an editor who works for them has proposed a revision and is using the {{ edit COI}} template. The discussion can be found here: Talk:Dark Castle Entertainment § Proposed updates. Thanks, Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 15:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
I've come across a film that needs some Wikiproject attention. Lovers Lane (1999 film) was originally created at its current title, with all the body content stating that it was a 1999 film — but last fall a user moved the page to Lovers Lane (2000 film), and updated all the body text, on the grounds of a source indicating that it was released in 2000, but then a couple of weeks later they reverted themselves on the grounds that the new source had been inaccurate. But then after that, an anonymous IP went and changed all the text in the article back to 2000 again without moving the page, so that now it has 1999 in the title but 2000 in the infobox and body text and categories (or 2000s, rather than 1990s, where the category is by-decade instead of by-year).
Obviously we need to figure this out one way or the other, but I don't have access to the kind of sources that would solve the question of when an independent American horror film was released, so I wanted to ask if somebody with more expertise in the area could look into it. Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 19:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Nicholas0, see above. Is there any reliable source that indicates a 1999 release? A couple of us have not found anything clear-cut to confirm 1999. It seems like 2000 is most appropriate, especially the "public performance premier" label that Nardog quoted. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 22:35, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Can Someone check this list. A lot of films on this list doesn't look like Superhero films (like Star wars and Indiana Jones films). Sid95Q ( talk) 12:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Bridgit Mendler about including the University of Southern California in the infobox's education parameter. It can be found at Talk:Bridgit Mendler#Education. Input from project members would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 04:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm in the process of rewriting List of accolades received by Inception and I've gotten a bit stuck with the sourcing for the Kinema Junpo Awards. I know it came 10th in the Best Foreign Films category and 7th in the Readers' Choice Best Foreign Films.
I've managed to source the Best Foreign Films category with the magazine's official website. The link mentions (in Japanese) that the Reader's Choice award list was listed in the Special Late February issue of Kinema Junpo of 5 February 2011. This is Number 1575; for reference here's a listing with the cover.
I can't find a copy of this anywhere. The only thing I could find that mentioned it beyond the Japanese wikipedia was this blog post, which is not exactly a beacon of reliability. Does anyone have access to or can anyone help me find an online copy I can cite? Thank you. Sgubaldo ( talk) 12:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ross W. Clarkson is a cinematographer, producer, actor, writer and director who has been working nonstop in the movie business for three decades. People underestimate him because he started in Asia and was credited under different names. When I started writing my article on him I didn't get along with the wayback machine and therefore I kept it short and I stuck to information that can be found on IMDb. Subsequently the article was quickly flagged for lacking of references. Little later it was added that Clarkson was perhaps not notable. Meanwhile I have learned to deal with the wayback machine and subsequently I have delivered references. (More is to come.) The quantity of information available about Clarkson indicates plenty of notability. Would somebody please re-evalute the overhauled, extended article?
