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.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no This article may need an appropriate infobox template.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

Then why isn't this under Jackboot Mutiny if that's the titl;e it's known by? Wetman 00:15, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I don't know the particulars of the film, but it could be that it is actually more widely known under the German title. Hmm. --snoyes 00:18, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Well, it's under Jackboot Mutiny too now.... Wetman 00:19, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I wrote the article under the German title as that's how it was listed in the G.W. Pabst filmography.

It would appear that the convention in the English version of Wikipedia is to list artistic works (films in particular) under the English-language title, rather than under the title under which the film was produced, as is done on IMDB. Is that correct? 209.149.235.241 01:36, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Not necessarily. It depends on how well it's known. I know we have an article at Life is Beautiful because that's how it's known to English speakers, but we also have Les Misérables. It depends on how it's known. RickK 01:46, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Known where? The US, English-speaking countries, worldwide, or some other criterion? 209.149.235.241 01:56, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

This is the English language Wikipedia. You do the math. RickK 16:38, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers. It is indeed rather difficult to set forth a standard test to measure which usage is more common. --snoyes 16:44, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, I needed that.

I checked Wikipedia:Naming conventions (movies) (movies) and this is not addressed there. Maybe this discussion should be moved to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (movies) so that this can be added to the style manual. 209.149.235.241 22:13, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Since no one stepped forward to debate it I made the German title page into a redirect and moved its talk page here.
