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.

What's the problem with this page? User:Kungfuadam has been giving me a hard time about this. This page is neither advertising nor an infringement on copyright. I have received permission from the LA Freewaves director t create this page. Is documenting film festivals and other notable artistic events against wikipedia policy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Freewaves (talk • contribs) .

The following was incorrectly posted on the article. Moved here by Gwernol 21:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Could everyone stop pretending to be licensed encyclopedians and help me out with this page. User:Kungfuadam insists that this is advertisement and copyright infringement, despite the fact that I have explained that the Director of Freewaves asked me to create this page AND I did not know the necessary procedures to inform the wiki admins of this. This is the first page I have created, and did not know any better. Furthermore, to say this page is advertisement is to say that the Sundance Film Festival is advertisement. Or that any artistic event is advertisement. LA Freewaves has been around since 1989 and since then has hosted 9 film festivals, incorporating artists from all over the world. This is fact, not rhetoric. But User:Kungfuadam has nominated this page twice for deletion, the first time it was reverted by User:Bigtop. Can someone help me out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Freewaves (talk • contribs) .

I've just checked a past edit of the page, and yes, it does look like an advertisement, although this is mostly restricted to the first two sections. However, before the article is rewritten (and I'll personally give User:Freewaves a starting point fr it in his talkpage), I suggest we investigate whether it is noteworthy of its own article. --JB Adder | Talk 16:12, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
