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.

Is it legal to link the movie itself? Is the movie itself freely distributable?

• But is the dvd a liveboot distribution which can play itself? (a recursive dvd!) -- Sy / ^(talk)

No, the author of the film asked not to distribute copies of it. --Anthony Ivanoff 28 June 2005 03:56 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if we have a link to the movie, as long as the movie is not on Wikipedia... if for some reasons there is a copyright infringement on the movie, then it will be taken off that site and nothing will happen to us. Cbrown1023 17:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Copyrights says "However, if you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States".

[edit] a shame

i think it's a shame that a movie about free software is itself copyrighted even after 4 years!!

is the interviews freely avaliable?

Free software is also copyrighted, which is vital to its success. Superm401 - Talk 06:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not open or "Free" content either. Which is rather obviously the original poster's point if you care to be a little less pedantic. —Pengo ^{talk · contribs} 07:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red links

Resolved.

The main red links at this point are links to various film festivals. Many of these festivals are red-linked from elsewhere too (e.g., Film festivals in North and Central America). It seems to mainly represent a lack of coverage on Wikipedia's part of various (smaller) film festivals. I don't think any of these red links need to be removed from this article, and therefore propose removing the "redlinks" tag. --Erik Demaine 20:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

redlinks tag? —Pengo 23:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. done. ❝Sverdrup❞ 11:03, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh. That redlinks tag —Pengo 00:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
