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.

1 Definition?
2 Blaxploitation?
3 "PC backlash"??
4 analysis section outdated?
5 Synopsis reworded, corrected

[edit] Definition?

Why does the title need to be defined in the first paragraph? It's a standard English word.

The word is in limited usage and much of that usage (from my observation) is improper.TimB 04:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blaxploitation?

Can someone justify to me why this page is in the Blaxploitation films category? I don't want to delete it before asking, but it doesn't seem to fit a number of blaxploitation characteristics. --Rocketgoat 18:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "PC backlash"??

Such a cliche, "PC backlash". We think we know what it means, but dear author, can you please explain what it means, especially in the context of Bamboozled?

[edit] analysis section outdated?

Is the analysis section supposed to be kept current? Because it refers to the UPN network in the present tense and it no longer exists.Bobbyi 15:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I would consider removing it entirely, as it seems to be WP:NOR.TimB 04:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis reworded, corrected

Corrected some false plot points, reworded some awkward construction, removed some of the wiki references. Isn't the first mention of a character or actor the only time they should be linked to their wiki page? "Julius" (Mos Def) was linked 4 times throughout the page. I also think its unnecessary to put the actor portraying the character after every single mention of the character's name. There were 4 "Julius (Mos Def)" constructions as well.

Also rewrote some cliche-ridden and poorly written sections ("only to have" replaced with "but" in 3 places, etc.) Raphaelaarchon 07:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
