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.

[edit] Sikes with positive characteristics?

The fact that Sikes took Oliver with him for a while after the robbery is very ambiguous where motive is concerned. It has been interpreted as Sikes not wanting Oliver to survive and tell all about Fagin's operations. I'm not so sure it should be cited so definitely. 71.162.35.113 01:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sikes/Sykes

Would I be right in thinking that the spelling changed from the Original texts somewhere along the line? This article switches back and forth from Sikes to Sykes several times. Perhaps it would be best to change them all to one spelling, and make note of the change.81.144.251.46 15:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure Dickens was confused about the spelling of Sikes's name: It's "Bill Sikes" in the original serial and 1846 editions (all I have at the office). 149.152.23.31 13:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvement needed

It's a sad state of affairs when more line space in an article is given to a totally specious Disney "version" than to the Dickens' original, and when the name, clearly written in edition after edition, is "Sikes". (If there was alternate spelling in the newspaper serials, then authenticate it). --Buckboard 18:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
