| 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)
- 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] Quit editing the controversy
Watch the video, and know the lyrics to the racist song what made the red men red. Quit doing this to credit because Peter Pan is a classic favorite. The truth must be spoken
- Find Sources. See WP:V, WP:NOR. Verifiability trumps truth around here. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Sources don't need to be online bucko.
- They must be cited though. Also see WP:NPOV. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

- The whole section should be removed, given the lyrics quoted are incorrect. The correct lyrics can be seen here [1] Sasaki 10:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Its not just the song that caused controversy but the entire depiction of the indians, who were portrayed and slouching, half-naked men with cherry-red skin. The stereotypical "how" and "ugg" are just a part of it. 68.44.251.120 18:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Until there is specific evidence that Walt Disney's Peter Pan has caused any actual "controversy", I feel this should be left out of the article. The depiction of Native Americans in the film and the song "What Made the Red Man Red" are arguably offensive, but Wikipedia is neutral and one's personal opinion about such things don't belong. Another Disney film, Song of the South, has never been released on video or DVD in the United States because of the racial controversy it has drawn; Peter Pan, on the other hand, has been released multiple times with no such widespread reaction.
