| 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.

"Basil Rathbone, [...] whose last film role was as the voice of Holmes in this film." Given that Rathbone died almost 20 years before this film was made, surely his "performance" was assembled from old audio? If so, it's worth noting the fact, or removing the reference.

- I had wondered about that, but am embarrassed to admit that I never thought of comparing the release date to Rathbone's death date. I may be being unfair, but I automatically suspect that the fault lies with an uncritical reading of IMDb's Basil Rathbone filmography, which lists The Great Mouse Detective as his most recent role without specifying that it was archive material. --Paul A 07:05, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Probably true; I didn't do any fact-checking when I added a reference to the main Sherlock Holmes article. However some searching uncovered this site, a fan page for Rathbone which cites his voice in the film as being sampled from the "record" of The Red-Headed League. We should amend both this and the main Holmes article to note the posthumous nature of his performance and the possible source, with our source cited. -- Guybrush 13:08, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Er...I went and made the edit, but it just occurred to me I probably should have waited for a response here first. Sorry, I haven't been invited to a discussion like this before. Of course, feel free to revise my edit as you see fit. -- Guybrush 13:30, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Not a problem. Be bold in correcting pages! --Paul A 03:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
