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.

The definition of "lector" is "1. A person who reads aloud certain of the scriptural passages used in a church service. 2. A public lecturer or reader in certain universities." A rare word, but not one to avoid. I assume (not having read or seen said book or movie) that "lector" was used appropriately, and will reinstate it. Jwrosenzweig 20:04 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I'm currently reading "The Hours". I'm only a little more than half-way through the book, but it's not obvious to me (at least yet) how "lector" is appropriate for this character. Perhaps the movie differs. Perhaps it will become clearer in the second half of the book. Bill 20:25 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

Suspected copyvio from IMDb.

The story of how the novel Mrs. Dalloway affects three generations of women (Virginia Woolf writes the story, Laura Brown reads it, and Clarissa Vaughn lives it), all of whom, in one way or another, have had to deal with suicide in their lives.

Will put up copyvio warning. Thorns Among Our Leaves 03:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I have reverted the article to a pre copyvio state. My appologies as over a years worth of edits have now been lost as a result of a merge of a copyvio article into this one in October of 2004. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 05:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Diminished looks for an Oscar

I removed the Halle Berry reference in this sentence, "Kidman won both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Actress. Kidman's portrayal in the film, in which she wore a prosthetic nose, highlighted the Hollywood rumor that beautiful actresses can only receive the best dramatic roles once they diminish their physical attributes in a role. Other examples are Halle Berry's and Charlize Theron's wins in 2002 and 2004 respectfuly."

Kidman? http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38552000/jpg/_38552173_hours300.jpg Yes.
Charlize? http://cumplicidades.no.sapo.pt/imagens/charlize/monster.jpg No doubt.
Halle? http://images.hollywood.com/images/large/l_1103928.jpg Not even close.

I totally disagree, and I'm reverting the Halle Berry sentence back to the way it was. Halle Berry didn't wear make-up, and while she was quite glamorous on the night of her Oscar win, it was quite evident she wasn't gourgeous in Monster's Ball.--Amynewyork4248 09:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed this section entirely. This is original research irrelevant to the film. The article is about The Hours; neither Ms. Theron and Ms. Berry appeared in the film, so discussion about their makeup is irrelevant. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a gossip page nor a compendium of irrelevant chit-chat.207.69.137.203 06:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
