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] Vandalism

I think this page was vandalised. RocketMaster 15:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

It was, I corrected it. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

But, why was it vandalised? RocketMaster 05:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Why is any article vandalized? A bored teenager? — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Isn't his name supposed to be Scott Calvin? Da Kenster 04:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that what the article says? — Frecklefoot | Talk 22:36, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary?

I believe this trivia bit is unnecessary...

At the police station Scott claims he, Santa Clause, is known in the Netherlands as Sinterklaas. This is false. The correct translation would be: Kerstman, littarly meaning Christmas man. [Note: Scott never actually says that he's known as this in the Netherlands. In fact, the Netherlands are never mentioned.]

He never actually says he's known as that specifically in the Netherlands, and Sinterklaas is a holiday figure in the Netherlands, much like Santa Claus. Therefore, I don't see why this should be included in the trivia. It actually seems to contradict itself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiFiend90 (talk • contribs).

I agree it should be removedThenext 05:13, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Midnight Men

The plot of the Santa Clause resembles that of the Howard Chaykin series Midnight Men, in a thief accidentally contributes to the death of a masked hero and must take up his mantle.
