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] Synopsis

The film's synopsis originally carried a parenthetical note about the difference between Nitti's ulitmate fate and his fate in the movie. I removed it because having that note in alone leaves the impression that the article is saying that rest of the movie is essentially historically accurate, which is far from the truth. Capone, Nitti and Ness were real people, of course, but there is almost nothing depicted in the specific events of the movie that actually happened.

Rather than pick out that one thing to provide a side note about, perhaps a full "reality vs. the movie" section of the article would be in order. Mwelch 22:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Potemkin links

I wasn't sure if this would qualify as a minor edit, so I thought I'd point it out. The links in the Trivia section referring to the film "The Battleship Potemkin" led to the article on the actual battleship. I have changed the links to direct to the film's article, as I assume they were meant to. Rex Dart 00:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
