November 2007[edit]

The article should include the following information:

List of differences between book and movie.
Does Dennis live or die?
Is the adoption successful?

Is the ending happy, or is everybody in tears?

Please remember to include spoiler warning. Thank you very much.Erudil 16:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Das Baz (talk • contribs) 16:51, 6 November 2007It is not "unsigned." Erudil is also my signature. Erudil 16:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but none of the above should be included in a Wiki film article. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for style guidelines. Spoiler warnings are unnecessary. Wikipedia:Spoiler:'A section header such as "Plot summary," "Detailed summary," or "Synopsis" can be considered a de facto spoiler notice — a synopsis will necessarily describe the entire plot, so there is usually no need to repeat the warning.' See Meta:Ideas on how to write about--and how not to write about--film. The fiction style guideline can also be helpful:see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). For further ideas, please check out the best film articles at Featured film articles and Good Article films. Most important Be Bold and contribute. Don't let this scare you from editing. I'm going to try to add more text myself and bring the article to 'B' class if I can. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 17:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Wassup. Looking forward to reading your synopsis. I will not see the movie before I know how it ends. The Revenge of the Sith almost sent me to the hospital.

It has a happy ending :-) Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 16:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)Thank you. You would not lie to me, would you? Erudil 16:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Martian child post.jpg[edit]

Image:Martian child post.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
