Sandbox feedback[edit]

Hey Traddalonious, I approve strongly of the first line of your sandbox :-). More seriously: a good start. I'm assuming you're planning on reworking the "Reviews" quotes into a proper reception/criticism section? You might take a look at some existing film articles, particularly those here, and use one as your model in developing the article. I'm a little worried that your "Plot" section is currently a direct copy of your cited source; that's a big no-no, so be sure to either quote it directly and attribute it in-line (ie. "According to..."), or rewrite in your own words. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy Eights[edit]

Hi, thanks for contacting me and sorry it took so long to get back to you.

The best thing I can suggest to you right now is look at other articles for films and see how are they written to use as a template to base yours off of. Just for basic formatting; I.E. linking to other pages, how cast sections are set up, dividing sections, setting up an infobox, etc. That would go a long way to improving the article. Also look at Wikipedia:Tutorial.

For example, look at Oldboy (film) or Let the Right One In (film). Don't worry about making your article as long as these (these articles have had many editors working on them) but see how they are structured. For example, the "reception" sections are written in a prose format, so for your film you would say "Crazy Eights received mixed to negative reviews. Such and such wrote that this and that."

Let me know if you need anything else, I'm more than happy to help.--CyberGhostface (talk) 05:17, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
