Start to B-Class upgrading instructions for films

[edit]

To contribute in upgrading this Start-class article, the following requirements must be met:

  • It should already have a developed intro, infobox, image(s), sufficient plot summary, cast and crew section, two other developed sections (production, reception, soundtrack, etc.), and adequate categorization.
  • Statements that may be questioned by a reader over their verifiability must be referenced with an inline citation, preferably using citation templates. Cite any quotes, box office figures, movie reviews, production notes, and any questionable statements.
  • The article should be free of major grammatical errors. Follow the guidelines of the Manual of Style. Consider having the article reviewed by another WP:FILMS member and the League of Copyeditors.
  • The article should be broad in coverage, and should have at least six sections of information (plot, cast, and four others: production, reception, DVD release, soundtrack, differences between TV show/book, sequels, themes, awards/honors, etc.). Remember to cite information within these sections.

 Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF

Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be nominated for reassessment to B-class and it will be updated if it qualifies.

  • It should already meet all of the 5 B-class criteria:
1. Referencing and citation: It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited.
2. Coverage and accuracy: It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies.
3. Structure: It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
4. Grammar: It is free from major grammatical errors.
5. Supporting materials: It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams.
