I've done all of the movie pages I've been working on in the same manner. Do you want to go back and change all of them? -- Zoe

Well, I don't know. Probably not, though if they read poorly then yes, I will. Usually publicists and agents are the only people who mention awards before plot. And if you're defensive about your writing, it might be less stressful to write where others can't edit it freely.  :-) Cheers, Koyaanis Qatsi, Tuesday, July 9, 2002

I'm more than happy for people to edit my things when it's important to make things right, but when you're changing things just for the sake of making them fit your idea of what it should look like, then there's no point in my making any contributions, is there? And what makes you the arbiter of what these entries should look like? -- Zoe
Zoe, I don't think that is the point KQ is making. Different people have different ideas on the way articles should look and be arranged. It just so happens, that in wikipedia we tend to define a subject before going into the details. That's why KQ did a little rearranging -- so that the reader can first get an idea on what the movie is about before learning the awards it got. It's a matter of taste, but also a quasi-non-policy convention here. --maveric149, Wednesday, July 10, 2002
