Welcome

Hi - welcome to Wikipedia. Sorry you are feeling a little frustrated - that's normal for a new editor and has likely happened to the majority of us in the beginning. You're in good company! As far as how Wikipedia articles are to be written, it's really a better idea to look at the Manual of Style before editing/writing an article. Articles already existing may not be correctly written. So...it's really a better idea to go with the manual of style. Everything you need to know as a newbie at Wikipedia is listed above. Look it over, take some time to become familiarized, and remember: anything you do wrong can be fixed and there is no deadline in Wikipedia. :-) Lhb1239 (talk) 05:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Boundaries

Please note that under our WP:COPYVIO rules, you cannot simply copy and paste a film's preexisting plot summary directly from Telefilm Canada or the film's own press kit. An expanded plot summary is encouraged and welcome — but it must be original content, written in your own new words and not copied or pasted from anywhere else. Thanks.
