Spoilers
We don't use spoiler warnings here on Wikipedia. See WP:SPOILER. Nor do we remove big chunks of the plot. Regardless of whether the writer, director, producer, distributor etc does not like the full plot appearing on here, this is an encyclopaedia, and we will have the full plot on here. The more you try to remove it, the more it will be replaced, and the more protected the page will become until you can't edit it at all. Geoff B (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok, understood, but you've also removed my edit on the Film Festival Exhibition section which has stated Clarification required. I will edit this again as it is incorrect in the fact the "Revolver Initially agreed". Rawshark72 (talk) 14:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Rawshark72

Also, I do understand the rationale behind outlining the plot synopsis, as I have seen this is the case for most films listed on Wikipedia. However, the issue with A Serbian Film is that it hasn't received a general release yet, so I'm wondering how the full details can be known, unless it has come from someone who has seen the film at it's very limited festival screenings, or from someone who has seen the film illegally through a pirate copy or bit torrent download.

Other upcoming films (Such as The Town or Devil) do not have full plot synopses, so it does make it strange how the full synopsis came about to be published on Wikipedia, unless it was through illegal means (which, obviously as film distributors, we can't condone). In this case, the full film details are available 'before' the film has been released.. Rawshark72 (talk) 14:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Rawshark72
 * We've got no way of knowing where the plot contributor(s) saw the film, unfortunately. As Wikipedia relies on user contributions, things are not done to a rigid schedule.  Some upcoming films, as you point out, do not have a synopsis.  Some do not have articles at all.  Some films that have been out years don't have synopses.  It's all reliant upon what people feel like doing, as very few editors have a systematic approach to editing. Geoff B (talk) 15:25, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks Geoff, I do understand and we do want to operate within the rules of Wikipedia, but I hope you can understand that this is damaging our release, hence why we were keen to limit plot details as the mainstream press in the UK are now launching into a 'Moral Panic' campaign without having seen the film. This case is pretty unique and will prove to be a historic release, and we have enough of a fight on our hands as it is.
