message: :Image:C0889-00.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Having seen the film, I think the current plot summary is too long. It's not a synopsis, after all. FrunkSpace (talk) 13:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you please explain what "I think that this film isn't notable enough to have a plot summary at all" means? It doesn't make sense to me in any context. Wikipedia isn't a paper encyclopedia, so there's no reason to limit the amount of coverage based on the relative notability of a subject. Yes, the plot summary was too long, but cutting it entirely for the reasons given here isn't a reasonable response when there's surely something salvageable. - Bobet 11:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was merely pointing out the fact that this is page, a page about a South Korean film (which, just encase you think I'm trolling or something, is one of my favourite films), is on the English speaking Wikipedia and contains a plot summary that is far too long for a film that is not aimed at a primarily-English-speaking audience, which is all it is likely to find here. I personally do not know how to write a summary for a film, thus I simply removed it as it tells the story of the whole film. If someone would like to reverse my decision, so be it, but a smaller plot is much more desirable. I made the decision that not having a summary at all, for the time being (until someone, if need be, myself, writes a new version - I personally do not have time right now), than have one that could potentially spoil the film for someone who hasn't seen it.

replies: text: There's no reason to avoid spoilers in plot summaries, since anyone reading a section called 'plot' should expect them. Please see Wikipedia:Spoiler (or the condensed version: "It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot"). And like I said before, the section was too long, and some should be cut out, but it's still better than nothing at all. It's just that the cuts should be made on the fluff, not the important plot points or the ending. - Bobet 17:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
