Deletions

Errrrr...Why were the notes about production and everything deleted? THey're supposed to be here per Wikiproject films... Sophy's Duckling 00:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A one line section? Also, the budget is already specified in the info box and the fact that it was filmed in the U.K. is hardly noteworthy. But keep it if you want. Clarityfiend 17:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's all that is available on the production available online; i'm hoping someone will come along and be able to expand it. Also, yes, the films project designates it as a separate section. Sophy's Duckling 07:18, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikihermit has taken upon itself to remove every image in this article, including the long-standing image of this film's poster!

Fair use rationale for Image:Horatio.jpg

Image:Horatio.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Characters section

I propose deleting this, as it is too detailed, in part reiterates what is in the plot summary, and is not especially necessary for an understanding of the film. Such sections are used in articles about novels, but not those for movies. It is not in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines, nor have I seen it in another film article.

Image copyright problem with Image:CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER-15.jpg

The image Image:CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER-15.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Production country

User:Thomas Blomberg has just changed the country to United States, giving what looks like a reasonable argument in the edit summary. However, IMDB claims UK. I've lend away my copy, but I do think the back matter also said UK. As far as I known, the country of a movie is often selected fairly arbitrarily by the production company, based more on tax laws and subsidies than on other criteria. So unless we can find a better source, I'll go with IMDB and change it back to UK. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a copy of the film, and have just checked. There is no specific indication of country, but it's "Produced & Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures", which usually means the US. The fact that IMDb claims UK doesn't mean much, as IMDb is very much like Wikipedia, allowing almost anyone to contribute, and consequently has its fair share of errors. Thomas Blomberg (talk) 20:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked de:Des Königs Admiral, which claims US and UK, but lists two (German language) movie lexicons that both claim "USA". So it looks as if you are right. It would be nice to find a good English source for, but we can use this for now. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:30, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

El Supremo's fortress?

Any ideas where they filmed the exterior scenes in the Med? 86.167.190.165 (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Does this picture in the article meet the "fair use" rules?

Hi all,
See: this pic and WP:NFCI.
