Executive producers

Last month, I got this message on my user talk page, and I will copy it here since it relates to the revert I just performed:

Hi Erik I am one of the producers of Tiger House - I believe you created the page for that, for which we are very grateful! One of the executive producers asked me to ensure that his name was mentioned, which I did some time ago by adding in all the EPs. I see in your last edit that you had removed this line. I would be really grateful if you would undo that change, or alternatively, add the EPs in the box on the right (my wiwki editing skills are not quite up to it!) I am not going to undo the change as you might simply redo it, which would be pointless! Thanks

Hi, Richard. It is uncommon to include executive producers in the article body unless reliable sources discuss how they were specifically involved with the film. In addition, the guidelines at Template:Infobox film state that the "Produced by" field should only be producers, not executive producers, associate producers, etc. This is because we want to avoid being indiscriminate on Wikipedia, and WikiProject Film generally does not include executive producers by default. Also, in editing articles in which you have a vested interest, please be aware of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. However the film debuts, Wikipedia's coverage of its critical reception will be based on what reliable and independent sources say.

Hi Erik

I understand if you don't want it mentioned in the infobox, but I don't understand why the EPs can't be mentioned in the body of the article if they want to be (or if the producers want them to be). "Uncommon" is not a reason, it's a statement. Including them does not affect how the film is perceived or have any value judgment attached to it, it's a statement of fact about certain people's involvement. (This is partly in response to potential conflict on interest - it does not and is not trying to affect how the film will be received by audiences or critics.)

Thanks

Richard
