Hi there,

I noticed that "Out of Evil," a 1950-1 Israeli film which was listed on the main program of the 6th Locarno Film Festival, was one of few which did not have its own article. So I drafted one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Out_of_Evil

I tagged it with the tags for WikiProject on Israeli cinema:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Film/Israeli_cinema_task_force

But maybe there is a more fitting or active project, I am not sure. Would you kindly take a peek at my draft and let me know what you think?

Thank you in advance.

:Hi again! {{Re|HussainHx}}

:I just took a look and this is great! I love new movie pages and it was fun to learn about this film!

:The main concern for any article getting reviewed is notability. I think this is definitely notable (and likely a reviewer would too), but I lean towards inclusionism on Wikipedia. Adding a source or two would help ensure it goes through.

:

:In all though, this page is well done and there are some easy fixes to make it even better.

:First sentence:

:*Generally, you don’t need inline sources in the opening sentence for a film's director and date on film pages

:*IMDB is not often used as an inline citation, here's an essay (i.e not a Wikipedia style rule), but I think it's good practice Wikipedia:Citing IMDb. It’s often used for cast lists. And good practice is to make an External Links section (it goes after references) and use the Template:IMDb title ex {{IMDb title|0088247|The Terminator}}

:For the second sentence:

:*consider copyright. The second sentence is pretty close to the exact words of the source, so I would change this a bit. This is a low-stakes example, but copyright is always something to watch for.

:*Also, this may not be a super strong source (even though it's definitely correct here) Adding another source somewhere would help beef up the page

:Plot sections:

:*Plot sections or synopsis sections actually don’t need sources. The film itself is considered the source. I think a smart move is to just keep this source on the page in another section it adds to (which you already did!)

:

:Reappraisal I would change to Themes

:*This follows the naming conventions on other film pages in the Wiki:Manual of Style/Film a little cleaner and it matches with information in this section a little better in my opinion.

:* Oh and maybe add a little "Scholar," to Amanda Bernstein. You want to establish why this person is an expert on the topic they are writing on.

:Final fix

:*{{CinemaofIsrael}} goes at the bottom of page after the reflist in the source code. (And yes it's totally appropriate here!)

:Looking to lots of other film pages and the Wiki:Manual of Style/Film is super helpful to figure out the style.

:

:Again, this is really great! On the sources, I know I started by saying "you could add more sources" and then said "these parts don't actually need sources", which sounds counterintuitive, but that's how the wikistyle works :) For notability, any source you could add (maybe a critic review or production detail) would help make sure it's clearly notable to any reviewer, even though I think it's notable already.

:Not sure if this is your first film page, but this is awesome. I hope you keep it up!

:P.S. (if you don't already switch between visual and source code editing I highly recommend it. It makes templates much easier to work with or for example Draft:Out of Evil) SquawkGuard (talk) 05:23, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{Re|HussainHx}}

:'''Hey, I got excited by your article and really should have focused on your main question better!

:'''

:The WP:Israeli cinema task force totally applies to this film. It's not required to add that to the bottom of the main article page, but it works and fits. Once the article is up the article's Talk page is where you can add other project tags like "WikiProject Film" and countries .

:Also! found a source you could add [https://jfc.org.il/en/movie/37273-2/#:~:text=Joseph%20Halochem%2C%20the%20apple%20of,in%20the%20battles%20for%20Jerusalem. Israeli Film Archive/Out of Evil] and I'll take a look in my library database too, see if I can find a review.

:— SquawkGuard (talk) 06:08, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

::Hi :-)

::This is my first film page—my only other article submission so far has been for Triptonide. Thank you for your kind words.

::I appreciate your enthusiasm and guidance so very much. My main concern was the WikiProject but I was hoping to get as much from you as you were willing and able to offer.

::I have made the following changes to the draft:

::* Changed IMDB cite from inline to external using template, per custom

::* Rephrased synopsis sentence in lede for reasons of copyright and completeness

::* Cited Israeli Film Archive (IFA) for sentence in lede as it discusses film in more depth—thank you for locating that

::* Added IFA info to infobox with citations for info which appeared more specific than that offered by IMDB (e.g. “84 minutes” instead of “2 hours”)

::* Removed inline citation from synopsis section as the film is considered the source

::* Renamed Reappraisal to Themes, per MOS:FILM—thank you, I was not certain about this

::* Added “scholar” to Bernstein to establish expertise

::* Moved \{\{CinemaofIsrael\}\} to the very bottom of the page

::* I had already tagged the Talk page with \{\{CinemaofIsrael\}\} and a bot added a banner noting it was also of interest to WP:FILM

::Thank you for the tips and I understand that style can sometimes seem confusing. You mentioned a film critic review would aid the case for notability, and the draft does seem to be missing something in-depth about how the film was received by contemporaries which indicates the motivation for the awards. You also mentioned that production details could also improve notability—such as revenue generated, maybe?

::Thank you so much for offering to find info in your library database. I am looking forward to what you might find.

::HussainHx (talk) 16:13, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Hey {{Re|HussainHx}}!

:::

:::I took a look at the updated draft. It looks great! Nice work!

:::Some simple notes.

:::*The info box should be the first thing in the source view. The text will auto-correct around it.

:::*A little different wording on the Venice fact "was screened in competition at" Films aren't nominated for a Golden Lion at Venice, every film in competition is up for the award.

:::And:

:::I found two scholarly sources you can add! (More than enough to make this film notable to any reviewer!)

:::If you can’t get access to the journals yourself. I wrote up a little bit (I would add it to the draft myself (and I can if you want me to), but if this is your first film article I think It’s fun for you to have done it all your self and you can always copy any bits of mine you want)

:::

::::My write up:

::::This film is part of the “Zionist realism” filmmaking movement.[site 2] This film making style, as as shown in this film, emphasizes the group over the family and over the individual. [ site 2] It also re-enforces images of the strong masculine Jewish settler, in contrast with the images of passive “Diaspora Jews” and “effeminate images of Holocaust survivors”.[ site 1]

:::

:::This is super interesting. Films are so fascinating and great cause the are all about constructing images of ourselves and making meaning. And this seems to be part of a whole film movement at the time, really interesting! This was a great film choice to write about I'm glad it will (hopefully) soon be added to Wikipedia!
