There Should Be A Wikipedia Article on The Documentary

There needs to be a Wikipedia page on the documentary made by Donna Musil, "Brats Our Journey Home".

Just elaborating a little further.

It's a major work that has influenced a wide range of discussion and reflection on the subject. That's why there really should be a Wikipedia article about it.

Article Improvements

Just finished adding sections to give it a real article feel, also more content and citations.

It's still far too dependent on primary sources and I have tagged it for notability. It was overcategorized into many diffused categories and I have removed them. As for the suggestion of separate article on the film, I would suggest that there is not enough independent notability for both. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:07, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see the extra information for non-US readers -NOT- residents, about the "kindergarten-to-University" sequence concerning first to umteenth-grade classes and their respective relevance (average age and so forth, general progress - you name it). It's difficultier than translating "Schneewittchen" in (to in) to the American language or something else resembling English ____ (hope this works; if not: kindly _ Sintermerte) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sintermerte (talk • contribs) 04:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unbelievable Request to Delete Article Because Musil is "Not Notable"

The Documentary made by Musil ("Brats: Our Journey Home") WON TWENTY-ONE FILM AWARDS. (Sorry-correction-- SIX, but that is still very notable).

Honestly, if you are going to volunteer for Wikipedia then you should actually read the whole article before making reverts/calling for an article deletion.

I removed the banner calling for deletion, because it is just so absurd that it was placed here.

It did not "win" 21 awards. Did you read the article? it won a handful at minor festivals and was selected to others. I still question whether the filmmaker is independently notable. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:46, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, only six awards. Are you serious? Six awards is plenty. Please stop harassing an article that has great merit beyond which you are narrowly describing here.

The article has ample citations that the documentary that Musil made (and is mentioned in the article) won six film awards.

The documentary includes narration by former military brat and noted actor and country and Western singer Kris Kristopherson, a personal interview of General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. former supreme commander of US military forces in the first gulf war (he is also former military brat) and numerous highly recognized authors in the field of military brat research and study. This along with numerous everyday military brats.

And the Military Channel, a subsidiary of the Discovery channel is getting ready to air the documentary (sometime this month).

All of this information was (already) available in the article, it's references and links were all there before this persons began posting spurious banners (about deletion).

For these reasons I ask any investigating admin to warn or block this individual for misusing the Wikipedia process.

It might be funny if it weren't so sad, given the serious subject of the documentary-- that this person is smearing for some unknown reason--

An award-winning documentary about the lives, stresses, difficulties and struggles of American military children.

In the US once a crime has been proven, then aggravating circumstances are taken into account. Although not a crime, this persons claims against the article are an abuse of the Wikipedia process--

And I would say that the fact that this is a documentary about US military children that this person is targeting via misuse of Wikipedia protocol-- I would say that is an aggravating circumstance and I hope that is also taken into account.

The Wikipedia review process is for serious purposes and is not supposed to be a plaything (like a chess game) for ones personal entertainment.

Sincerely,
