'Spandan' Movie Review
I'd like to point out that the notnews tag, and others, you removed from this article have been re-added. They will continue to be re-added, because Wikinews does not do opinion pieces.

We're bound by the Wikimedia Foundation's neutral point of view policy, so it is well-nigh impossible to do that type of article. Not intending to be harsh but, your opinion of a movie is not newsworthy. Roger Ebert's opinion would qualify as newsworthy &mdash; as would that of a handful of other well-established critics. However, I think synthesising a "roundup of reviews" would be quite a challenge; not a task I'd like to try, despite having around a dozen of Wikinews' featured/best articles.

That being said, if you have an interest in more "hard" news, you're most welcome to try your hand at that. Those of us who contribute regularly to Wikinews do try to be more forgiving on such pieces; we're more aware than most as-to the sorry state of modern journalism, and how that can make people believe their opinion is news. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:43, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
