[edit] Reminder

• These are suggested resources for the Entertainment vertical that we have had success with consistently. Remember that you should still keep each section to around five links total, and that there are likely many more resources out there aside from these suggestions.

• We expect film pages to be submitted at least one month prior to the film's wide release, so that we will have adequate time to add it to our index.

[edit] Timelines

• Our timeline format varies slightly from vertical to vertical, but the basic structure is the same...

• For film and television title entries in the Entertainment vertical:

1. First include this wiki code for the IMDb warning:
   • *<w>WARNING: Pop-ups.</w> ''Note: The IMDb links in this timeline have pop-ups.''
2. Include a hard return so there's a space between the warning and the first timeline entry.
3. List the year, with a colon after.
4. List the title in italics and, if we have it, make the title a link to our page on Mahalo.
5. Include a space, a hyphen, and another space after the title.
6. Include a link for the film or show to IMDb and name it "IMDb Listing."
7. Include a space, a pipe, and another space.
8. Include a link for the film or show to Rotten Tomatoes and name it "Rotten Tomatoes Reviews."
9. You may also include entries for Wikipedia or an official site if you'd like, and feel free to add chaka tags!

• So here's what the wiki code looks like for Keanu Reeves' entry for The Matrix on his SeRP's timeline:

• • *1999: ''[[The Matrix]]'' - [http://imdb.com/title/tt0133093/ IMDb Listing] | [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/matrix/ Rotten Tomatoes Reviews] <c>Andy: Another classic!</c>

• And it looks like this:
• 1999: The Matrix - IMDb Listing | Rotten Tomatoes Reviews  

• Check out Keanu's entire timeline here: Keanu Reeves Timeline

• For other verticals where a timeline entry simply consists of the year, a colon, and the text describing what happened on that date:

1. List the year, with a colon after.
2. If the entry requires the month and day, as do birthdates and dates of death, naturally incorporate them into the sentence, as in:
   • 1964: Born on September 2nd
3. Also, write entries in the present tense, as in:
   • 2005: Marries Monster Garage host Jesse G. James on July 16th
4. Remember to include internal links to Mahalo pages where possible, and to externally link wherever it will help the user.

• Note: In most cases, if an event is important enough to be listed in a timeline, it will require at least one link.

[edit] Merchandise

• Amazon.com, Google Product Search, AllPosters are great merchandise and product sites.
