Well, it's up for deletion already!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Return_of_the_Ghostbusters_%282nd_nomination%29

I think we're gonna have to wait a couple months on this one.


Please do not try to repost the ROTGB wikipedia when they delete it. We need to wait a couple months and see if it is even popular enough to have a wiki article!

[StoyBoy720]

I'd be willing to help out in this. If anyone else would care to contribute as well, that would help.

Any and all links, articles, and photos would be helpful.

I've already added little nods to the films on some Wikipedia pages.

I'm reconstructing the ROTG page after what happened to it the last time we made it.

-edit-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_the_Ghostbusters

Everybody should watch this page and make sure nothing bad happens to it.

[Bojac]

Looks like the bastards have already taken it down.

So looks like we're gonna have to fight them, here's the code I used to create the page. People who are smart enough to use Wikipedia need to keep reposting this page.

I took it down because you forgot to put the visual FX crew in.

LOL

[Boomerjinks]

Says here that ROTGB features Ronald McDonald, with the help of cheese soup, controlling America from a secret Volkswagen - hidden in the past.

Thats not right.

has anyone messed with this page?

you may want to check it

[BraxtAnFILM]

Someone keeps vandalizing it!  LOL, so much time on some people's hands.  I guess when you can't do better, there's always vandalizing someone else's work to bail you out!

I added the two films into that page last night. Seemed appropriate to have them there.

[StoyBoy720]

I wrote a slightly more in-depth intro to the article. In case someone deletes it, I'm reposting it here, code and all:

''Return of the Ghostbusters'' is a [[fan film]] of the [[Ghostbusters]] franchise, and is directed by Hank Braxtan, released on [[October 31]], [[2007]]. The film serves as a sequel to Braxtan's [[2004]] fan film ''[[Freddy vs. Ghostbusters]]'', and continues the story of the Ghostbusters franchise based out of Denver, Colorado. The fim is noteworthy for a feature-length running time (85 minutes), being a sequel to a fan film, the acquisition of funding and production by numerous Ghosbusters fans from around the world, as well as the tremendously increased production values from the previous film. ''Return of the Ghostbusters'' features [[CGI]] [[visual effects]] that technologically surpass the quality of effects used in the source films, ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' and ''[[Ghostbusters II]]''.

***

NOTE: I don't think we need to have the "see Fan Film for more info" line in there, as there's already a link to the "fan film" article in the blurb to begin with.

[StoyBoy720]

Just so people don't think this was vandalization, I am updating some other sections. the Plot right now sounds WAY too much like an advertisement for the film (which Wikipedia will delete), so that will need to be fleshed out. I also tweaked Releases to sound more "official."

We're going to need some notations on the page to give it some more credibility. We can keep working on that, but it should be added soon so the article doesn't get flagged for removal.

[BraxtAnFILM]

Dude, you rock.

[Bojac]

I was going to make it more indepth. I just threw that page together before I went to class.

[BraxtAnFILM]

Looks good, though.  We need to add the FX artists.

[StoyBoy720]

I was going to make it more indepth. I just threw that page together before I went to class.

It's all good. We're all in this together to get a sweet article made up. I'm much better at adding and fleshing out content than actually starting up the page anyway, so I guess we make a good team. :p

I just added a new section called "Supplemental Material" which talks about the web comic. It'd be sweet if we could get a section talking about the new technology (neautrino pack etc.). Depending how slow work is, I may whip something up.

[Bojac]

I added a bit about the Comic.

[BraxtAnFILM]

Providing, of course, this isn't deleted! 

[StoyBoy720]

Lol, well right now there are two sectios talking about the comic, so if one's deleted we still have one. :p

[StoyBoy720]

Fixed. And I combined the Prequel Comic sections into one.

Should that happen again, here's the code for the page as it is now:

==Releases==
A premiere event was held on October 25, 2007 at the Mayan Theater in Denver, CO. The premiere was attended by the cast and crew of the film, as well as over 400 fans, family members, and members of the Braxtanfilm Message Boards.

The film was released for free distribution on the internet on October 31, 2007. The first day of the film's availability was exclusively as a streaming video on [[iFilm]], and has since been released in versions which are downloadable for [[Zune]] and [[iPod]] devices. A downloadable high resolution [[Torrent]] has also been released. All versions are available on the official ''Return of the Ghostbusters'' website.


==Prequel Comic==
[[Image:rotgcomic.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ed & Eugene to the rescue.]]

A web comic entitled ''Ghostbusters: The Denver Chronicles'' was released on the ''Return of the Ghostbusters'' website one day prior to the film's release. Co-written by Hank Braxtan & "The Sandman," the comic bridges the gap between the three years between ''Freddy vs. Ghostbusters'' and ''Return of the Ghostbusters''. The comic explains several changes that occur between the two films, primarily the loss of Ghostbuster Eugene O'Fitzpatrick (portrayed by Jason Cook in ''Freddy vs. Ghostbusters'').

The comic finds Neil Anderson alone in Denver busting ghosts, and dealing with a few vandals who damaged the original Ecto truck from ''Freddy vs. Ghostbusters.'' Ed Spengler & Eugene O'Fitzpatrick are in London at the [[British Museum]] to answer a call that the "New York Chapter" (the original four Ghostbusters from the feture films) was too busy to handle. There, Eugene discovers a map inside an artifact to the lost city of [[Cynopolis]]. Janosz Poha, a character from ''Ghostbusters II'' (who has since moved to England to "get away from you guys"), takes this map to the sole financier of the Ancient Egypt exhibit Klaus Konstantin (and his assistant, Pavel Karnov). Twenty-eight days ater, Ed and  Eugene are invited to the archaeological site they helped Konstantin discover. They drive through the desert in an undecorated white automobile, presumably the future Ectomobile featured in ''Return of the Ghostbusters''. Unfortunately they arrive to discover a cave-in where several crew members are injured, and Konstantin is crippled, explainig his paralysis in the film. The two ghostbusters run to their rescue only to have Ed incapacitated by a group of ressurected [[Mummies]], and it's up to Eugene who fights valiantly against the mummies. Sadly during the confrontation of Eugene and the last Mummy there's another cave-in and Eugene is tragically killed.

The comic's final panel features brief appearances by the four original Ghostbusters (Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore), their secretary Janine Melnitz, attending Eugene's funeral along with the surviving Denver Ghostbusters. Also in attendance are [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] from the [[Super Mario Bros.]] video games, bearing the likenesses of [[Lou Albano|"Captain" Lou Albano]] and [[Danny Wells]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show]]''.
