I think we need to limit this list a little. Just listing every documentary would be kind of worthless. If you think about it, most shows on the History Channel, Biography, Discovery Channel etc. are documetaries. A massive list of these wouldn't help anyone. How about some amorpous guidelines?: add documentaries you feel are well-known, influential, or significant in some way. user:ike9898—Preceding undated comment added by Ike9898 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 31 December 2003 (UTC)
- Or anything that we already have an article about.—Eloquence—Preceding undated comment added by Eloquence (talk • contribs) 18:51, 31 December 2003 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree. This list should probably be more inclusive (less selective) than the list in the documentary film article, but still not everything ever made. User:ike9898—Preceding undated comment added by Ike9898 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 31 December 2003 (UTC)
What is this article? A "list of documentaries"? Documentary films (it would appear)? What use could this possibly be? There are tens of thousands of documentary films extant. As such, this list could never become nearly comprehensive without becoming redundant and irrelevant. Some kind of editorial guideline must be established: for example, documentary films with theatrical release in the United States. Otherwise this is just way too vague - why not just have a list of all the books ever written, or the name of every person ever born in Denmark? sept 26 2006 Kps2420—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kps2420 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think this list should include only entries of existing articles on documentaries. There is a list for films without article, for red links. Hoverfish 00:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)\
Listing
If this article isn't going to list them all, is there another online resource that we could post a link to that would list them all? IMDB? Chadlupkes 00:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
clean-up
I just spent 3hrs cleaning up this wiki page. I did not delete anyone's entrys,I added to a lot of them, and deleted heaps of crap and fixed heaps of wiki links, changed some wrong info etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoneintraining (talk • contribs) 22:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Alex Tweddle
Is this Tweddle himself adding all this stuff to wikipedia? Something is fishy about this. Enigmaman 06:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Who Cares, does it matter?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoneintraining (talk • contribs) 13:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
List of documentaries
We will add as many documentaries as humanly possible, Regardless of films or made for tv. This will be the greatest list of documentaries ever made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoneintraining (talk • contribs) 13:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
WP:Films reassessment
A request was made at WP:FILMS assessment department asking for a reassessment of this article. Because it is a list, the only two classes it can be are "List" class (which it currently is), or a "Featured list" which is determined after going through the featured list nomination process. The article should look at the featured list criteria to determine how the article can reach this status. As a side note, I'd recommend having all of the films being placed in italics and expand the lead. If you have further questions, please contact me or the assessment department. Good work so far and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 07:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Documentaries about Film and animation History
are they included?DoctorHver (talk) 18:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes they are included if they are documentarys and have a related article--intraining Jack In 13:25, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
What needs to be done
Create tables for all sectionsDONE- Add director/s and/or producer/s if any listings are with-out
- Add realiable references for every listing - IMDB is not considered realiable; Official documentary websites are preferred if available, otherwise Google/Bing are your friends.
- Add more documentarys; this will always be on going - keep in mind this list is for documentarys only found on wikipedia
- general typo errors
- maintain alphabetical order
- An expansion of the lead paragraph is desired

sorting
hi, if i want to sort the list after the year, it just wont sort... can someone please fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.167.1.89 (talk) 01:33, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
yeah, could u get that right?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.207.13.202 (talk) 22:08, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
Tables have all been fixed to sort appropriately. Titles have been altered so they sort right (eg. Inconvenient Truth, An). User:ArmedCalculator (talk) 11:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
proposal to merge tables
what do you think about about merging the table into 1 single table.--intraining Jack In 04:01, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
