WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers is a WikiProject dedicated to building comprehensive and detailed guide to actors and other filmmakers. Working to provide a greater focus on people in the film industry, the project is an integral part of both WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Films.
- Scope
WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers covers biographical material of individuals involved in the process of making motion pictures, including people in the film industry such as the actors, directors, crew, and others who may be listed in the motion picture credits of a film. WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers does not cover individuals by reason of their participation in episodic programs such as those covered by WikiProject Television.
- Goals
- To standardize Wikipedia articles on film actors, film directors, film producers, screenwriters, cinematographers, film editors, and score composers.
- To improve Wikipedia coverage of film biographical material by adding, expanding and improving film biographical related articles
- To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia film character articles, including those that may be under scrutiny
- To maintain standards for articles about people in world cinema, as well as for categories, templates, and other Wikipedia items that may support those articles
- To encourage and provide a structure for enhancing the writing of high quality articles on all manner of different people involved in cinema.
- To ensure that every article biography related to film uses Template:Infobox actor and an image if possible. Please try to place the infobox in all film bio articles.

[edit] Filmography
One of the project goals is also to clean up filmographies in actor and filmmaker articles from scruffy or backwards lists into presentable standardized tables that provide information. A good filmography should be constructed in the following layout. This used as an example:
| Year | Film | Role | Other notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1998 | Dil Se | Preeti Nair | Winner, Filmfare Best Debut Award. Screened at the ERA New Horizons Film Festival & the Helsinki International Film Festival |
| Soldier | Preeti Singh | ||
| Premante Idera | Jaanu | Telugu film (Dulhan Dilwale Ki is the Hindi version) | |
| 1999 | Raja Kumarudu | Rani | Telugu film (Prince No. 1 is the Hindi version) |
| Sangharsh | CBI Officer Reet Oberoi | ||
| Dillagi | Rani | Guest Appearance | |
| 2000 | Kya Kehna | Priya Baxi | Nomination, Filmfare Best Actress Award |
| Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega | Jahnvi | ||
| Mission Kashmir | Sufiya Parvez | Screened at the Stockholm International Film Festival |

[edit] Scope
This project is an effort to improve the articles on Screenwriters and Screenwriting at Wikipedia and to create a portal to encompass the totality of that knowledge.
[edit] Current collaborations
- David Mamet, multi talented writer, occasional film director, cynic, teacher, and vocal opinionator.
- Jane Espenson, prolific TV writer, insightful blogger, and all around humorist.
- Michael Arndt, recent Academy Award winner for Best Original Screenplay, human being, and possible up-and-comer.
[edit] Goals
- Develop a format for writing the career of a screenwriter.
- Create a Screenwriters portal
[edit] Examples
Featured articles on screenwriters: Aaron Sorkin, William Monahan
Good articles on screenwriters:- Decent article on a TV writer: Josh Schwartz
[edit] Film producers
|

[edit] Cinematographers
|

[edit] Requested
- A list of missing cinematographers has been compiled at User:Girolamo Savonarola/dps.
[edit] Film editors
[edit] Examples
- Featured articles on film editors: (none)
- Good articles on film editors: Verna Fields
- B-class articles on film editors: Anne V. Coates, Thelma Schoonmaker
[edit] Missing editors in film articles
The infobox is often the only place in a film article where the editor is noted, but many film infoboxes do not include the film's editor(s). If you are working on an editor's article, please check the corresponding film articles to see if the editor has been listed; this work may be more important than adding the editor's filmography to the article!
If the editor is missing, the infobox may also be missing the editing = line. In this case you'll need to add this line to the infobox. You'll also need to place a "pipe" symbol | at the beginning (| editing =) or end of the line. Once the editing = line is present, enter the name of the editor using the format editing = [[editor's name]]. Multiple editors are entered using the format editing = [[editor 1 name]]<br />[[editor 2 name]].
[edit] Film editing: directors and editors
In editing articles about film editors, it's important to acknowledge that the editing of a particular film is usually a collaboration between the director and the editor. For this reason, it is reasonable to indicate the director for each film in an editor's filmography. imdb doesn't naturally do this, which could make Wikipedia's filmographies for film editors more useful than imdb's. Longstanding, particularly notable collaborations of editors and directors can be added to the List of film director and editor collaborations.
