Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Outreach/April 2007 Newsletter

Project News

• Two new WikiProjects have formed that relate to WP:Films. WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers has been started as a descendant of WP:Films and WP:BIO. The project will help to improve the quality of articles on actors, directors, screenwriters, producers, cinematographers, film editors, and film score composers. WikiProject James Bond also formed this month and will help to improve James Bond films, books, characters, and other related articles. The projects each currently have memberships of 20 users, and are seeking new members. Stop by both of these new projects and see if they interest you.
• We have now reached over 25,000 film articles that have been assessed by our assessment department! Remember to always add the {{Film|class=}} template to a film article's talk page so the project can get a better idea of what work still needs to be done. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class and importance.
• Films without infoboxes have increased from about 2,000 to just over 5,000 films with systematic tagging completed this month. There are also tallies for requested film images (~7,000), articles that need synopsis (~4,100) and articles that need cast section (~400).
• Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in April 2007.

• There were also two GA films that were recently delisted. Please help return the articles to their prior GA status.
  • 300 - Delisted on 4/2
  • An Inconvenient Truth - Delisted on 4/2
