Project News

Two new templates are available for assisting in adding fair use rationales for film-related images that need them. Template:Filmrationale can be included on the image page for posters, screenshots, and VHS/DVD covers while Template:Filmbiorationale can be used for deceased actors. By adding fair use rationales for the many images the project includes, we can help ensure that various images are not deleted for lacking a FUR.
List of American films has been developed, and could currently use some assistance in developing each of the years, beginning in the 1890s to 2009. Each year needs to have the list of films converted to wikilinks within tables that also contain the director, cast, and genre of the film. Consider tackling a year or assisting in sorting a few films when you have the time.
After a discussion on the main project talk page, a policy was proposed and discussion started on its talk page. This policy, Wikipedia:Citing IMDb, was later rejected by the community. However, please keep in mind that certain aspects of it can be taken into account by article writers as guidelines.
Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in this issue date July 2007.
