The Films WikiProject Newsletter
Volume III, no. 5 - May 2008
Project News
  • Our project now has just under 42,000 film-related 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.
  • Do you know of an article that is assessed at a class below what you think it should be? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's request for assessment. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.
  • A new task force was created recently: A Japanese films task force. The task forces currently needs new members to help with expansion. If you would like to help, please sign up on the task force's page.
  • If you know of an article that has reached GA status or you think could become a FA, consider taking your article to the project's A-class review department to see if it qualifies for a higher class. The process is a great way to improve the quality of your article and provides a stepping stone before heading to FAC.
  • There are currently two articles in Featured Article Review, that would benefit from your comments:Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Please stop by and help these articles keep their featured status.
  • Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in May 2008.

Welcome!

Hey, welcome to WikiProject Films! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of films, awards, festivals, filmmaking, and film characters. If you haven't already, please add {{User WikiProject Films}} to your user page.

A few features that you might find helpful:

  • Most of our important discussions about the project itself and its related articles take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.

There is a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Want to jump right into editing? The style guidelines show things you should include.
  • Want to assist in some current backlogs within the project? Visit the Announcements template to see how you can help.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? Our assessment department has rated the quality of every film article in Wikipedia. Check it out!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!
