- Project News
- Coordinator elections ended on April 12, 2008 resulting in four elected coordinators and one appointed coordinator. Girolamo Savonarola will resume his role as lead coordinator and will be assisted by Bzuk, Erik, Limetolime, and Nehrams2020. The coordinators will assist WP:FILMS in running smoothly, incorporate and introduce new elements into the project, and work together in discussions to further improve the project. A full list of the coordinators' responsiblities and information about the election can be seen on the main coordinator page.
- Our project now has just under 41,000 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.
- Girolamo Savonarola has started a discussion on the project's talk page asking any members who are interested in starting several new task forces. The topics of these potential task forces would include Japanese, German, and/or the Russian Empire. If you are interested in any of these groups, please join in on the discussion.
- The Film banner will soon go under a major overhaul to remove the importance parameter and make the task forces more prominently featured. The banner has also recently incorporated several of the project's tags (such as filmimage or film needs synopsis) that have cluttered film talk pages in the past. The project will soon either use a bot and/or volunteers to incorporate the tags into the banner.
- Do you have an article that has reached GA status or you think could become a FA? If so, 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.
- Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in April 2008.
