- The Tag & Assess drive has completed another month. There are over 50,000 articles that need to be reviewed. We have already assessed over 21,800 articles! This will take a project-wide effort to complete, and it will be helpful if you complete even just one range (of course, you may like it and want to do more!). As we strive to do these project-wide complete assessments only every 5 years or so, it is helpful if every film member helps a bit to prevent it from dragging on. The vast majority of the Stub-class articles are available to review, and each article usually takes just a few seconds to complete (many do not require reassessment at all). Completing this drive will allow our members to focus on more pressing issues within the project. The top three reviewers so far are Big Bird (3,000), Bovineboy2008 (1,800), and Peppage/Pjoef (1,000). With many ranges still available, you can still compete for the top awards. Instructions can be found on the drive's page. A new tips section has been added with instructions on how to reduce the time it takes to review each article.
- We currently have two FACs open, American Beauty and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Consider weighing in at their nomination pages on what further improvements the articles need to meet the FA criteria.
- Our project currently has over 63,500 film-related articles, with 61,600 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. Many of our unassessed articles have been reviewed thanks to participation in the Tag & Assess drive.
- Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Avatar (2009 film) (for the third month in a row, and with over 2 million views), Shutter Island (film), Valentine's Day (film), Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Alice in Wonderland (2010 film). For a list of our project's top 1,000 most popular articles, see here. Consider helping to improve one of these articles that is seen by thousands to millions of people each month.
- Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in February 2010. Jaws is currently at FAR and could use assistance in helping it maintain its FA status.
