Volume V, no. 6 - June 2010
Project news
  • Last month, significant progress was made on contributing to the discussion pertaining to the non-free images in our spotlight articles. Based on consensus, several images were removed. However, there are still multiple FA and GA articles that need some input to determine if they should be kept or not. The goal of the drive is not to remove all non-free images from the articles, but to ensure that they comply with fair use requirements. If you have not already (or if you have, please revisit) join in on the discussion to help finish off the images. Even if you comment on only a few articles, that will be very helpful in determining consensus and allow for focusing on the sources and prose of the articles.
  • Our project currently has over 64,700 film-related articles, with just over a hundred unassessed articles, thanks to the 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. If you believe that an article should be assessed at a certain class, feel free to follow the assessment scale and assess the article yourself (it's not too difficult to determine the basic classes such as stubs, categories, or lists). Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class.
  • Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Internet Movie Database, Toy Story 3, 2010 in film, List of Toy Story characters, and Shutter Island. 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: Several film articles reached GA status in June 2010.
    • Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (6/14)
    • Wall Street (6/17)
    • Americana (6/30)
Member news
  • New members to the project since the last issue include: SCFilm29, Melissaganus, LtMuldoon, DShantz, Frankdasilva, NortonFord, Jaystriker7, & Donmike10.
  • Recipients of the WikiProject Films Award: Smetanahue for contributions to film articles related to the 2010 Cannes Film Festival and Morenooso for expanding The Bandit Queen to a DYK.
  • Remember that any editor can give the WikiProject Films Award to another WP:Films member. If you do present this award, please make mention of it here or tell one of the newsletter editors who will then include it in the next issue.
  • Please add your name to the member list if you have not already.
