WikiProject Films

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.

The project has a monthly newsletter. The newsletter for March has been published. April's issue is currently in production; it will be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

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! —Erik (talk • contrib) 21:38, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just wanted to say welcome board! :) Do not worry about being new here... we were all new once upon a time. If there is anything I can do to help you learn the ropes, feel free to contact me on my talk page! :) —Erik (talk • contrib) 00:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Erik! It's true that it's all a bit overwhelming! But I thought the best thing to do would just be to jump in and try editing my first article: (Antoine and Colette-- hopefully I can add more to this particular entry when I know more of the ropes!). It really is more fun than I thought it would be. There are so many articles on Wikipedia that I've always wanted to add to; I can hardly believe I'm finally doing it. It's almost like learning a new language being here, isn't it?...slightly intimidating but like being let in on some vast other culture.

At any rate, my specialty knowledge is in French new wave film, as well as the international "new waves": British Free Cinema, New German Cinema, Cinema Novo, Polish new wave, etc. Hopefully I can help out with the French film task force; let me know if there's anything in particular that needs attention? And thanks again for being so welcoming. I look forward to adding a few more bits of information to the "giant brain"! I can only hope that everyone I meet here is as nice as you. :-) Echoflame (talk) 00:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are definitely on the right track with your pet project! When I started out, I worked on The Fountain, which did not get a lot of attention. That helped me work on the article in a way. I am the lead coordinator for WikiProject Films (seven of us elected recently), and I am working on strengthening collaboration. I hope you can play a role with the French film task force! :) Believe me, there's endless work to be done on Wikipedia, whether film-related or not... do what interests you. Some pointers I can give you: Look at the style guidelines for ideas on how to write film articles. Look at articles in our spotlight for examples of quality articles. Visit the main talk page to see what discussions go on there and feel free to ask questions! I don't know if you're doing this yet, but you can have a watchlist of articles (click "my watchlist" at the top of the page) and see what changes editors make. On articles, there could be good additions to expand or vandalism to remove. On talk pages, people may start topics. For example, I created Jonah Hex (film) recently, and someone started a discussion at Talk:Jonah Hex (film) about clarifying the film's premise. Your user page and user talk page are on my watchlist, so you can ask questions here, and I'll respond! —Erik (talk • contrib) 00:46, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wiki.x.io/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 22:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
