If you have a moment...

I'd like you to take a look at my new essay "On other evidence of film notability" before it goes live. Many thanks, Schmidt,' ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey Michael. This is a really great essay. I didn't notice any errors when I read through it. Let me know when it goes live! I'm excited to use it. BOVINEBOY2008 00:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

WP:Other evidence of film notability, WP:OEN, and WP:ATTRIBUTES will be bluelinks within an hour. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey hi

I noticed that you are assessing the articles. Can I ask how you do it? Is there a separate tool for assessing or you just write it as a stub? Would like to know how to assess an article. Thanks ASHU^IND 17:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

If you are interested in assessing articles, I am so willing to help out. I don't use any bots; the actual assessment is typed in manually. The best resource for how to assess a (film) article is to read WP:FILM#Assessment. I usually read through the article, and judging by its quality, range of coverage, use of supplemental infoboxes and images, and quality and quantity sources, I make a judgement on the scale given in the link above.

Proposal to add American cinema task force under WikiProject United States

Greetings, I am a member of WikiProject United States, it was recently suggested that the American cinema task force of WikiProject Film which you are a member, might be inactive or semi active and it might be beneficial to include a joint task force for it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States, which Kumioko and me have added some of the projects like WikiProject American television and WikiProject United States Government. After reviewing the project it appears that there have not been any active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the task force talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 21:39, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

That was weird, It appeared to me in the revision history that he/she was censoring, not uncensoring. Sorry about the confusion.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:28, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I figured that was the case. No worries! BOVINEBOY2008 19:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

We Found Love video

Is not a film, so why have you changed it? Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 16:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

It is a film. You cannot just pick which aspects of MOS:FILM you would like to use. BOVINEBOY2008 16:30, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not a film. Lady Gaga's Judas should be considered a film then by your reasoning. It's ludacris. Just because there is an opening monologue, doesn't mean it's a film. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 16:40, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Music video: "A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes." The emphasis is mine, the quote is direct. BOVINEBOY2008 23:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

A short film, not a film. It's fine as it is. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 01:29, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Short films take the same naming conventions as full-length and extended-length films, as they are films. Clearly we disagree about this and it doesn't seem like this conversation is going anywhere, so I'll bring it up on the talk page. BOVINEBOY2008 02:27, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
