- Project news
- As 2010's credits have concluded rolling, our project had another successful year in improvements in various areas throughout the project. We saw the completion of the Tag & Assess Drive, which resulted in 31,000 articles being reviewed and re-assessed. In January, the most popular article of the year for WP:FILM was Avatar, reaching 5.1 million views for the month. Guidelines for writing film articles changed significantly, so if you have not already, it would be a good idea to re-read the page for bringing current articles into compliance with guidelines. As we improved dozens of articles to GA/FA/FL status in 2010, consider making a New Year's resolution to bring an article up to a higher class, pushing yourself to reach a level you have not yet reached. With over 150 members, our project would see great success if each editor worked to improve just one article.
- WP:HORROR, our sister WikiProject, is currently holding a discussion on how to revitalize the project. Consider weighing in on how the project can better serve the articles under its scope and its members.
- Koavf has suggested bringing The Fountain up to FA and would welcome assistance from other editors in further improving the article. It is currently undergoing a peer review, where any comments would be helpful for the article's journey to FAC.
- Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Tron, Tron: Legacy, Inception, Black Swan, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. 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.
- At the beginning of 2010, WP:FILM had 63,000 film articles. Our project currently has over 78,300 film-related articles, with over three hundred unassessed articles, thanks to the assessment department! Remember to always add the
{{WikiProject 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.
- Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in December 2010.
- Member news
- New members to the project since the last issue include: Delilah221, Rokman, Universalstonecutter, & Zargabaath.
- Remember that any editor can give the WikiProject Film 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.
