WP:FILM April newsletter

The WikiProject Film Newsletter Volume VI, no. 4 - April 2011
Project news For the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Smetanahue has suggested a collaboration to improve the films associated with the festival. Many of the films in the competition or showcased in the festival lack articles or could use expansion. Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Scream 4, Sucker Punch, Fast Five, 2011 in film, and Thor. 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. Our project currently has just under 83,600 film-related articles, with only a few 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 April 2011. Let Me In (4/5) The Incredible Melting Man (4/5) Manhunter (4/4) Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (4/3) Enthiran (4/3) Persuasion (4/1) Member news New members to the project since the last issue include: Joseph A. Spadaro, Kokokiki, Raulbarattini, Filmmaker2011, Clc1990, & Darkwarriorblake. Remember that any editor can give the WikiProject Film Award to another WP:Film 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.

FLCs

Hi Matthew, hope things are good with you. I was wondering if you'd be able to re-visit each of the FLCs you've commented on sometime soon? No major stress but it would be helpful to get an update on things from your point of view. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 15:53, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Re-visit

Hey, you reviewed the Backstreet Boys discography earlier and I've worked on every suggestion you have made, except the ISO-3 names, as there seems to be a big arguement about it. Can you re-visit the page and review it again? KingdomHearts25 (talk) 21:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Featured Sounds needs you

Featured sounds was booming with activity in the March/April period, ideally that should be all the time. FS has been a battleground at times, however, it is my hope that that is in the past. I ask you all to reconsider your positions and set aside the differences you may have had with other participants for the good of the project and encyclopedia. Don't let FS become like VP, it is a path that a featured process should traverse. You were sent this message because you are listed at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Contributors or have been a past contributor.

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
