- Project news
- Looking for something to do? A large cleanup listing has been started for improving our project's articles currently tagged with cleanup banners. The list is updated weekly and covers over 20,000 articles under the project's scope. The list can also be viewed by the type of cleanup needed. With this many articles and the variety of cleanup categories available, there is something for everyone. Note that the list may take a while to load.
- Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter (film series), Inception, Internet Movie Database, and The Social Network. 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 over 77,500 film-related articles, with over two 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. - WP:FILM again has another FAR for one of its older articles. Our Gang's FAR can be viewed here. Consider helping to address the issues raised to help the article maintain its status.
- Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in November.
- Member news
- New members to the project since the last issue include: Clintong, Elizium23, Magic Lemur, MC RIDE, Pantera5FDP, & Zucchinidreams.
