AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….
[edit]Greetings!
Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
- Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
- Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
- Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
- Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.
Thank you once again for being part of this global event!
Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wild Nights with Emily, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guggenheim Foundation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Video tutorial "Referencing with VisualEditor" – newsletter issue 1
[edit]
Good news: the (lengthy!) script draft 1 is complete!
[edit]Hello, I am happy to share that script draft 1 is complete and ready for public comment.
The script (link to the Google doc) is much longer than I anticipated, at almost 21 pages!
Although I think that the 21 page script would be a very good introduction to referencing policies and workflows, I am considering dividing it into two or more smaller scripts that would be produced as separate videos. For example, one script could focus on policies and a different script could focus on how to use the citation tool. I am considering this for three reasons:
- People may be more willing to watch shorter videos that have more specific focus.
- Shorter videos may be easier to search for an answer for a single specific question.
- There is a possibility that if I attempt to produce a single video from almost 21 pages of script that I might exceed the budget for this mini-project. I would like for both WMF and the community to be satisfied with the results from this mini-project, and I think that dividing the script into smaller scripts which could be produced separately would be a good way to ensure that the budget for the current grant is not exceeded. While there is a reasonable possibility that I could finish production of the entire 21 pages of script within the current grant, I think that dividing the script would be prudent. After one of the smaller scripts is fully produced within the currently available funding, remaining script could be considered for production within the current grant if there seems to be adequate remaining funds, or could be saved for possible production with a future grant.
Request for constructive criticism and comments
[edit]I would very much appreciate constructive criticism and comments regarding the script, preferably by March 10 at 11:59 PM UTC. This is a shorter time window than I would like to provide, but the planned end date for this project is March 14 and I would like to finish video production by the end of March 13 so that I have 24 hours for communications before the grant period ends. If you would like to review the script or make other comments but the end of March 10 is too soon for you, please let me know that you need more time, and I will take that into consideration as I plan for final production and consider whether to request a date extension from WMF. (Extending the finish date for the project would not involve requesting additional funding for the current grant.) I would prefer that the video be done perfectly a few days late than that the video be done on March 14 but have an important error that was not caught during a rush to the finish.
I have three specific requests for feedback:
1. Please find errors in the script. This is a great time to find problems with my work, before the script goes into production and problems become more expensive to fix. Please go to this link in Google Docs and use the Comment feature in the Google Doc.
2. Do you have comments regarding whether the script should be divided, and if so, how it should be divided? Please let me know on the project talk page.
3. How do you feel about the name for the video? Do you prefer "Referencing with VisualEditor" or "Citing sources with VisualEditor", or a third option? Again, please comment on the project talk page. However, if I divide the script then I will create new names for the smaller videos.
Closing comments
[edit]Thank you for your interest in this mini-project. I am grateful to be working on a project which I hope will help Wikipedia contributors to be more efficient and effective, and indirectly help to improve Wikipedia's quality by teaching contributors how to identify and to cite reliable sources. I believe that the finished video will be good, and I hope that the community and novice contributors will find the video to be very useful.
Yours in service,
Anna Biller/ Viva
[edit]Since you value Anna Biller's Tweets as encyclopedic material, maybe you should pat attention to this Tweet: https://twitter.com/missannabiller/status/979169332193247232
I think she should know where she was born better than some Hawaii journalist who didn't do their homework.
The link you provided about her doing performance art is not about her - it's about someone else.
I know from IMDB that Vagrant Films Releasing distributed her film Viva in Canada and in the US. And nowhere does it say that she took two years to make her short film because she likes to do everything herself. In fact for all of her films she has had a sizable crew (again check IMDB), although she filled several creative positions herself.
So I would really appreciate it if you would take all of this stuff out and revert to my edits. Thank you very much.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Carnival Honey (talk • contribs) 05:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for writing to me, I was actually in the middle of writing a message to you when I got the notification. That tweet is very helpful, and that is the sort of evidence you need to cite when changing information on Wikipedia.
- Your other points don't have enough evidence, unfortunately. I can't find evidence of anyone else named Anna Biller who was making feminist art in 2003: how do you know it's not the same person? I will quote the article that I read that in: "Slapstick, combined with paradox and camp, is the mainstay of such feminist performance artists as Amy Sedaris, Anna Biller and Ann Magnuson. Pierce would do well to study the work of those pioneering women before continuing her foray into the genre." The other two women mentioned work in film, so it makes sense that this Anna Biller in question also is a performer in films, and therefore the same Anna Biller that directed and acted in Viva. IMDb is not a reliable source when it comes to distribution information (for more info, see Wikipedia:Citing IMDb). I have reliable evidence that she distributed the film by herself: she said so in an interview (listen to this podcast, she says it at 39:50). As you said above, she would know better than some IMDb journalist who didn't do their homework.
- I will admit that the wording of my sentence that she "likes to do everything herself" might be slightly wrong, but she did say something very similar in this interview: "It too about two years to make that movie, but I was learning how to produce and direct as well as to use the equipment and edit as I went along." and also "Although I did go to film school, I never really worked like other students there. I had an art background so I made films more like an artist making work in the studio, preparing sets and costumes for months, and mostly just brought people in for the shooting days and for rehearsals. I’ve watched a lot of films, so a lot of it was copying things I liked from movies, but making it personal. I feel like, for me at least, I need to have a hand in everything to make a film that’s organic and meaningful." I think rewording that sentence might be a good idea, and I'm open to any suggestions you have about how it should be worded instead. Thanks for taking the time to discuss all this, I'm glad there are people like you who are passionate about getting the information correct! I hope that all makes sense, and let me know if you have any questions. --Secundus Zephyrus (talk) 06:23, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Video tutorial "Referencing with VisualEditor" – newsletter issue 2 short version
[edit]Hi! The full version of this newsletter issue has a lot of information. I am sending a short version to talk pages.
The most important information to know is that draft 2 is finished, that the single long script has been divided into many smaller scripts, and that portions of the script have been prioritized for production.
Due to budget constraints, not all scripts can be produced within the scope of the current pilot grant, but the other scripts will remain available for potential future production. (This project feels somewhat like doing a vehicle repair when the mechanic starts to work on the engine, and once the mechanic gets under the engine and starts to work, they discover that accomplishing their objective requires twice as much time as they first had estimated.) However, nothing is lost, so do not fear. Overall, my assessment (me being User:Pine) is that this project is producing a lot of good output and is generally a valuable pilot project.
For more information, including my requests for your feedback, please see the full version of the newsletter.
Thanks very much. --Pine(✉) 23:04, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

I listened to an NPR podcast on Wikipedia from the founder and was inspired to join the community and learn more. I noticed that you were the first to post about the Concrete Cowboys. I am connected to the film and therefore did not want to make any additions as I am biased. I noticed that you also seem to be interested in Philadelphia based topics. I would like to propose that you add the Philadelphia based company Neighborhood Film Company to the list of production companies and have you research the company for addition. I would also like to propose having you research Ricky Staub the writer and director who is Philadelphia based and create a page for him. Thank you for starting the Concrete Cowboys page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Concrete Cowboys (disambiguation)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Concrete Cowboys (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
