Page move of Barry Lyndon article
A user has moved the article from Barry Lyndon to Barry Lyndon (film), and now the former page is a disambig page. A discussion has been started on the article's talk page to request it be moved back to how it was. Your thoughts would be welcomed. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Dispute at Talk:Casablanca (film) needs more input
I believe it would be useful to have more opinions on Talk:Casablanca (film) on the general question of what constitutes WP:UNDUE in terms of criticism of a film, and the specific question of whether Umberto Eco's criticism of Casablanca should be included in the article, and to what extent.
Please see Criticism by Umberto Eco for the discussion so far. The original state of the article is represented by the "Critical reception" section this revision of this revision. This is being rejected as a cut-and-dried violation WP:UNDUE. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 23:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Hello, fellow film fans!
This is to ask for your input on Balalaika, MGM 1939. Though I'm a good editor/copy writer and have been working on it since August (09), this is my first major research project of any description, anywhere. User talk:Nehrams2020 has been kind enough to help me, and I'm hoping you will look the article over; I would really appreciate your comments and suggestions, especially additional free sources of information/photos, to round it off nicely. Thank you, Shir-El too 15:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Adding "Popular pages" to U.S.-related projects
A very interesting tool of the Wikimedia Toolserver is called WikiProject Popular pages lists. These lists are similar to project-related article lists like U. S. article lists used for generating assessment statistics. The Popular pages lists include the rank, total views, average daily views, quality and importance ratings for the listed articles. Here is the full list of projects using popular pages lists. An FAQ also is available at User:Mr.Z-man/Popular pages FAQ.
I recently added links to lists of popular pages as shown below to the U.S. Portal - WikiProjects box and the nominations sections for each of the selected articles boxes.
Portal:United States/Projects/Popular pages
Because this project was not included, I am bringing up the popular pages tool here. This tool makes it very easy to track three of four balancing dimensions when selecting articles for showcasing at a portal - quality, importance and popularity. When tracking the fourth dimension, topic, the related article lists tool (such as for U.S. article lists tool) also might be useful by filtering on categories of interest.
If you do decide to use this tool, feel free to update Portal:United States/Projects/Popular pages as well.

PLEASE READ - ANONYMOUS (STREET MEAT)
Someone keeps removing all relevant information and clarificationon Anonymous (Street Meat) -- why is this happening with such contentiousness? This project is being singled out while, for one examplme, the page for a short like "Saturday Night Live" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Special_(film) read like publicity pages and I'm told that with 3.7 million articles, it cannot be attended to. I don't understand. Is it because "Saturday Night Live" is made by a man? Please let me know. There are precious few message films made by women who are recognized by film festivals or the industry at large.

ANONYMOUS (STREET MEAT)
Dear friends:
The image of the eye was restored (gun image was not) -- all images are available in "anonymous (street meat)" Google images, please, take a look. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/132e812637a7fb8e
However, the file was truncated. Meanwhile, I was interviewed by someone from the Huffington Post yesterday. The interview centered on my inspiration for "anonymous (street meat)" -- a 2-year ordeal with Bank of America. With demonstrations and movements like "Occupy Wall Street" going on against Wall Street and the too-big-to-fail banks, the script for "anonymous (street meat)" was was a metaphor ahead of its time by having a plot that dealt with bank abuse with harrowing images. That's why the film has been well received at festivals abroad -- in Seoul Korea, for one, it was screened in over 14,000 monitors throughout the city. The HP article will link up to "anonymous (street meat)" and it is scheduled for publication on November 1st, or earlier. This sort of coverage is remarkable for a first film by a student while still a student (UCLA third year). "anonymous (street meat)" was finished, complete with sci-fi special effects, on January 21, 2011 - it had been presented before class at the UCLA Bridges Theater on December 8, 2010.
Whether one agrees with "anonymous (street meat)" or not ,and whether one even likes it, this is part of the news and the broader sociatal picture.
Thank you for your support in this endeavor --

WP:NRHP is having a Fall Photo Contest running from Oct. 21-Dec. 4, 2011. I'd like to encourage anybody who enjoys photography, and anybody who is interested in historic places to participate as a photographer, a sponsor, or both.
One way that an individual editor or a project can participate is to sponsor their own challenge. For example, somebody here might want to include a challenge such as "A barnstar will be awarded to the photographer who adds the most photos of previously non-illustrated NRHP sites of movie theaters to the NRHP county lists." To sponsor a challenge all you need to do is come up with an idea, post it on the contest page, and do the small bit of work needed to judge the winner(s).
Any and all contributions appreciated.

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 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 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. This discussion is intended to start the process of determining if the project members are interested in the joint task force being added to the projects supported by WikiProject United States. If have any thoughts, comments or questions, please let me know. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 09:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Improving the Lists of American films
I think the lists like List of American films of 1910 should have a navigation box on the top-right corner, like the page 1910 in film has ( using a template like {{Year nav topic2}} ). And maybe another navigation box at the bottom of the page, like 1910 in film has.
Also, I think sections like 1910 in film#Films released in 1910 should have at the top a message like:

Women's History Month is in March
Hi everyone at WikiProject American cinema!
Women's history month is around the corner, in March, and we're planning the second WikiWomen's History Month.
This event, which is organized by volunteers from the WikiWomen's Collaborative, supports improving coverage about women's history during the month of March. Events take place both offline and online. We are encouraging WikiProjects to focus on women's history related to their subject for the month of March. Ideas include:
- Improving coverage about American women filmmakers, directors, producers, and executives
- Developing content about women owned film businesses
We hope you'll participate! You can list your your project focus here, and also help improve our to-do list. Thank you for all you do for Wikipedia! SarahStierch (talk) 20:39, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Importance ratings
Has this group decided to not give articles importance ratings? and if not, why are some rated by importance? i tried to find how Ronald Reagan is given a high importance rating (im not questioning the rating, only how someone managed to code it as that), and i cant find a banner that includes it in that importance category. there must be something i dont understand. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:49, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Mercurywoodrose. None of the task forces nor the Film project itself gives importance ratings. I'm not sure why not, but we don't. It's not even in our coding. Regarding Ronald Reagan, it appears that he does not even have a Film project banner. You may be referring to the parameter

Discussion to remove the Automatically assessed logic from the WikiProject United States template
Greetings, there is a discussion regarding removal of the logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories from Template:WikiProject United States. Most of the categories (over 220 Wikipedia wide) were deleted in February 2013 because they were empty. These categories were previously populated by a bot that hasn't run since 2011 and the categories aren't used. Removal of this uneeded/unused logic will greatly reduce the size and complexity of the WikiProject United States template. Any comments or questions are encouraged here. Kumioko (talk) 18:35, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- Lest there is any confusion for people who don't speak the same language, the words "logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories" refer to the feature that was supposed to allow this WikiProject's template to "inherit" class and importance ratings from other WikiProjects. Kumioko says that there are no longer any bots performing the function that formerly copied those ratings. --Orlady (talk) 22:55, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These possible copyright violations (plot summaries are common) can be searched by WikiProject categories.

Determining Importance
I think we should set some guidelines for this. We have a problem when The Hangover Part III is rated as mid-importance. Okay. I propose these rules: -We base importance on encylopedic/informational importance. Ie, if you are film school, will they ask you about Star Wars, or will they ask you about Hitchcock? This is too focused on recentivist cultural importance, so classic silents are rated below shitty new movies in importance. In 50 years, what will we think is important? So some principles. Firstly, just because American film is more specific than regular film doesn't mean we should automatically move everything up one in importance from wikiproject film. Things moderately important to film as a whole can also be moderately important to American film. 1. No people should be top-importance. Period. No films should be top-importance. Only articles which talk about defining American cinema as a whole should be top importance. Ie, Cinema of the United States. "Classical Hollywood Cinema". 2. Most "high-importance" articles should be of influential concepts not restricted to a single person or work- Entities like "MGM", and things like "New Hollywood", "Westerns", "film noir". Films included are the kind which were masterpieces and/or pioneering for the medium, those called "the best X ever". "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane", blahblahblah. Very few people are of high importance. Basically just the people mentioned here are of high importance, though they needn't be included in this project as they are well-served by the biography project. In fact, most actors should not be in this project since they aren't the focus of film criticism. But directors like Griffith and Hitchcock are high importance. 3. Mid-importance includes the popular or critically acclaimed actors and directors not listed there, and works such as "Avatar". 4. Low-importance is everything else. --Monochrome_Monitor 20:28, 23 December 2015 (UTC) Your thoughts on this criteria? So, yeah. I don't think I'm changing the importance correctly but right now it's pretty bad. Casablanca was ranked as low-importance. --Monochrome_Monitor 21:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Production of Key Largo
A relatively small matter but, after 9 years, no-one has bothered to address a simple question about this classic movie. Though not a film connoisseur, I have read the article in question and believe it is well below WP standards. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 06:30, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Blade Runner low importance?
This confuses me, it was preserved in the National Film Registry before Eraserhead; and arguably BR has had more influence on American cinema than Casablanca (film). - RoyBoy 22:35, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- I think it is considered low-importance for WikiProject United States in general. There are a lot more U.S. topics that are more important. It may be part of the American Cinema task force, but it's a project rating, not a task-force rating. You can see under WikiProject Film, it is considered part of the core list of films. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 22:51, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, just doesn't seem appropriate in relative to other articles within this project. - RoyBoy 04:28, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- I think you have to consider the scope of WikiProject United States. That would include the U.S. states, the Presidents, key members of Congress, landmarks, all the major historical events, etc. Film is part of it, but I am not sure if Blade Runner rates highly in that scope. I don't think it matters too much as long as it is definitely recognized as a core film by WikiProject Film. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 13:44, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Star Wars at GAR
A GAR was opened up for Star Wars a month ago, and it's starting to garner comments. Lately, the article has been having issues with structure, length, disputes over the best way to summarize the elements. Due to the importance of the article, and some budding disagreement about the best way to address its issues, more eyes would be appreciated. The GAR is at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Star Wars/1. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 19:02, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi
Can someone please take a look and try and find some refs?
I found one I could see, but was getting ECs from a self-appointed reviewer :(
There is not much here in the UK, and MOST of the ref sites I found are US and not available in the UK, so I cannot get refs from them :(

This article recently underwent a fairly major expansion that might need to some fresh eyes to assess. I've removed a big chuck of bio information about the film's producer, but the the plot section was expanded quite a bit and seems a bit overly detailed now. Some of the additions are probably OK, but they still might need some tweaking. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:34, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Importance scale
Hello American cinema task force members. I've recently did a major expansion in the entry for Dog Day Afternoon, and it is currently a Good Article nominee. I couldn't help but notice that the article was classed as "low importance" on the project's scale. It is also the case for Cool Hand Luke, and that Jailhouse Rock was not rated. I am aware that it is the case particularly for this productions because I worked on their GA nominations. Now, I wanted to bring your attention to the fact that all three of them were inducted into the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Shouldn't all the films inducted to the National Film Registry be classified as at least "high importance" regarding American Cinema? I haven't checked the status of the other films on the list, but I do think it is important to make a case for rating all the articles in the list at least as "high importance".--GDuwenHoller! 14:30, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.
