[edit] List of films by letter

Thanks for adding films to the list of films by letter. However, when adding films, please ignore adding films with a "The" article at the end of the title. The rest of the titles in all of the lists are all listed by the second capitalized word in the title of the film. You can just go ahead and add it as the title is written. You can see more guidelines for adding films on the lists' talk pages. But thanks again for adding films, we need all the help we can get to update them. --Nehrams2020 22:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emmerdale Changes

I have noticed you have taken an interest in improving Emmerdale's articles. It's great to see others who are showing a keen interest to get Emmerdale up to the same sort of standard as Eastenders, for example. Could I ask that when you tag article talk pages for ratings, you also amend the Assessment Scale of such articles accordingly. If anything, to keep an accurate track of which articles are more needy for improvement and expansion to help others contribute. Again great work and hopefully we are on track to getting Emmerdale up to the right standard! Bungle44 15:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed that there was an Assessment Scale for Emmerdale articles, I have been tagging pages but have also created the pages for the categories so for example we now have pages such as Category:Stub-Class Emmerdale articles which allow us to see all of the stub class entries for example. Do you think it is much easier to see the position if we have a separate assessment scale page? I will contine to tag articles for now, and can then always use these category pages to update the assessment scale in one big update once I am finished. The only issue I see with this is keeping it up to date when people who are not working with the project change the assessment whereas the category pages will automatically update themselves. --Amxitsa 15:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Most Wikiprojects I have seen operate a similar sort of system, whereby contributers can add to a list tagged articles, with brief summaries of what may need to be done in order to keep the project's articles to a good standard (for example, the Video Games Wikiproject use an assessment page which can be found here, as well as categories for keeping track of articles within the wikiproject scope). I understand what you are saying about one big update, and maybe that will be the best idea, but dependant upon how long it'll be until every article has it's own tagged rating. One thing about the Assessment scale is the ability to have all article ratings consolidated into a single location, as opposed to being scattered across multiple categories; although of course as you mentioned, that does rely upon regular updates.

[edit] French films

THanks for starting the french films I would love to get all the notable films written in the lists and articles on them!!! Are you interested? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 19:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Great idea!! There are sooooo many missing films!!All the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 15:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I was in the middle of compiling the entire list io fmissing filsm at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing French Films but I only got to M before being sidetract I think. Feel free to use it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 15:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing French Films:A-B have been wikified already ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 15:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from me too for helping out in the lists. I got curious about the wiki specific link you have in your page. Is it part of Wikipedia? Are there more such specific websites? Hoverfish Talk 19:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to the list. That's what I was looking for. Very interesting! Hoverfish Talk 21:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Wild Idea

I realize it's an older edit, but you don't need to made cast lists into tables. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines calls for a simple list as you had it the first time. Thanks for the hard work! SkierRMH 01:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it would be better we all agree about this and we use the simple *[[Actor]] as "Role" listing. As for your work, it's amazing! Hoverfish Talk 19:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I had been experimenting with the tables since looking at pages like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) but most of the films do already seem set up as a simple list. Most of the films I am working on at the minute don't have cast lists but I will put them as ordinary lists when they do to try and keep some consistency between pages --Amxitsa 09:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
There's been a bit of a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines, doesn't seem to be much opposition about putting the 'no tables' into the section on cast, but I've been waiting a bit before actually making the change. There's additional rationale about the reasons not to do this that I hadn't thought of! SkierRMH 16:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
