[edit] External Links

Due to the fact that I have a vested interested in the links section (i.e. the "TheGATE.ca" link is to my website) I feel someone else should deal with this down the road, but I've noticed a number of IPs logging in and adding links to useless sites or else reordering the list of links for no good reason.

In my opinion there are lots of links that would be helpful for this article, but I'm thinking there are a lot popping up right now just to take advantage of the next festival. Please watch for this if you can folks. --The GATEKeeper 02:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of TIFF awarded films

Please, help create a complete list of TIFF awarded films (or TIFF awards in general). Hoverfish 07:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Originally I had got the idea that there was some bias in WikiProject Films and only Academy and Golden Globe were favored. Within other, I've been trying to update several lists and general articles where film awards are mentioned, to include all important festivals. This would definitely raise the quality and user-friendliness of these general and often visited articles and lists. The only problem is that when one clicks, for example, on Palm d'Or awarded film articles, few of the awarded films are above class stub and many are red links, so the user will probably think that all these awards are not really important or interesting and the effect will be to strengthen further the importance of the Academy and Golden Globe. I think in each award a clear point about its evaluation criteria should be centrally made and the articles on films that won each year's award should reflect this. Some priority should be given to develop awarded films into at least class Start articles. Hoverfish 13:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
