Project News

• Our project now has just under 42,000 film-related articles that have been assessed by our assessment department! Remember to always add the {{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. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class and importance.
• Do you know of an article that is assessed at a class below what you think it should be? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's request for assessment. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.
• A new task force was created recently: A Japanese films task force. The task forces currently needs new members to help with expansion. If you would like to help, please sign up on the task force's page.
• If you know of an article that has reached GA status or you think could become a FA, consider taking your article to the project's A-class review department to see if it qualifies for a higher class. The process is a great way to improve the quality of your article and provides a stepping stone before heading to FAC.
• There are currently two articles in Featured Article Review, that would benefit from your comments:Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Please stop by and help these articles keep their featured status.
• Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in May 2008.
