Image talk
Hi Wise I enjoyed that article. Good work. I just received about 20 tag message for an invalid rationale even though I have given ten valid points. Does
This morning I had a bot give me about 20 images as invalid. It took up 50kb. I hope I've sorted it.
Could you splice
Thanks wise. Yes I am thinking about standardizing the film rationale templates like the non free rationale box you use. This looks great and professional and shuts up all image taggers for good -I noticed you added one to the Khmer Rouge documentary film which I again had a message for -thanks. What annoys is that they drill me and many others 25 bot messages when they could tell you it once and then give you the titles of the images rather than a 50 kb message. If this can be done by a bot I'm sure taggers can recognize encyclopedic non free content and add a bot rationale itself and do everybody a favour. Actually the images originally even mentioned copywright owned by ITC 1969 and they were still tagged. Randall and Hopkirk is a classic I doubt many people outside the UK have ever seen it. Hey any idea what happened to the Film newsletter for September? (Oh I see we have it now -just a little late)
See
OH yep thats right thanks. User:Riana an admin created the category but didn't get them all but it is a good idea. We have most of them categorized I think.
You'll be very pleased to know I have the packages now to modify images and have learnt the basics but it may take some time to get used to it. Please see

I know I did a trial and error thing and fiddled with sizes but when uploaded them to wikipedia they looked bigger and less clear. Its probably not a good idea to boost the px too much. We can get away with it at 150px but as I didn't have any experience in it I had to see what was best. I actually have two packages Photo Impression 5 (which I've been using) and Paint Shop Pro 7. The great thing is that we can crop some images for film premieres and put them in the release section of the film articles
I uploaded a cropped image with

Thanks -LOL - lets be honest though any picture of her would look fine. She is one fine beauty. There are numerous things on the programmes I have, I'll have to test it out a bit more in the coming days and weeks to see if I could achieve such effects- its supposed to be a good package, my Dell Dimension is pretty up to date. All the best

Film festival task force
Will do. I haven't noticed anyone that's been especially active but then I haven't shopped around much festival article–wise. I'll keep a look out for potential members though. Doctor Sunshine talk 02:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Me again -just seen your proposals. I think it is a good idea I'll support you. I don't think of the national pages as wikiprojects anyway -the task forces were intially pages to organize articles on individual cinemas more effectively which I began with on Argentina -articles which require attention, missing in need of expansion etc. Unfortunately User:Longhair has destroyed the primary
If you look at Category:Australian films you'll see it is no longer Category:Australian films -so finding a film in the A-Z is impossible. Have a look it has been split by genre which is very confusing as many films overlap. It was agreed a while back that the main A-Z categories should remain . Imagine splitting Category:Thai films up entirely! E.g like
- Looks like there is enough support - if you're willing to wait a few hours, I'll start to do the work of creating the pages and template recoding. Congrats, Girolamo Savonarola 17:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'd rather wait and do all the necessary work (including organizing) in one go, if you don't mind. (Just when I get off of work...) Can't help with the bots, though; that's outside of my knowledge bubble... Girolamo Savonarola 18:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Albums and music
Hi Wise you work on albums on wikipedia don't you? I just found some of my old cds from the 90s from the cool British indie group Dodgy and just stubbed some of their albums. Their music was very catchy indeed - reminiscent of the mid to late 1960s. You may have heard the song Good Enough. If you've now got Youtube in Thailand check out In a Room. Another one that cracked me up was the video for Staying out for the summer which featured a flying Volkwagen hippie mobile (Harry Potter style) and a guy flying on a Twister mat!! Well I've seen many ogg files of 30 second clips begin to appear on wikipedia and I was wondering if you know how to save clips and upload them and what the copywright issues are surrounding them. Ideally I'd like to upload three or four files of the bands greatest songs and upload to others to.
I've also kind of adopted the non free rationale type template you use and have put in my film rationale and have been copying and pasting it into new articles like
Thanks yes I did think about trying to convert it to template but the mechanics of it got the better of me in the end although I almost made it!!!! I spoke to Videmus who as you know does a lot of work with images and tagging and he thought it was good also. Really I would like to see a standard template like that for all articles and it makes us look more consistent and would save people trouble at a later date. It is also very easy to copy and paste it in and adjust the title or dvd/screenshot as appropriate.
I'm glad you like Dodgy -they are very much like The Who who happen to be one of my favourite bands cool 60s sound.- I'm also very relieved for you that the country has now let Youtube back. Myanmar (or is it Burma now whats happening with that?) would never dream of letting it in I'd imagine. I'll have to try to see what I can upload - reading some of The Beatles articles whilst playing the clips makes a major difference and puts wikipedia on a new level. The best thing I'd imagine is to try to contact some people you have uploaded ogg files and ask them for tips.
All the best and thanks

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Thai TV
Wise I've begun drawing up a template for television series by country at
Or does TV not interest you?
Ah I see I just thought as you had the Thai language tag on your user page you understood it, but I vaguely remember you saying you can barely speak it. I don't watch much TV anymore either, the only times i turn on the TV really is to watch either films on cable or dvds. I think I'll develop it gradually - I'm just all for even coverage. Saludos.

Hi Wisekwai, The Emmylou Harris discography talk page is waiting for your opinion on a few issues. It seems you, Rivertorch and I are doing all the work. So I don't want to jump without your input.
Hi again Wisekwai, Please weigh in on the Music Charts question on the discography talk page. I'm going for a consensus on peak weeks and need help.

Indonesian film
You're probably not interested but as you said you were involved with Asian films check out my latest work on
p.s is there some kind od category for
OK thanks. Yes as you know I've done a fair bit of work on Filipino films but when I have time I will be gradually developing Indonesian cinema a bit as it too seems far too underdeveloped. I'll try to get all the notable films into the lists and aim to start some of the articles. How are you these days are you still working on Thai film?
- I know that you had proposed a Thai cinema task force, but maybe it would be easier if it were a Southeast Asian cinema task force instead? It would be more inclusive and consolidated, instead of making many small task forces for countries with small to medium-sized industries. Thoughts? Girolamo Savonarola 05:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
This is a good idea. I wanted it to include more than Thailand which Wise works on as i do some work on Filipino, Indonesian films also. I also want to whip some of the more notable Malaysian films into shape some time . It would also include Singapore, Vietnam and Cmabodia I take it
Yes I gathered you are very busy - ah thats life isn't it. I'm quite enjoying filling in Indonesian cinema some of the films particularly the horror films look good. There is something about South East Asian horror films that appeal to me - I enjoyed some of the Thai horror articles also -a shame I can't see the full films. I've been pretty busy today filling in articles like
- Just wanted to remind you that Council proposals also have a section for task forces (as opposed to projects). I've moved SE Asian cinema there. Girolamo Savonarola 13:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Whats the developments on this? I am also proposing to merge the Argentine task force into a Latin cinema task force to include Brazilian and Mexican film which I am recently working on and to merge in Spain, and Portugal. Also it has been brought to my attention the contibutions of User:Ekyaw who seems to be doing some loose stubs on Burmese actors. I deleted the Category:List of male actors from Myanmar just now - if you could check his editing from time to time this would help.
I've created
Yes I also think it is exciting that somebody who appears to actually be from Burma can add his knowledge to a grossly underdeveloped area. I was a little surprised though that the task force needed a council proposal. Remember I only originally started the Argentine cinema task force page as a work page to highlight articles that need expanding, wikifying, creating etc for that industry. I didn't think or expect them to be considered as a formal task force or even a minor wiki project. For me it is all about organization and using it as a work page rather than a project
OK I've put the first Burmese film onto wikipedia
Perhaps you want to create a burmese film icon for the
OK yes I'm fully aware of the huge inadequacy of available info on Burmas films online. I am hoping that education and resources will improve enough in Burma to allow people to learn better english and have access to wikipedia and the web where people within the country who have a personal knowledge of the films can contribute. I imagine under the current regime this is impossible. Like Cambodia Burma appears to have had a very notable cinematic past but because of the political problems that have tormented these countrues it has ruined it or concealed it to the world . I figured there should be limited info available to start at least one or two. This is better than nothing I think
Luckily Malaysian film has developed considerably since I last checked over six months ago. A few of them are even stub or B class. There is less work to be done on them than I thought although we are still missing a lot of notable titles. Soon enough we should have the basics of South Asian cinema under control , it is the Philippines for me that is missing the most in terms of content
Yes from the ten minute clips I've seen of some Filpino films particularly of the 70s and 80s I have been very impressed with the atmosphere of them -themes of exploitation and social issues and a high degree of melodrama -some of them very artistically contructed. One film I saw I was deeply moved by - which has only enhanced my interest in South-East Asian film. If these countries had better financial resources dedicated to film I am certain we'd see some greater films. That Filipino director sounds interesting - I'd imagine that was at the Bangkok Film Festival was it? I'd love the chance to talk to a film director like that. Quentin Tarrantino is onto something there, for me talents can be seen across world film in different eras, in the western world the majority of us are far too narrow minded. For me there are indeed elements of certain world films that Hollywood could think about, however much it dominates world film
