Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Australian cinema task force

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.

Philippe Mora, an Australian director, is an unreferenced living person (BLP), so it will probably be deleted if it is not referenced. I have no interest in this subject. While you are waiting for the Wolterbot, could someone please reference it? Thank you.

List of cleanup articles for your project

I am heartened by this message on this project's page: "A cleanup listing for this task force is available, updated by WolterBot."

In case some editors are members of other projects, and may want to add this to their project, let me explain what WolterBot does.

Cleanup listings is a list of cleanup articles for each wikiproject on one designated page. A bot then collects all relevant tagged unreferenced biographies of living people, plus other lists onto one page in the wikiproject. This bot is updated regularly. As the page states: "Approximately 27% of all Wikipedia articles are flagged for cleanup. To deal with this enormous backlog, it seems reasonable to involve the topical WikiProjects in the cleanup process."

Adding this bot is very easy to add to a project: simply add a template to a new or existing page of the project.

The 616 projects which already have this cleanup listing and use this bot are here an example is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject London/Cleanup listing.

Hi everyone at WikiProject Australian 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 Australian women filmmakers, directors, producers, and executives
• Developing content about women owned Australian film businesses

We hope you'll participate! You can list your your project focus

Our first Australian conference for Wikipedians/Wikimedians will be held 3-5 October 2015. Organised by Wikimedia Australia, there will be a 2-day conference (Saturday 3 October and Sunday 4 October) with an optional 3rd day (Monday 5 October) for specialist topics (unconference discussions, training sessions, etc). The venue is the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane. So put those dates in your diary! Note: Monday is a public holiday is some states but not others. Read about it here: WikiConference Australia 2015

As part of that page, there are now sections for you to:

• indicate your interest in possibly attending the conference (this is not a binding commitment, of course)
• add suggestions for topics to include in the conference: what you would like to hear/discuss (again, there is no commit to you presenting/organising that topic, although it’s great if you are willing to do so), or indicate your enthusiasm for any existing topic on the list by adding a note of support underneath it

It would really help our planning if you could let us know about possible attendance and the kind of topics that would make you want to come. If you don’t want to express your views on-wiki, please email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

We are hoping to have travel subsidies available to assist active Australasian Wikipedians to attend the conference, although we are not currently in a position to provide details, but be assured we are doing everything we can to make it possible for active Australian Wikipedians to come to the conference.

Folks, just letting you know we will not be proceeding with Wikiconference Australia 2015 originally proposed for 3-5 October 2015. Thanks to those of you who expressed your support. You are free to attend the football finals instead :-) Kerry (talk) 07:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Opinions are needed on the following matter:

Hi guys. I'm currently working on improving the article for the Australian film Isabelle Eberhardt (film). The film was not popular, and accordingly was never given a home media release. There appears to be no way to purchase a copy of the film today. As i've never seen the film, as of yet I cannot write a full plot for it. The articles current, partial plot has been extrapolated from critical reviews of the film, which unfortunately do not give any indication of how the film ends.

I have no knowledge of any efforts within Australia to archive films. Does anyone know of any place that may have a copy of this film? It is my understanding that the National Library keeps a copy of everything published in print in Australia. Is a similar collection of screened material kept anywhere? Or does anyone have any suggestions for how I could go about viewing this film?

The film was available, for a time, on

I've since managed to track down a copy of this film, but if anyone knows if there are any efforts to archive films in Australia I'd still be interested in hearing about it.

Australia has a National Film and Sound Archive. That would be a good place to start. Kerry (talk) 11:39, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
