The
Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for British cinema
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

I added an article stub for this company, but a notability tag was added. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to argue either way. Does anyone else have a view? Folks at 137 (talk) 12:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- It may be worth looking at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) to find out. It's useful to look for secondary sources that cover this company and include it in the article, either directly or as a reference for readers to utilize. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 04:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Slumdog Millionaire
Hello, I am working on Slumdog Millionaire, an upcoming film that has done well in a few film festivals and is gathering buzz as an awards contender. The director and the production companies of this film are British, so if anyone is interested in helping with this article, any contributions would be greatly appreciated. —Erik (talk • contrib) 20:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about
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.

Time for British films of 2011 article?
There is a
Pageview stats
After a recent request, I added WikiProject Film/British cinema task force to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/British cinema task force/Popular pages.
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 21:42, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Pelican Blood
I've just done a little work on Pelican Blood, which "is supported by the British cinema task force" according to the tag on the talk page. Your first task here might be to find out whether it really is a British film, as per the article's creator, or a New Zealand film with some British cast members, as per the IMDB. I've gone with NZ on the info-box and categories (I hope I haven't urinated on your French fries). TheMadBaron (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, TheMadBaron. This says, "Films in the running for the Michael Powell Award for best new British feature film include Pelican Blood, from Ecosse Films, which explores the theme of youth suicide in the world of passionate bird-watchers." So there appears to be British involvement, which is enough to warrant the task force. It does not really matter, though; the task forces tend to be inactive. The real action is the main forum at ]
- Thanks for that. Ecosse is most definitely British - I've edited accordingly. The mighty IMDB is wrong. Again. TheMadBaron (talk) 22:31, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Women's History Month is in March
Hi everyone at WikiProject British 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 British women filmmakers, directors, producers, and executives
- Developing content about women owned British film businesses
We hope you'll participate! You can list your your project focus
Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the

I've started a talk-page discussion on the relevance (or not) of two images added to the article. Opinions sought. Softlavender (talk) 03:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Notice to participants at this page about adminship
Many participants here create a lot of content, have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the skills considered at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:
You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.
Many thanks and best wishes,

Popular pages report
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/British cinema task force/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Film.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
- The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
- The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
- The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Film, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
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)
