Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCreatives

This project page is under development...

The AfroCreatives WikiProject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African cultural and creative industries, as well as African cultural enthusiasts, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. AfroCreatives WikiProject +film is the inaugural effort of AfroCreatives WikiProject. By mobilizing African film creatives, professionals, experts, and film enthusiasts, ACWP +film aims to measurably enhance information on Wikipedia about the art and industry of African film, including:

The history of African cinema
Biographies of notable African creatives and professionals that span the industry
Notable African movies and television series
African studios, streaming platforms, awards, festivals, guilds, film schools, and other institutions that form the industry ecosystem
Developments in animation, AR, VR, and other technologies shaping the African film industry
Film financing, government policies, skills development, and other key industry issues

New Articles to Create

Want to contribute new articles related to African Film and TV? Start from this automatically-generated list using data from Wikidata of notable subjects that don’t have a Wikipedia entry. You can also explore this curated “red list” of missing articles on industry creatives, professionals, films, TV programs, organizations, and other various topics.
You may add to the list, just make sure the topic meets Wikipedia notability requirements!

Expand stubs

A stub is any article that has only basic information while omitting important aspects of the topic. There is no exact size that defines a stub, but most articles under 250–300 words are considered stubs. Articles with more than 500 words are rarely stubs. You can identify and expand stubs into useful articles by first searching by country.
Note: stubs are often tagged with a stub template at the bottom of the article; when the article is expanded, this template should be removed

Assessment

A priority for AfroCreatives WIkiProject is to encourage not just an increase in the volume of Wikipedia edits, but a continued improvement in the quality of edits. The assessment ratings are a vital measure of the quality of articles in the African film and television category. They are equally useful for ACWP and our community of editors to evaluate and track the progress of individual articles as well as of the category more broadly.

The assessment ratings mentioned here (see below table) have no relationship whatsoever to grading in education or review scores like A/B/C/D/F or other rating systems (10-point scale, 5-star system, etc.) that you might see on homework and product reviews. They represent the amount of work needed to bring the article to the next rating, which depends on both the quality of the writing and the depth of coverage of the topic, which greatly varies by subject.

Note that the differences between Stub, Start, and C classes are fairly subjective; at those ratings, the best way to improve the article is to look at the specific criteria for B-Class and aim to satisfy those. Learn more

The overwhelming majority of African film and TV articles are stubs. ACWP aims for a majority of articles to graduate to a minimum status of Start while always aiming for higher.
