Project news The seventh coordinator election for WikiProject Film has concluded! The election had eight candidates, and based on the election results, the new term's five coordinators are listed below: Erik (talk · contribs) (lead coordinator) MichaelQSchmidt (talk · contribs) Bovineboy2008 (talk · contribs) MikeAllen (talk · contribs) Karthikndr (talk · contribs) WikiProject Film is launching an anniversary collaboration to expand two film articles and get them promoted to featured status, and request their appearances on the main page by their anniversaries in 2012. The two articles are Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Full Metal Jacket (1987). Snow White will have its 75th anniversary on December 21, 2012, and Full Metal Jacket will have its 25th anniversary on June 26, 2012. For now, the focus will be on Full Metal Jacket since its anniversary is more imminent. Please join the discussion here! The discussion for Snow White will likely start in a few months' time. The 2011 update of the Core article list has been completed. Task-force related lists have now been removed, and replaced with the "They Shoot Pictures, Don't They" top 500 films. A collaboration is now ongoing to improve all Core articles Start-class or better—find an article to improve here and join in! WikiProject Film has a set of guidelines for writing film articles.
