WP:HORROR
Unfortunate that it has died again, especially since it's supposed to cover all horror but we only seem to be getting people who work on film articles. I wouldn't "close" it, because if someone comes there to ask a question I'd like for people to be able to keep the page on their watchlist to answer those questions. I'd also like for us to at least keep the page up-to-date as far as where our articles are. I don't think we'll have the manpower or interest to do much more than that (e.g., probably won't have taskforces doing any more work on articles anymore).

 * If the project itself is not active, I don't think we need to worry about that position. It'll probably just be more up to anyone still watching the page to pick up the slack here and there. Unless you want to take on the role. I've been so busy in my real life that I haven't had time to really think about the project. I largely neglect my own articles and just do basic clean ups.

 * Be my guest. I had to actually go check to see if it was on my watchlist still because it's been so inactive. LOL.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)


 * If someone has questions, I'd be happy to answer. But I probably don't have time to do much else. I was only their as a temporary thing anyway, while the official elections were taking place.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  18:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

TCM
The page looks good, the only real issue is with the reception section. It still misleading. It discusses the film from a historical standpoint (i.e. from the perspective of when it was released originally), but to justify critical response it still uses revies from the past 10 years. The film is almost 40 years old. The first part needs to use reviews from the 70s, because they are closer to the accurate opinion of critics of that time. Later, the newer reviews should come, and it should be clear that those reviews are based on a more modern day opinion. If I was reading the reception section, I would have thought that David Kehr wrote the review of TCM back in the 1970s. But based on this page, he wrote it 2002. I cannot find the Steve Crum review (it doesn't show up--which means you probably won't be able to use it), but he wrote it in 2006 and you're using it when comparing to the opinion of 1975. Bruce Westbrook wrote his in 1992. A little older, but still not the same set of opinions that were around in the 70s. The section just needs to be rearranged and clarified when something is from the past and when something is from today. And todays reviews and yesterdays reviews shouldn't really be co-existing in the same paragraph because it creates a false reflection of opinions.

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
