Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Golden Hollywood Contest


 * This is currently postponed until there is more active support from people who are going to produce for this. I had hoped there would be more interest/support in this from the WP:Film veteran editors.

  The Golden Hollywood Contest (1927-1963) {| cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color:#C5B358; border: 0; height: 1%;" This is a planned contest/editathon to be held for American cinema between 1927 and 1963, the so-called "Golden Hollywood" period of Classical American cinema. The focus will be on quality, improving core articles on actors, directors, films and related content and fleshing out stubs/start class articles and cleanup on articles which perhaps should be a lot better than they currently are. It's still in its infancy and unsure of when it would be held as I might be busy with other things, possibly December/Christmas time, but if you would be interested in participating and see potential in this we can get the ball rolling as soon as possible. I think it's an area which could potentially generate a lot of interest and something which could be run fairly regularly, though I may not always be the one to judge it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Editors interested
Sign up here if you think you might be interested in participating in the contest/editathon, helping draw up the framework for this or just support the idea. I need to see a show of hands to decide whether or not this would be worth pursuing or not!:

 * 3) TrueHeartSusie3 (talk) 18:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)TrueHeartSusie3
 * 4) Support the concept. My editing (as ever) would be as a wikignome rather then attempting to amass points - so many others are better at things like that :-) MarnetteD&#124;Talk 20:33, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 5)  JAG  UAR   11:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Support the concept although I'm not a huge contributor to the Hollywood "golden age" articles other than GWTW. My energies are more focused on various lists, templates and British/American New Waves. Betty Logan (talk) 19:08, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) I offer my support for the idea but would not be joining in on any contest or equivalent. — Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh &#124; Buzzard &#124;  10:59, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) I'll be beyond the Star Trek work for the 50th by then, besides which - there would be some crossover between the two anyway so some of the source materials I have from the 1960s may actually be of use. I'll see if I can sort out the Jeffrey Hunter bio at least. Miyagawa (talk) 11:50, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Hey, and this one I live in the right place for, for a change. :) Penny Richards (talk) 13:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) Very cool! --Rosiestep (talk) 14:10, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 11) I would have a primary interest in wikignoming, but also have interest in westerns and old sci-fi, neither of which might be technically "classic," also interested in certain historic epic-type films such as the old Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia-type stuff. Yeah, OK, if something whinnies... or has a rocket ship... (and would prefer to avoid drama, Dr. B, so don't fret).  Montanabw (talk) 17:50, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 12) Adding my name in support of the initiative but I'm mostly inactive these days. Hope it goes ahead -- Loeba  (talk) 18:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
