Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Outreach

The outreach department of WikiProject Film is a centralized work area for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The major programs currently underway are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project; further ideas are always welcome, of course!

Unregistered users
Members of WikiProject Film are encouraged to invite unregistered users to register accounts on Wikipedia. Members can invite unregistered users by going to their user talk pages and pasting  there. Please review unregistered users' contribution history to see if they have made a series of valid contributions to ensure that they are not dynamic IP addresses who may miss the invitation due to having a different IP address the next time they edit. Unregistered users who participate in talk page discussions should be especially invited as they are likely to be more responsive to invitations. Below are two links for identifying unregistered users:


 * Unregistered users editing film articles
 * Unregistered users commenting on film articles' talk pages

Inviting potential members
Members of WikiProject Film are encouraged to invite registered editors to join the WikiProject. Please extend the invitation to editors who have made contributions to film-related articles or have participated in discussions about film-related topics. They can be invited by pasting  on their talk page. The template will automatically create a section heading.


 * Registered editors contributing to film articles
 * Registered editors commenting on film articles' talk pages

The template is displayed below. See Template:WPFILM Invite/doc for further instructions on usage.

Welcoming new members
New members of WikiProject Film can be identified when they add themselves to WikiProject Film/Participants/Active, so please watchlist the page and welcome the new members. Below is a template that a new member can receive to learn about the different resources that WikiProject Film can offer. On their user talk page, paste.

Next issue

 * January 2012

Instructions
Instructions for creating and developing the newsletter can be found here.

Delivery options
By default, we will provide a link to the current issue of the newsletter on your talk page when it comes out. If you would prefer, you may choose to have the contents delivered to you directly (in other words, to have the full newsletter added to your talk page), or to not receive the newsletter in any form.

If you are not a member of the project but would like a copy of the newsletter, for whatever reason, you may add you name here as well.
