Singpost Report: WikiProject Film

t: "It takes a lot of work to truly research a film," says Erik, a member of WikiProject Film. Check out his interview: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

Would tweak slightly because he's not the only interviewee, otherwise great "It takes a lot of work to truly research a film" says Erik, a member of WikiProject Film. Check out this interview:

t: Lights, Camera, Action - Edit! Check our interview with WikiProject Film:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

Like the pun, but we should give the Signpost credit where it's due. Suggest:

Lights, Camera, Action - Edit! Check the @wikisignpost interview with WikiProject Film:

t: "If you make a film article, you are basically making that web page the best place anywhere to read about a film":

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

Would work if tweeted from @wikipedia, otherwise I fear the relation to Wikipedia might be a bit cryptic.

t: So, who manages quality on all those movie articles, anyways? Meet WikiProject Film:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

Looks OK, but is it "anyway" or "anyways"?

t: Passionate about film? Want to edit? Great! Learn more about WikiProject Film!:

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

Would remove the colon at the end, otherwise OK.

I like the first two of these suggested tweets (research/lights) best, but they all seem postable, with the suggested tweets.

f/g: "Once in a while, a filmmaker will try to create an article about their film. We editors who have to explain the notability guidelines, and it's rare to convert the filmmaker into an editor since their goal on Wikipedia was to have their article for the film," says one of the members of WikiProject Film, one of the largest projects on Wikipedia. Check out the Signpost's interview with them: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

COI editing is not the central theme of the interview, but the message could still work (try to link the Signpost's page on FB).

f/g: "Above everything, though, the end goal is to make Wikipedia’s content better." Read an interview with five editors from WikiProject Film and see what it takes to edit the 100+ history of cinema. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/08/signpost-report-wikiproject-film/

I guess this should read "100+ year history". Otherwise OK.
