I'm so sorry for late reply. I being a one of the coordinator of WikiProject Film, would like to know in what way I can help you all. I will be happy to do that. :)Can you guys just let me know the tasks that require my attention. It will also be great if any one lend me a helping hand at-least in the beginning. Thank you!
2012/2/19 Ashwin Baindur <ashwin.baindur@gmail.com>A chance find of this page reveals the most popular Wikipedia pages for December 2010 :
http://stats.grok.se/en/top
Of the top 1000 (including functional pages not containing information) WikiProject India had six :
#39 [[India]] (Featured article, Top Importance)
# 336 [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]] (B Class, Top Importance ) (History & Politics TFs)
#375 [[Indian classical dance]] (Start class, High Importance)
#542 [[Shahrukh Khan]] (B Class, Mid Importance ) (Delhi, Cinema & Television TFs)
#648 [[Bollywood films of 2010]] (List Class, Mid Importance) (Cinema TF)
#757 [[Sachin Tendulkar]] (B Class, High Importance ) (Maharashtra & Mumbai TFs)
#765 [[Katrina Kaif]] (C Class, Low Importance) (Cinema TF)
I have excluded [[Nicki Minaj]] and [[Freddie Mercury]] from this list. It takes a real stretch of imagination to add [[Nicki Minaj]] to the WikiProject. Freddie Mercury is already under the WikiProject. I think that there are people other than Indians enough to bother about these two articles.
A few remarks:
* Where can one find the top 100 articles in term of page views? It can be argued that these are the most valuable real estate we have. It would be very useful to be able to know and improve these articles.
* Can any one point us to an existing tool for this?
* Alternatively, can any one set up a tool page for this.
* For some reason [[Indian classical dance]] is very valuable. We really need to bring it upto B Class standards at the earliest. After [[Dance in India]]. thi should be the next project for all editors interested in song & dance.
* The analogue of [[Bollywood films of 2010]] is [[Bollywood films of 2012]]. This years list has already been viewed 2,44,217 times in the last 30 days.
*We need to revive Task Force Indian Cinema. Bollywood & associated film industries are not only extremely popular topics to our people, but also to our diaspora. Even more importantly, talking like a soldier, Indian Cinema is one of the most powerful mechanisms of soft power extended by our nation.Our adversaries would pay billions of dollars to be able to get that kind of influence. No question, Indian Cinema on English Wikipedia needs loads of attention.
* Articles on major stars will always be high on India page-view lists and probably draw more page views than the top ten articles on most lists. These need to be developed well for that reason.
* May I request someone interested in Bollywood to please recruit new users who are already editing Indian cinema articles; I am sure there are at least a hundred newbies out there if not more and entice them to WikiProject Indian Cinema?
* User:Karthikndr is the coordinator there and we have many capable participants including admins such as Utcursch, Sir Nick, & Gurubrahma.
* We need a monthly report on this list & on India Noticeboard on the activity in Indian Cinema to interest us & keep us involved. Karthik Nadar, can you please oblige?
Note: Task Force Indian Cinema is actually the Indian Cinema Task Force for WikiProject Films and is a joint task force alongwith WikiProject India.
