- Project news
- Happy new year! This is the month to make your New Year's resolutions, and you can always have one or two related to Wikipedia! As 2009 has now ended with great progress for our project with many new FA/GAs, members, articles, and departments, we must now look forward to a new year full of great potential! Consider branching out to new areas such as joining in on more discussions, improving articles to higher levels, participating in drives and contests, and recruiting new members who may be interested in helping our project.
- The Tag & Assess drive has completed another month. There are over 50,000 articles that need to be reviewed. We have already assessed over 6,600 articles! This will take a project-wide effort to complete, and it will be helpful if you complete even just one range. Some articles take a few seconds to complete, and you can always pick up where you left off if you want to work on other projects. With many awards available, you can review whatever ranges you feel comfortable with. Instructions can be found on the drive's page.
- At the beginning of 2009, we had over 50,000 articles. Our project currently has over 62,700 film-related articles, with 59,000 that have been assessed by our assessment department! Remember to always add the
{{Film|class=}} template to a film article's talk page so the project can get a better idea of what work still needs to be done. Below is a table showing a breakdown of our articles by class.
- Based on views, the top five most popular articles from our project this month were: Avatar (2009 film) (with over 4.8 million views!), Inglourious Basterds, Iron Man 2, New Moon (2009 film), and Sherlock Holmes (2009 film). For a list of our project's top 1,000 most popular articles, see here. Consider improving one of these articles that is seen by thousands of people each month.
- V for Vendetta is currently at FAR. Please help the article maintain its FA status by weighing in.
- Spotlight Update: Multiple films and film-related articles have reached GA and FA status in December 2009.

- From the coordinators
Happy New Year to all! I shall take this opportunity to reflect upon the past year. In 2009 our project grew impressively, adding nearly 100 new featured articles and doubling the total number of featured lists. Overall the total number of articles within our scope surpassed 95,000 in 2009, and if these numbers hold steady we will surpass 100,000 articles in 2010. Thank you all for your outstanding efforts.We are currently working on several proposals to improve the project for 2010. These include bringing the Milhist Academy up to full operational status, as well as spicing up and streamlining the task force structure. Also, any help you can offer to clear the current backlog of Military History good article nominations would be appreciated.

Hi, The bidding process to select the location for Wikimania 2011 has begun and new cities can be listed until February 8; I'm wondering if we could try Bangalore or any other Indian city this time?
