Since I'm not getting the idea of this task force, it makes no sense to create a task force based on a country that existed 20 years ago. If that's a pattern, should there be a task force "post-colonial British cinema" that would include cinema of India? Cinema should be categorized by different languages/cultures and in that sense the project should be renamed WikiProject Films/Russian and it should include movies made in Russian only!--

PS. Including for example Baltic states in a "post soviet Cinema" category doesn't make any sense since the film-making tradition in those independent countries with distinct languages and cultures predates the soviet takeover in 1940.--

Hi
Girolamo Savonarola The reverts were noticed. First of all, since you have mentioned wikiprojects Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc. on the task force's page, please notify all relevant wikiprojcets to get a broader take on the issues and see what people think. After all, it might be just me who feels the way the task force has been attempted to put together is a bit, sorry but just weird.
Now to the business:
From a film history perspective any country has been influenced by the Soviet cinema, starting with the Kuleshov Experiment up to implementing the editing techniques by Eisenstein. The former Soviet Republics have nothing more in common than during the Soviet era, after Stalin's death national filmmaking was made possible (after a brake since 1940 due to the Soviet takover) by financing and censoring it centrally from Moscow. To suggest that this created a bond between different cultures and their cinema simply has no bases whatsoever.
All for now, the bottom line, I think you should get some input and feedback from respective wikiprojects, Thanks!-- Termer ( talk) 00:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
It might be me but for some reason I haven't noticed and still can't see anything about "Soviet and post-Soviet cinema task force" on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Estonia, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Latvia, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lithuania? Perhaps it's time to re notify, it might have got lost in archives during summer holidays. In case the German task force would be called "Nazi post-Nazi task force" and include insignia of the totalitarian regime, that would be offensive indeed exactly like the current Soviet post-Soviet is. And what has this to do with associating Estonia with Russia? Exactly like what would Balkan, a region in Europe has to do with countries under the discussion that spread over 2 different continents? Sorry but we're not communicating too well. I'd put it on rest for now and hold up with any suggestions until there is more input from more, like you've put it: "post-soviet" wikiprojects.-- Termer ( talk) 02:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
The Post-Soviet states article doesn't cite any direct references and sources to the subject and it should be common knowledge that in fact the term is just a political claptrap that was used by talking heads on TV after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's been 20 years ever since. I don't have any better ideas at the moment since I don't understand like I hope I've explained, why would anybody put together such different cultures based on a transcontinental Soviet state that existed 20 years ago. Lets see if there is any interest at all to the subject and if anybody else has any different takes on the issues and then, lets take it from there-- Termer ( talk) 03:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I understand the rationale for "post-Soviet" cinema, but there has to be a point in time when it is no longer "post-soviet". In the case of the Baltic states, that period ended in 1996, when the decline of cinema reached rock bottom with zero films produced in that year. In Estonia, 1997 marked the birth of a new era with the formation of the Estonian Film Foundation and the subsequent arrival of a new generation of film makers. "Post-Soviet cinema" implies certain stylistic/cinematic themes that were common across all the former Soviet republics, however this is no longer the case, and as it stands it is rather misleading. So while keeping the title, I would remove all the categories and wikiprojects mentioned in this project and keep only WikiProject Soviet Union and Category:Cinema of the Soviet Union Martintg ( talk) 08:41, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
It's most likely me, because of my "nationalist bias", (after all, I'm a professional filmmaker (production artist) originally coming from the area), once again I miss to see how is this a regional and historical grouping? This grouping in fact is a political one since the name is politically predefined and for example dismisses the regional and historical pre-Soviet cinema not only regards the Baltic states first period of independence but also for example
Cinema of the Russian Empire. Well, it's just seems its more convenient to keep these cinemas all together for now for WP task force purposes. Fine but in that sense the naming of the grouping should be more considerate and according to the facts and status quo: for example something like
Commonwealth of Independent States and
Baltic states cinema.That would cover all "pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet" periods of these countries including the most significant:
Cinema of Russia--

I've removed WikiProject Estonia from this taskforce, it's claimed this film taskforce is a "joint taskforce" run between the national WikiProjects and WikiProject Films, but I see no evidence of this, since the concerns of the members of Wikiproject Estonia are being contested rather then be taken on board.

Soviet cinema task force has existed thus far and should exist in the future, that's not a part of the discussion. It's about "post-soviet" , 20 years after it should be a good time to move on. Or else following the pattern, should we create a Post-colonial British Cinema task force and include Canada in it? -- Termer ( talk) 20:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Here's the latest proposal based on what seems to be most feasible (IMHO), and my reasoning
The Baltic cinema task force should be announced properly on every relevant national wiki project that such a task force has been proposed and clearly pointed out how and where exactly can you sign up for it.
Also, it wouldn't hurt if other national wiki projects starting with WikiProject Azerbaijan to Uzbekistan etc, would be notified one by one that they are included in this "post-soviet" task force and the discussion here. We are deciding things regarding the CIS without consulting the relevant wiki projects that are listed in the task force. Currently at least I'm not able to spot any notices on these national wikiprojects (with an exception of WikiProject_Russia). If the goal is to draw attention to cinema related articles and get some work done, all the listed national wikiprojects should be notified.--

It might be me since I've worked the most of my career about 12 years for Nordisk Film in Copenhagen Denmark and therefore professionally I'd be closest to a Nordic cinema task force. Also culturally Finland and Estonia especially in the sense of cinema are closest to each other. Priit Pärn an Estonian animation director has been busy starting up the animation tradition in Finland where he has been teaching at the Arts Academy of Turku since 1994. Theodor Luts had perhaps more successful career in fimlmmaking in Finland than Estonia in the 1930's. Estonians and Finns speak languages that they can both understand. The Nordic Baltic Film Fund founded by Egmont (media group) is the major investor in the Nordic-Baltic film industry nowadays that has also started up the Baltic film school in Tallinn Estonia. [6] So it might be me since I've worked on both sides of the Baltic sea and am familiar with both film industries, it would make sense to make a Nordic Baltic task force unless anybody objects.-- Termer ( talk) 05:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
The proposal makes sense, but the only problem I see is whether there are enough editors to sustian it. This is why I liked the idea of a combined taskforce. Personally I'd have accepted a single Russian taskforce from the 1890s to present. Out of all I'd be more interested in a Nordic task force though. However the problem with seperate nordic and baltic is that Finnish and Estonian cinema are indeed more related than Finland and Norway for example but overall Scandinavian cinema seems to have some form of identify which would mark it as seperate from the baltic states. The only problem we have here is Estonia but combining Nordic and Baltic if this is desired sounds reasonable. I have a feeling that however it is split or named most if not all of its contributors will only work on one country like Estonia or Denmark by Cactuswriter would be worked on and neglect the rest. I guess though that any move to try to focus on each cinema under a merged taskforce however it is made is a positive step to make. I hope it would encourage more editors from the relative wikirprojects to join forces and develop their cinemas. The Bald One White cat 20:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20.

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none

There is a dispute going on about the viewing numbers of the film. The http://www.kinokultura.com/plus/prokat2.html site claims 33.3 million viewers while the number gets deleted by a fan of Sofia Rotaru and replaced by a greater number based on an oral statement by Alexander Stefanovich, the director of the film. He has later admitted starting rumours on Alla Pugacheva selling 100 million records which he had invented himself. Therefore Stefanovich is a highly unreliable source for such figures.

An editor has created the article Yorick and Yurick, that appears to deal with Vladimir Vysotsky, Oleg Dahl, and Innokenty Smoktunovsky; their relationship to the character Yorick in Shakespeare's play Hamlet; and possibly some kind of connection with secret intelligence services. The article has several aspects that concern me, but mainly the problem is that I am failing to understand what it is actually about (in policyese, what its assertion of notability is); and while it does cite some sources, they are all in Russian so I am unable to determine whether they can be considered to verify the text. And the problem is compounded by the article's creator's limited grasp of English. As it stands I am going to end up nominating it for deletion, but I really hate doing that if there's a chance it's just my failure to understand. Especially as the editor has indicated they will be offline for several months soon, and thus will not be able to argue their case at AfD.
If anyone here is able to help, that would be much appreciated. Perhaps particularly if you speak Russian and can check the cited sources. Thanks in advance to anyone that can pitch in here! -- Xover ( talk) 16:52, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I have access to the British Newspaper Archive if anyone would like me to search for anything there. I have been trawling through results up to 1929 so far, and while only a relatively small number of Soviet films were shown in Britain before WWII, those that were shown received quite a bit of coverage. There are also quite a few articles discussing the Soviet-controlled film industry and business alliances with Germany and Britain. The history of Soviet films being shown in Britain would make an interesting article in itself, with many classic films banned for several years as Soviet propaganda, but with various challenges and loopholes to allow them to be shown. -- Michig ( talk) 15:24, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
I have several newspaper sources from 1915 discussing this film, all stating that it was the first Russian film to be shown in England. It depicts conflict between the German forces and Russian civilians during World War I, which explains the British interest in it. Apart from these 1915 sources I can't find anything else online about the film. Does anyone know anything about it, e.g. whether it may be listed under a different title? It looks like a film we should have an article on, but it would be good to have more details. Thanks. -- Michig ( talk) 09:43, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

There is a dispute going on about the viewing numbers of the film. The http://www.kinokultura.com/plus/prokat2.html site claims 33.3 million viewers while the number gets deleted by a fan of Sofia Rotaru and replaced by a greater number based on an oral statement by Alexander Stefanovich, the director of the film. He has later admitted starting rumours on Alla Pugacheva selling 100 million records which he had invented himself. Therefore Stefanovich is a highly unreliable source for such figures. See Talk:Dusha for details. -- Jaan Pärn ( talk) 12:10, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles ( BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>> Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Soviet and post-Soviet cinema task force/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you. Okip 02:48, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Almost blanked. There are several similar pages Category:Russian Guild of Film Critics Awards, all of them should be deleted or preserved. Please decide. Xx236 ( talk) 09:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
An editor has created the article Yorick and Yurick, that appears to deal with Vladimir Vysotsky, Oleg Dahl, and Innokenty Smoktunovsky; their relationship to the character Yorick in Shakespeare's play Hamlet; and possibly some kind of connection with secret intelligence services. The article has several aspects that concern me, but mainly the problem is that I am failing to understand what it is actually about (in policyese, what its assertion of notability is); and while it does cite some sources, they are all in Russian so I am unable to determine whether they can be considered to verify the text. And the problem is compounded by the article's creator's limited grasp of English. As it stands I am going to end up nominating it for deletion, but I really hate doing that if there's a chance it's just my failure to understand. Especially as the editor has indicated they will be offline for several months soon, and thus will not be able to argue their case at AfD.
If anyone here is able to help, that would be much appreciated. Perhaps particularly if you speak Russian and can check the cited sources. Thanks in advance to anyone that can pitch in here! -- Xover ( talk) 16:52, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I have access to the British Newspaper Archive if anyone would like me to search for anything there. I have been trawling through results up to 1929 so far, and while only a relatively small number of Soviet films were shown in Britain before WWII, those that were shown received quite a bit of coverage. There are also quite a few articles discussing the Soviet-controlled film industry and business alliances with Germany and Britain. The history of Soviet films being shown in Britain would make an interesting article in itself, with many classic films banned for several years as Soviet propaganda, but with various challenges and loopholes to allow them to be shown. -- Michig ( talk) 15:24, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
I have several newspaper sources from 1915 discussing this film, all stating that it was the first Russian film to be shown in England. It depicts conflict between the German forces and Russian civilians during World War I, which explains the British interest in it. Apart from these 1915 sources I can't find anything else online about the film. Does anyone know anything about it, e.g. whether it may be listed under a different title? It looks like a film we should have an article on, but it would be good to have more details. Thanks. -- Michig ( talk) 09:43, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
