Steve, it looks surprisingly transferable, and the examples are good (why didn't someone think of doing this before? It was Roger Davies' idea for MilHist, BTW). I'll have a chance in the next week or two to read it properly. In the meantime, I wonder whether you might be expressing the phenomenon too narrowly: "Good prose is important to maintaining and increasing the authority and reputation of these articles and their contribution to our understanding of the filmmaking process." I don't know, but "Good prose is important to maintaining and increasing the authority and reputation of these articles, and their contribution to our understanding of the filmmaking process and the significance of cinema as one of the foremost cultural products of the modern age." Sounds grand, but ... cinema is. Tony (talk) 13:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
