Phase one of project "bring the Horror WikiProject up-to-date" is done… that being the massive updating of our WikiProject's template {{ HorrorWikiProject}}. I field tested the new template a bit and it SHOULD be fine and dandy. While it adds new fields to our old one, it shouldn't have problems interacting with previously filled-in information. If there are ANY problems that you notice, please contact me directly and immediately. Or, if you know how to fix a problem you've found without breaking the template, please feel free to do so; this is, after all, a collaboration.
The template does have redlinks at the moment, since I put altering it before altering the project page. These will be resolved in time, so fret not.

Just to set my mind at rest, is Bloody Disgusting considered a reliable source? Bradley0110 ( talk) 00:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
The article Bride of Frankenstein is going under review for a FA and I noticed it's importance is labeled Mid in the horror scale. Shouldn't it be higher? It's a very critically acclaimed horror film [1] [2] and is even considered a Core article for WP:Films. Shouldn't it be high? Or perhaps even Top? Andrzejbanas ( talk) 01:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
For a sense of consensus, should I add a {{ Needed-Class}} to the project banner ({{ HorrorWikiProject}})? What it allows, essentially, is to create placeholder pages for requested articles by going to where the article would be located and adding (on the talk page) {{HorrorWikiProject|class=needed}}, which adds the page to a special Needed-Class category. Would people use this?
Likewise, should we have a {{ Future-Class}}? I personally don't like Future-Class, since it essentially says this article can't be rated until the item is released… but it does exist for a reason.

Hi, I'm not far off slinking back to my WP retirement but I wanted to ask for when I inevitably slink back for some gnome edits: would it be problematic to add horror project templates to articles like BioShock, Dead Space (video game), Werewolves of London (video game) etc. etc.? I know there are several games already tagged, but when I see things like BioShock without them I wonder if it's because the project isn't interested or whether nobody's got around to it yet. Best of luck in your efforts to kick start the project again. Someone another 06:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, so all of the articles listed in that category are tagged. I didn't get a chance to go through the categories that were listed there. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
It's not clean-cut so here's a heads-up: I've added Call of Duty: World at War to the project and the horror video game category, since it contains a noted sub-game (not what I'd call a mini-game) involving repelling nazi zombies from a barricaded bunker. It's the old Night of the Living Dead schtick. The main game itself is not horror though. If anyone feels strongly that either the category or horror project tag is inappropriate, then please remove it/them. IMO both are valid since the zombies game is part and parcel of the subject of the article and can't be separated. Someone another 22:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello, it is great to see this WikiProject being recalled to life! I enjoyed the thoroughness of the newsletter that I received on my user talk page. I was wondering, though, what was the reason to deliver the entire newsletter to one's user talk page and not link to it? It seems like having newsletters linked elsewhere (like this WP:FILM newsletter) would allow for changes to be made to content by anyone if necessary. More dynamic than static. Not a huge deal, but just wondering the justification. Also, hope you don't mind, but I created the WT:HORROR redirect to here. All I have to do is type "wiki WT:HORROR" in the address bar to drop in. :) Anyway, keep up the great work!

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

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
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.

Randall Flagg's article cites an article from Borders.com three times. The article, unfortunately, no longer exists. The references says "Retrieved on 2007-12-14" when it was still active. Is that enough, or will the corresponding information have to be removed if the article gets nominated for FAC?-- CyberGhostface ( talk) 00:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
That it's a video game is clear, but is Bloody Fun Day horror? Considering it involves grim reapers converting cutesy critters into piles of guts and what influenced the game, I'd say yes but only just. It's borderline though and I'd like the project's input before adding it to the category and the project's remit. Thanks. Someone another 01:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know who to talk to about this, but Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that although Daeg Faerch has been let go from reprising Young Michael Myers, Dimension Films has retained his likeness rights and may possibly use him in H2. Daeg said this before, but now it's being reported by a reliable source. Is this enough to warrant an inclusion in the Daeg Faerch article or will we have to wait until CNN or Fox News picks it up?

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Hi folks, just letting you know I've taken the above list on and am currently trying to repair and expand it. The focus of the list is any video game which either has an undead theme in general, or a theme focused on a particular type of undead beastie, or games with an undead element which is of significance. The list is currently very incomplete, particularly in terms of vampire and ghost games, though the zombie section is faring a lot better. Anyway, if there's any missing entries you'd like to add or discuss, or if you just want to take a look at what's going on you're very welcome. Happy editing.

I'd like to request a review of Friday the 13th (2009 film), as I'm about to nominate it for FAC in the near future. I've done one pass of copy editing already, but since I've been the primary editor on the article I know I often overlook things that make sense to me. I'd like to request some new eyes look for any other copy editing issues, review the alt text (I'm not very good with it), and any other issues that might be found. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 16:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
When somebody has time could a copy edit be performed on Space Gun (video game) please? When the article last went for assessment it came back as needing it's grammar improved, and with a fresh pair of eyes looking over it and correcting it there's a chance the article could become at least B-class.

Hi there. Also new and when I tried to add myself to the member list I noticed that Sean had a template for 24 inadvertently placed in his listing that kind of borked the page a little. I deleted the template itself but I thought I'd throw out a heads up because it means that he has no date listed after his name now and I wasn't entirely sure how to fix that. I've been playing mostly with plot summaries since I've become really active, and have hit a few horror films in the process. That's probably where you'll see me helping the project the most for now; I'm still learning. Cheers! Millahnna (mouse) talk 02:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.

I have nominated Jaws (film) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.
It's unfortunate to say this, but this project has come to a virtual stand still, once again. Not much activity at all. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has virtually received no other edits besides mine, so CoTM is dead, too.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if there is a way to edit anymore, but the latest issue of the Horror newsletter has missed out on the GA-status of Friday the 13th (2009) this month! Will it be included next month? Andrzejbanas ( talk) 06:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
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
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.

This is currently a discussion regarding the inclusion of a video game image for the Texas Chain Saw Massacre article. The discussion can be seen at Talk:The Texas Chain Saw Massacre#Game image. More opinions are necessary to determine a good consensus. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Randall Flagg's article cites an article from Borders.com three times. The article, unfortunately, no longer exists. The references says "Retrieved on 2007-12-14" when it was still active. Is that enough, or will the corresponding information have to be removed if the article gets nominated for FAC?-- CyberGhostface ( talk) 00:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
That it's a video game is clear, but is Bloody Fun Day horror? Considering it involves grim reapers converting cutesy critters into piles of guts and what influenced the game, I'd say yes but only just. It's borderline though and I'd like the project's input before adding it to the category and the project's remit. Thanks. Someone another 01:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Alright, thanks for the input guys, I'll add them now. Someone another 22:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't know who to talk to about this, but Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that although Daeg Faerch has been let go from reprising Young Michael Myers, Dimension Films has retained his likeness rights and may possibly use him in H2. Daeg said this before, but now it's being reported by a reliable source. Is this enough to warrant an inclusion in the Daeg Faerch article or will we have to wait until CNN or Fox News picks it up?

World War Z is currently under review to become a Good Article. Any help you can provide to improve the article would be greatly appreciated. Zombie Hunter Smurf ( talk) 23:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Within the next few days, I'm planning on nominating survival horror for good article status. It's undergone a lot of revisions over the past few months. I'd appreciate people checking in to make sure the prose is good, and that the article is a comprehensive look at the genre. Thanks in advance. Randomran ( talk) 17:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Does your project care about what happens to the talk pages of articles that have been replaced with redirects? If so, please provide your input at User:Mikaey/Request for Input/ListasBot 3. Thanks, Matt ( talk) 01:56, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I've been dealing with my father's failing health in recent months and it hasn't allowed me great amounts of time online. Thus, my apologies for allowing the Project's upkeep get a little behind. I hope to be able to increase my online time in the future. Hope all have been well, hornoir ( talk) 21:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The Transhumanist 22:18, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi folks, just letting you know I've taken the above list on and am currently trying to repair and expand it. The focus of the list is any video game which either has an undead theme in general, or a theme focused on a particular type of undead beastie, or games with an undead element which is of significance. The list is currently very incomplete, particularly in terms of vampire and ghost games, though the zombie section is faring a lot better. Anyway, if there's any missing entries you'd like to add or discuss, or if you just want to take a look at what's going on you're very welcome. Happy editing.

Psycho (1960 film) has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are here.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 22:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I started a discussion at Talk:Leatherface#Main image, regarding a change of the image in the character infobox. As of right now, the discussion is between myself and another editor and we're both on the fence with an image preference. I'm hoping more people will join in and give their opinions, or provide a better image that we might not have found. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

FEARnet is basically an advertisement. It's labeled as Project Horror and rated Start/Mid/B. I think it's a Stub/Low and doesn't belong in Project Horror. Mjpresson ( talk) 05:08, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to request a review of Friday the 13th (2009 film), as I'm about to nominate it for FAC in the near future. I've done one pass of copy editing already, but since I've been the primary editor on the article I know I often overlook things that make sense to me. I'd like to request some new eyes look for any other copy editing issues, review the alt text (I'm not very good with it), and any other issues that might be found. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 16:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
When somebody has time could a copy edit be performed on Space Gun (video game) please? When the article last went for assessment it came back as needing it's grammar improved, and with a fresh pair of eyes looking over it and correcting it there's a chance the article could become at least B-class.

I'm new to the project, and just thought I would introduce myself. Sean ( talk || contribs) 04:38, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. Also new and when I tried to add myself to the member list I noticed that Sean had a template for 24 inadvertently placed in his listing that kind of borked the page a little. I deleted the template itself but I thought I'd throw out a heads up because it means that he has no date listed after his name now and I wasn't entirely sure how to fix that. I've been playing mostly with plot summaries since I've become really active, and have hit a few horror films in the process. That's probably where you'll see me helping the project the most for now; I'm still learning. Cheers! Millahnna (mouse) talk 02:28, 21 February 2010 (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) 03:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

I have nominated Jaws (film) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.
It's unfortunate to say this, but this project has come to a virtual stand still, once again. Not much activity at all. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has virtually received no other edits besides mine, so CoTM is dead, too. I believe it's time to list this project as inactive.-- The Taerkasten ( talk) 18:38, 9 March 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 Horror/Archive 3/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
