List of articles in WikiProject Film for blitz[edit]

Could you please add a link to the October 2013 Blitz page to the correct list of articles in WikiProject Film to work on for the Blitz? I thought I had found a listing of articles needing copy editing under Project Film, but the entire page was huge, and it dragged horribly when I tried to scroll through it. Then I noticed at the top that that page had not been updated since March 2010. It had links to 2 other "full listings," but those pages only errored out when I tried to open them. Could you please direct us to the correct listing of articles to work on? Thank you very much! JudyCS (talk) 03:38, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Update: Okay, sorry, long day. I expanded the Article list below the "WikiProject Film" heading underneath Article lists on the October 2013 Blitz page & found the list of 72 (as of this writing) articles. The instructions under Article lists says that when we have chosen an article for copy editing & are ready to edit, "add  Working ... next to the article's listing in the table below page." I must be having a dense day, but ... what table below what page? Two sentences further, the instructions state that when we are done copy-editing, "add Green tickY ... next to the article's listing below..." Is the Article list "below" the "table below page"? Is this "Article list" the one place from where we work, choosing articles & adding the  Working & Green tickY tags as we go? (Please pardon my brain fog. It's been a crazy few weeks -- that's my answer & I'm sticking to it...) Thank you for your patience & perseverance! JudyCS (talk) 04:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at it now. Does that make more sense? The word "page" was extraneous in the instructions, and I added some examples of what an in-progress article and a completed article look like. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:29, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for the clarification, Jonesey95! I was reading the instructions initially at the end of a long, crazy day, & was getting myself all twisted around (doesn't take much, on some occasions). Thanks to you, I am straightened out & on track. Again, I thank you so much for your patience, perseverance, expertise, & all sorts of other adjectives!
