Invitation
editHi there...I see that you're leading a course project, which involves creating new articles about women in film. As one of the participants in Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Canadian cinema task force, I wanted to extend an invitation — with Canadian cinema being a sadly underrated topic which gets little attention at the best of times, it would be great to have some cooperation between our respective projects if possible.
I note, for example, that many of your listed students have yet to choose an article topic; accordingly, I'd like to offer a few possible suggestions that students might like to choose from if they're having difficulty identifying a suitable topic. I know that your students are not necessarily restricted exclusively to Canadian topics, but since you're with a Canadian university I'm putting them out as possibilities if anybody's interested.
Most of these women are directors who have been nominated for the Genie Award or the Canadian Screen Award for Best Director, but still do not have articles as of today. (The one who has not been a Best Director nominee at the Genies/CSAs, Chloé Robichaud, has won other noteworthy awards that also make her a person we should have an article about.) I recognize that the wrinkle here is that most of them are from Quebec, thus posing the challenge that a significant percentage of the available sources would be in French rather than English, but they'd be especially ideal if any of your students are fluent in French:
- Brigitte Sauriol
- Marquise Lepage
- Louise Clark
- Lyne Charlebois
- Marie-Hélène Cousineau
- Chloé Robichaud
Of course, your students are free to choose anyone they want, but I'm putting them forward as suggestions in case one or more students are having a hard time identifying someone. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 02:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome and suggestions!
editThanks for the welcome, Skyllfully. I am working with folks in Wiki Ed on this assignment and I appreciate the support.
Bearcat, it's a great idea to combine forces. I will send the list of directors you suggest to my students today and encourage them to work on Canadians. Some of them can likely read French. I will also alert them to the Genie Award and the Canadian Screen Award for Best Director, as places to look for more women directors. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Canadian cinema task force. I am teaching a course on Women Film Directors next semester and plan to do this assignment again there.

Categorization
editPlease would you edit the file that is being copy-pasted into Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Carleton University/Women Directors (Winter 2016) to prevent incorrect categorization. DexDor (talk) 21:00, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- I've updated the course from the dashboard. The instructions for students on how to add a category didn't prefix the category links with a colon, so they were including this page in the category. That's fixed now. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:46, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the catch! Chronophoto (talk) 14:55, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
