The articles that come under the film project's scope have the potential to be the finest resources available anywhere on film production, from those that cover individual films to those that speak of filmmaking technology and history. As well as pursuing high standards of accuracy, verification and neutrality, the quality of prose and formatting of our film articles should aim to be of a professional standard. 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.

The writing does not need to be beautiful: the challenge is that it be engaging as well as plain and easy to read. Here are general tips on what to aim for in copy-editing film articles.
