Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to machinima. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. To join, please see the Participants section below.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
Scope
WikiProject Machinima aims to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to machinima on Wikipedia, and to standardize, improve, and maintain machinima-related articles. For the purposes of this definition, machinima-related is intended to be fairly broad.
What WikiProject Machinima covers
- Machinima productions and characters
- Examples: The Codex, List of characters in Red vs. Blue
- Techniques and production processes unique to or characteristic of machinima
- Example: Digital puppetry
- Production companies primarily or exclusively known for machinima works
- Examples: Edgeworks Entertainment, ILL Clan
- Voice actors, writers, producers, and other people primarily or exclusively known for their roles in machinima
- Examples: Burnie Burns, Joel Heyman
- Other organizations, publications, events, and awards primarily or exclusively related to machinima
- Example: Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences
What WikiProject Machinima is not
WikiProject Machinima does not currently attempt to cover:
- General filming and acting
- Examples: Letterbox, Voice actor
- General articles about games or fictional characters used to create machinima
- Examples: Master Chief (Halo), The Sims 2
- Note, however, that any articles specifically covering the use of those assets in machinima would be covered.

Guidelines
In a nutshell:
- Make sure that what you're writing is verifiable, reliable, and written from a neutral point of view.
- Avoid original research. This includes speculation that is not based on a reliable source. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.
- Avoid your own assessment of a work or character. Please use reliable sources for reception of machinima.
- Stick to established naming conventions and style guidelines.
- Remember that fiction is always narrated in the present tense.

Requests
List requested articles about machinima-related topics here; provide a brief description. Please ensure that the subject matter is sufficiently notable.
- Chris Burke (musician) — Producer, director, and host of This Spartan Life. Apparently did the sound for Game: On. Has done sound for the ILL Clan in the past. Notable chiptune artist who goes by the alias "glomag".
- Randall Glass — Yup, we've delinked him for being non-notable before. But his Warthog Jump video was nominated for Best Editing at the 2002 Machinima Film Festivall and took home two Rockets on Prisoner awards. Paul Marino has cited WJ as a video that could only be practically done in machinima. Rooster Teeth has cited WJ as direct inspiration and flipping the Warthog onto the Red Base in episode 9 was their direct homage to WJ. Glass also did the voice of Vic in Red vs. Blue season 1. Another video of his, A Few Good G-Men, won Best Virtual Performance at the 2005 Machinima Film Festival.
- It recently occurred to me that an article on The art of Machinima wouldn't be a bad idea either. So long as there are some professional reviews.--Drat (Talk) 11:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Common Sense Cooking with Carl the Cook - ILL Clan. Reputedly the first machinima performed live in front of an audience. - download page Don't forget the Discovery Channel video, potentially useful independant source.

- A Warrior's Life 90 Minutes long. High reviews. No audio dialogue, only text. Very "art-y". Some spelling and grammar errors (English is author's second language). Cineplex review PPJ Review. Pick a link and view source. Quake 2 download.
