Queued for the next batch
These have a Wikipedia plot and meet the bar. They enter the next analysis run and usually appear in the atlas within a week or two.
Waiting on a plot
These are in the catalog but have no substantive Wikipedia plot, so they are not analyzed at all — reading a film from a marketing synopsis invites the model to invent detail, and that is the one thing this project refuses to do. The queue is re-checked weekly; the week a plot appears, the film joins the catalog.
Waiting on a date or a place
These films are read, but their plot never says when or where the story happens — so those fields are left empty rather than guessed. That is not a failure of the reading; a plot summary that omits a year genuinely does not contain one. They are re-checked as Wikipedia improves, and the month a date or a location appears, the film is re-analyzed.
Readings under dispute
Films a reader has flagged as misread. The count is how many people have written in about that film — the notes themselves aren't published here. Each one gets re-run against the rules; where the reader is right, the reading changes.
Missing something else?
If a film isn't here and isn't in the atlas, it may not be in the catalog at all — request it and it gets checked against the same rule. The methodology explains what the rules enforce.
