This looks like a very detailed article. I will commence this review shortly as part of the July 2021 backlog drive.--Akrasia25 (talk) 19:48, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

The article is clearly written and covers an interesting topic. Makes me want to watch the movie which was well reviewed but bombed at the boxoffice. It is stable, most authorship is one user, Some Dude From North Carolina. It is currently ranked a B class article.

The six good article criteria:

1. It is reasonable well written the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct  

it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead, layout and word choice. 

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable It contains a reference section, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline; 

All inline citations are from reliable sources; 

It contains no original research; 

It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism. 

3. It is broad in its coverage

It addresses the main aspects of the topic; 

It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail. 

4. It has a neutral point of view

It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view. 

5. It is stable

It does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute. 

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

Images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;  

Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. 

Recommendations edit

-I would recommend that the author checks for duplicate wiki links in the future. I removed the duplicate links.


-Also, maybe you can fix the sizing of the first gallery of photos to better fit the page. Otherwise, the layout of the article is very attractive with the quote call-out box on the right-hand side.

Assessment edit

This article covers an important topic in an impartial way. It is of particular interest to the WikiProjects covering WikiProject Film.

Congratulations. This article meets the criteria to be a Good Article. Pass/Fail: Pass  --Akrasia25 (talk) 20:34, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi Akrasia, thanks for reviewing this article. The one issue is that it's not clear if all the steps at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles#Assessing the article and providing a review were followed. In particular, the instructions state: "At a bare minimum, check that the sources used are reliable (for example, blogs are not usually reliable sources) and that those you can access support the content of the article (for example, inline citations lead to sources which agree with what the article says) and are not plagiarized".

I checked for plagiarism and I did not see any blogs in the refs. I also went through 5 of the references and found that they matched. Can you be more specific in your comments?--Akrasia25 (talk) 19:18, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Akrasia25, That's good, it's just that your review didn't state that you checked any of the sources. (t · c) buidhe 20:18, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
