Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Peer review/Ghostbusters

This is one of the greatest comedies of the 1980s if not of all-time and I think that with a little more work that this article could make it to GA status. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -J.D. 19:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts...

  • The plot is far too long. The MoS currently suggests between 400 and 700 words.
  • The sentence below the cast could do with a source, and doesn't need "according to various sources..." - just cite the source.
  • the development section needs more citations.
  • the music section needs citations, and the one that is there needs converting to inline citation.
  • Reception section - needs expanding. Summarise some of the reviews of the film. Awards & nominations need mentioning.
  • Could do with a section about the theatrical release & box office figures. Some of this is mentioned in the lead section, but it should be in the main article. The lad section should summarise what is expanded upon in the rest of the article.
  • External links should be cut down to the official site, imdb link and maybe open directory link. Any reliable, relevant info from the other sites should be incorporated into the article.
  • I would take out the flag next to country in the infobox. Consider using it next to release date if you add further dates (which is a good idea), but that's also controversial. See the discussion on the film project talkpage.

Hope this helps. --BelovedFreak 19:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
