Going to look over the article and report back. Rusted AutoParts 03:02, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing i'd highly recommend is to archive all sources. In the event the ones used are at some point 404'd or deleted, we can at least have the archive. webcitation.org/archive is the one I used to archive sources for Steve Jobs. Rusted AutoParts 03:07, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Plot exceeds the 700 word limit. Per WP:FILMPLOT, should be no more than 700 words. It currently clocks at 772. Rusted AutoParts 03:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Reduced to 687. igordebraga ≠ 05:21, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I could be incorrect in feeling this, but maybe the Copyright status paragraph could be it's own section. The production section I feel would flow better if the development of Spectre itself was the bigger focus of the section. Rusted AutoParts 03:14, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Merged into Pre-Production. igordebraga ≠ 05:21, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The cast section seems rather bare. The same also goes for Skyfall as well. If you look at say Captain America: Civil War and it's cast section, it's pretty detailed with actor comments, remarks about the character, etc. It could serve to make the section seem fuller and more presentable.

- I prefer this approach too, but the relevant info is in the Casting section due to the others who wrote the page. igordebraga ≠ 23:03, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rusted AutoParts:, I'll attempt archiving even it's 200+ refs. In the meantime, anything else the article needs? igordebraga ≠ 19:47, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a thorough look through the article tomorrow to see if anything else needs revising. I know archiving the sources is long and boring but it'll be worth it in the event the original source is lost. Rusted AutoParts 20:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Influence section could be merged into the Reception section as well as being renamed. Rusted AutoParts 18:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The pictures used in the article I feel should have more relevance. For example Waltz's doesn't really serve a purpose other than to reiterate he's in the film. Same with Mendes's, there's just no real purpose for it. Perhaps use details within the article for the pictures and why they're significant, like Bellucci being the oldest "Bond girl". The critical reception could use some pictures. I see one of the highlights mentioned is Waltz's and Bautista's performances. Perhaps repurpose Waltz's picture to there with a pic of Bautista to highlight that critical acclaim for their performances. Rusted AutoParts 04:34, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the images a bit, and also merged the Influence section on the Production one. Anything else, @Rusted AutoParts:? igordebraga ≠ 14:47, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The redlink in this sentence "After wrapping up in England, production travelled to Morocco in June, with filming taking place in Oujda, Tangier and Erfoud, after preliminary work was completed by the production's second unit.[87] The headquarters of Spectre in Morocco was located in Gara Medouar which is a 'crater' caused by erosion and of neither volcanic nor impact origin| should be unlinked.

Unless I've missed any spelling/punctuation issues, the archiving of the sources and replacing of any deadlinks should be the last thing needing to be done. Rusted AutoParts 15:26, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Fixed the links. igordebraga ≠ 14:44, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- - Bluesphere helped with the pages I hadn't archived yet, @Rusted AutoParts:. Anything else for the page to pass? igordebraga ≠ 23:47, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're good to go. Passed Rusted AutoParts 02:11, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
