Talk:The Mask of Zorro/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

Hello,

On initial reading the article looks to be in a good state and meeting the GA criteria.

I have a few minor problems, the most serious of which is the writing and referencing of the "Lawsuit" section. It contains unformatted references to unreliable sources... The expression is so poor and convoluted that it is difficult to understanding what actually transpired. It is a real sore thumb in the article.

References in general they should be at the end of a sentence rather than after individual clauses.

Plot section meets the MOS guidelines for writing about fiction, though I would prefer that the actors' names be wikilinked here and in the Cast section.

Images Lead image meets guidelines for non-free content. Other images would be nice if possible. Perhaps some freely licensed portraits of the major actors, director or producers are available. Update:Free images added, looks good. I'm wondering about the non-free image from Queen of Swords, the rationale on the file page does not necessarily support its use here. Ironically, since we are discussing a case of copyright violation of styles and characters, there may well be a fair use justification for including that image here.--Ktlynch (talk) 21:23, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

In the development section, it's not very clear who wrote the original script. Secondly, was the final one another re-write of Joel Gross's?

One citation in the home media section would be nice, but none of the information there is particularly interesting or notable. A sentence of two could be incorporated into release.

Legal case citation is not formatted properly, and one secondary source (such as a newspaper report) would be nice to avoid accusations of WP:OR, but it looks succinct and to the point.

There are no problems with stability, as far as I can see from the history and talk page, differences have been solved quite rationally in the past. The article covers all the major bases for a film article, but some more information on the film's themes or cinematic analysis would be nice, though I know this can be difficult to find for a pop film.

To speed things up, I've made some prose changes myself, to the extent that I can without changing the meaning.

Well, the concerns have been addressed, and the lawsuit section seems like it has improved. However, there are citation needed tags in Home media, which I shall fix. Any other concerns? Wildroot (talk) 17:28, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
