Talk:Downfall (2004 film)

Re-submitting this as a good article
The article has been fixed up, and what was needed to be added has been added. I believe this is ripe for a good article review now, so I am submitting this again. Last time I had removed the nomination myself to fix issues someone pointed out, such as the production of the film and its lead section. If there are still issues you may have noticed then please let me know. -- NowIsntItTime 21:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The Critical reception section reeks of direct quotes. Consider reducing the amount of quotes, see WP:QUOTE and WP:RECEPTION, and try building a commentary out of those reviews. See The Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty for excellent examples on how to do this. Also, what do German film critics have to say about the movie? It's very important to report on the film's reception in Germany. A lot of the reviews in the article came from Western publications.

 * Oh ok, up until now I had no idea that direct quotes would have been a problem, so I'll get right to changing that up! I'll also look around for the German critics so that it's well balanced. -- NowIsntItTime 04:16, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There are some statements that I tagged as unsourced/needing a better source, so please resolve them. Can you find a citation that says the movie was well received in Germany? Tks,  Slightlymad  (talk &sdot; contribs) 14:01, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Done! Added sources, but I had to change it to reflect its divided reception at first. I also added another reference for Hermann Graml, but I didn't know whether you meant the whole of Germany or the critics for Germany. Which one do you mean? -- NowIsntItTime 16:09, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Nah never mind that one. I searched it myself but yielded no results. I will expand on the DVD/Blu-ray releases shortly instead. Tks,  Slightlymad  (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Naming?
I'm wondering... Outside of the Anglosphere Der Untergang seems to be the more used title, plus it's the original title. And for older movies generally the original titles are used from what I remember. So why is the Englified title used? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:980:1234:1:C50:7924:D52B:EAB5 (talk) 00:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The film was released under its English title outside Germany, in which case it should be used as the article's title, as per Wikipedia's naming conventions for films.  Slightlymad  (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:56, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

GA fix-ups
Hello. I've had almost a week of free time to work on the article. Just want to let you know that I've done almost half of what you've asked me to do so far and I'll be looking for more info to do the rest in the future. Oh and I had an idea to add a section for the score, but I don't know if it exists yet. NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 03:11, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Would you want to take a look at the state of the article now to see how it's coming along? I'd like some comments on what I can do next to improve the article, even if I have to end up re-submitting it later. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 16:45, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Unless you are willing to go over it again, as I have fixed the issues you had with the article, I am going to request that another reviewer come on-board to determine whether it now qualifies or not. Just giving you notice, as you've been inactive in checking on its progress for a while now. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 01:52, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey! Since this review here is closed, you will have to open a new one anyway. I will see, if I find the time to do the second review. Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:05, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, sounds good. I will open the second review page in the meantime. I will give you a few weeks or so to come back and re-review it. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 11:51, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * NowIsntItTime, you are not allowed to open a GA review page for someone else, and you are especially not allowed to open a GA review page when you're the nominee. Please request a deletion for Talk:Downfall (2004 film)/GA2 right away (see WP:G7 for instructions on how to do so). Zwerg Nase is the one who needs to open the review, assuming they get around to doing so; if they don't, it might get taken up anyway, since there's a GAN backlog drive going on at the moment. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, please delete the review page. I will not be able to come back too this review at this time unfortunately. Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:36, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Ah, shit. I'm so sorry. When Zwerg said I needed to open a new review I thought they meant for me to open up another page, my bad, I'll delete it right away.

that's too bad you won't get around to reviewing it. The next person, then, will do it. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 11:08, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having it deleted, NowIsntItTime. I've adjusted the GA nominee template (the page should still be 2). The note you added is not necessary, but I've left it in. The nomination is now ready for a new reviewer to come along; I hope it happens soon, but it can take quite a while, unfortunately. Best of luck! BlueMoonset (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yah not a problem. I just had no idea you couldn't do that for someone else, but now I know for next time. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 15:32, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Parodies again
Surely it's the Fegelein tirade that's been most used? Perhaps this can be sourced. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
