Talk:Ed Wood (film)/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I am reviewing your article for GA and will add some comments below. It looks like well written article but it needs copy editing. Do you mind if I do some minor copy editing, rather than listing all the problems? I only have a few comments, if I fix the copy editing myself. (I may add more later.) &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 00:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC) &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 00:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "With Lugosi attached as actor, Ed convinces Weiss..." - What does "attached as actor" mean?
 * "Although Lugosi begins to feel much better, he dies days later. Ed begins to financially struggle, but he finds out that his landlord, Mr. Reynolds, along with other members from the Baptist Church of Beverly Hills, plan on making 12 individual films about the Twelve Apostles." - How are these events related? The "but" indicates a contradictory relationship eg. "A  is happening but B happened instead.
 * Go ahead and copy-edit. You seem to be very experienced. I'm going to fix those two sentences. Wildroot (talk) 01:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You need to decide whether you want to call people by their first or last names. For example, in the plot you call everyone by their last name, except Ed. Elsewhere, you refer to Wood at least once. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 01:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's kind of hard. In the movie, Edward D. Wood, Jr. is referred to simply as Ed, Bunny Beckenridge is referred to as Bunny, etc. They differ from time to time. Wildroot (talk) 04:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. I fixed a few things (punctuation, ref page nos). Very interesting article. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 18:53, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Botched quotation
The section on Historical Inaccuracies quotes author Ken Hanke: "Parker's performance presents her as a kind of sitcom moron for the first part of the film and a rather judgmental at wholly pleasant character in her later scenes." The phrase "judgmental at wholly pleasant" would appear to be some kind of transcription error. Does anyone have the correct version? - InvisibleSun (talk) 03:07, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
