Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments later in the week. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 18:40, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Basic stuff and comments

 * Change the uses of Leon Ames to simply Leon Ames
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Change all uses of the book "Universal Horrors" to either Universal Horrors or "Universal Horrors".
 * Changed Universal Horrors to italics as its a book. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Miton Carruth Milton Carruth per the reference used.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Articles (examples 1 and 2) usually have the premiere location, (in this case, the RKO-Mayfair Theatre) after the first date in the infobox, and (United States) after the second.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Some characters in the first paragraph have the actor's name right after they are mentioned, but others do not. Try to be consistent.
 * I've changed this so they all match. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * A good lead section has a good premise that doesn't spoil the entire plot of the film. To accomplish this, simply remove the sentence starting with "Dupin proves his innocence".
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * No mention of the date February 21, 1932, in the lead?
 * I mean, do we need to? I think it's ok how it is. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Plot and cast

 * The plot changes from using the name "Pierre" to using "Dupin" to describe the same character. Fix this.
 * Now says Pierre consistently. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * "deliver it to Pierre the next day" "deliver it to him the next day"
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Remove (D'Arcy Corrigan) per consistency with the rest of the plot section.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * The actors who portrayed the "Italian Alberto Montani, German Franz Odenheimer and a Danish man" should probably be mentioned in the cast list.
 * Done. They are thankfully within the Universal Horrors source as well. As is the Ape, so I've removed the unique source for it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Production

 * Move the third reference after the sentence ending with "did not begin until 1931" to after the comma following "March 1930". Additionally, merge the other two references into a single citation titled "Weaver, Brunas & Brunas 2007, pp. 47-48."
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * "Frankenstein was in production" "Frankenstein was in pre-production" or "Frankenstein was in preparation".
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Mention the fact that the studio dropped Melford as director once Florey was available for leaving Frankenstein.
 * From my readings, its not clear that's exactly the case. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Put "a lack of sex appeal" in quotations in the article.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge the two citations after "murderer spoke" to a single citation titled "Taves 1987, pp. 137-138."
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Same thing with the two references after "numerous characters". Change to a single citation titled "Taves 1987, pp. 138-139."
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * "..." "[...]"
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Release

 * Combine the two citations after "1949" to a single one titled "Rhodes & Kaffenberger 2016, pp. 113-114."
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Reception

 * "Andre Sennwarld" "Andre Sennwald"
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Link "The National Board of Review Magazine" to National Board of Review.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Try removing some quotes from the review by Patrick Legare per WP:RECEPTION.
 * I just cleaned up the quotes here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Remove the following: "The authors also said: Entrenched in a style which condemned it as a relic before its time, Florey's experiment has come to be regarded as a cinematic barrel of spinach that even the most jaded fan finds hard to swallow. Beyond its vulgar excesses and inspired theatrics, however, lurks a daring full-throttled-Poe inspired thriller couched in a darkly sinister aesthetic all its own" per WP:OVERQUOTE.
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Also remove the following per WP:OVERQUOTE: ", and said; "Depending on the disposition of the individual viewer, the 'feeling of dreamlike unreality' can go either way, to describe an 'oneiric masterpiece' or just plain incompetence".
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Legacy

 * Remove the "!" after "haunt me".
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * "The Raven and The Black Cat" "The Black Cat and The Raven"
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge the two citations after "deranged scientists" to a single reference titled "Heller-Nicholas 2020, pp. 7-8."
 * Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
