GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
 * Much overly complex wording with too much detail crammed in.
 * Would give examples if there weren't so many other problems more immediate.
 * B. Complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
 * Per lead, it doesn't summarize the article. e.g. lede uses "neo-noir" three times but term is not mentioned at all in the article.
 * "Homage as essence" - what is the meaning of this heading? - that the film is homage at its essence, that is the essence of the film?
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Provides references to all sources:
 * 9 dead citation links
 * "that would feature often in later Tarantino films: Big Kahuna burgers (a Big Kahuna soda cup appears in Reservoir Dogs" - Reservoir Dogs (1992) was before Pulp Fiction
 * Are all the works listed in the Bibliography actually used in the article?
 * B. Provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Main aspects are addressed:
 * B. Remains focused:
 * Too much trivia - the reader becomes overwhelmed. Every single known fact doesn't have to be crammed in. e.g.
 * "Zed shares a name with Sean Connery's character in Boorman's follow-up, the science-fiction film Zardoz (1974)." - so what?
 * "In 2004, Tarantino discussed an idea for a movie starring Travolta and Madsen as the Vega brothers; the concept remains unrealized" - so what?
 * 1) Does it follow the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * Seems to be slow edit warring going on, with no discussion on the talk page. Last talk page note was a spelling error on 16 August 2011.
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * Question whether 7 fair use images can be justified. These are copy righted images.
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * Review is on hold. MathewTownsend (talk) 17:58, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * None of the problems have been addressed. Article fails GA review. MathewTownsend (talk) 18:12, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
