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

I will be reviewing the article for GA. I've been keeping track of it for months and have made only minor changes to punctuation, adding a word or two, chasing away vandals, etc., so I believe I am not disqualified as a reviewer. Binksternet (talk) 20:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The writing style is not as clear as it could be. The second paragraph of the lead is particularly ripe for a rethink and rewrite. Under Plot, the phrase 'being taken up by' needs some attention. The semi-colon after 'she breaks off with him' should be a period to end the sentence. There's more: I'll go through and neaten it up myself if required.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I can see room for some very slight reference tweaks such as googlebooks URLs for the main references and a '[sic]' within the misspelled Variety article's title. I'll get on those tweaks myself as needed.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Nice touch with the screenshot of Dassin tied up!
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On Hold, awaiting minor improvements Binksternet (talk) 22:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Okay! I've tried to clean up the phrases and spelling errors you've noted. I'm not sure how to add the googlebooks url properly with citations, so I think i'll let you handle that. Feel free to re-write any parts of this or call me on more things. Thanks for taking the time to do the review! Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm going offline for a bit so gimme a few hours and then I'll roll up my sleeves and see how your new effort stacks up. I'll certainly put in some URLs for the main books. Binksternet (talk) 23:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Take your time. And thanks again! Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * URLs still to come. Binksternet (talk) 08:01, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Great. Thanks for the major copy-editing. If there's anything else I can try to help with. Leave a message on my talk page. Cheers. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * URLs are done. One last read-through before signing off on GA. Binksternet (talk) 05:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

<=In my opinion, the article now qualifies for Good Article status. Binksternet (talk) 06:04, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
