GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.'' As part of WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAFA. While this article is much, much better than it was when it passed GA back in 2006, I have determined that there are still a few issues that need to be addressed to ensure compliance. I'm placing the article on hold for a week pending improvements, longer if significant progress is made. Please appraise me of developments and updates in this space.

 * The plot could be condensed down further, mostly by just abbreviating the subplot into one paragraph.
 * The plot is now below six hundred words. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The "Media Coverage" seems more like a blow-by-blow detailing of the PR campaign than it should be and smacks of some undue weight, especially considering it's twice as large as the development section (which has some elements, such as the short two lines about preview footage, that should be moved to this section anyhow.) Why is there a Music section and then a soundtrack section? Do mentions in two television programs known for their satirical broadcasts really merit a full subsection? The "Internet" subsection could be condensed further, especially since the the Zebro comedy group video and Coyne parody are either poorly referenced or mostly cited to the primary source. If these were really all that important, they can be summarized and cited to secondary sources.
 * I cut down on this section and removed a lot of the unnotable appearances. I kept the Colbert/Stewart shows as it seems significant for the shows to be focusing on the film considerably several months before the film's release (usually it's just a few days before, if that). The music section focuses on the fan-based music and for promoting the film, while the soundtrack is separate as it actually features the film's music (and is sold separately). --Happy editing!

 * Prose problems: some clauses still read as if the movie has not come out, or sound as if the promotions are still running (ex. "In August 2006, Varitalk launched an advertising campaign in which fans can send a semi-personalized message in Jackson's voice to telephone numbers of their choosing.")
 * I believe I've fixed all occurrences, let me know if you spot anymore.
 * An "In popular culture" section with two sentences? Cut it.
 * This used to feature other popular culture references, but was trimmed considerably recently. I moved the existing information elsewhere. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * File:SnakesOnAPlaneTheAlbum.jpg really doesn't meet NFCC.
 * Deleted. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Some citations are unformatted; according to the linkchecker, some links are dead.
 * Removed/fixed dead links. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

As all my issues have been addressed to a reasonable level of satisfaction or have been defended, I am passing the article as swept. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 18:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
