 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough, but, is only 1101 characters, so does not (yet) meet the length requirement of 1500 characters.SojoQ (talk) 11:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:10, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Thanks for the additions. The article is now long enough. It is written neutrally and has no image, so that's not an issue. QPQ is done. The hook has an inline citation. However, I found close paraphrasing in the biography section. Though the sentences were from different sources, they were taken nearly word for word, from those sources. I recommend reworking this section so the text is in your own words. From what I can tell, the source that is referenced for Bassel Ghandor doesn't mention him in the article. Please double check to see that the right source was cited. I did see Bassel's name in other articles. Nowar's return to Amman and his subsequent work at the Rawi Screenwriters Lab is not sourced. Also, only positive criticisms of Nowar's work are mentioned on the page. Are there any reviews that have alternative views? I liked this page. Nowar's work sounds interesting. It just needs a bit of tweaking before moving forward.SojoQ (talk) 14:36, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Better? I have read almost every single link about this film, never came across any negative reviews. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:58, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies for not getting right back to you. I spent yesterday reading about Naji Abu Nowar and his movie, Theeb. Thanks for making the adjustments. It's not enough to move forward yet. I'm wondering if you'd mind some help in fine-tuning the page? If so, I can put my concerns on the talk page and we can work through them together. Then, we can ask for an objective reviewer to look at the page. I definitely think people should know about this talented film maker.SojoQ (talk) 15:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Not sure what do you mean with 'fine-tuning' but I am into anything that would move this review forward. Thanks Makeandtoss (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I've put some comments on the Naji Abu Nowar talk page. Please let me know on that page how to proceed. Best RegardsSojoQ (talk) 17:49, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
