Surrealism
I nominate this article as I consider it highly informative, well written and structured, and one of the prime articles on forms of art contained on Wikipedia. tyx


 * Strong oppose, no inline citations for the dozens of statements in the article that need them, including howlers like "Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated television series South Park often seeks to make points by employing satire that is surreal in nature" snd "Some Surrealist theorists have stated that Surrealism has somehow 'gone beyond' or 'superseded' philosophy, or that philosophy has been 'outclassed' by Surrealism." None of the quotes are sourced either. Andrew Levine 08:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong object no inline citations. Please reference the entire article, and remove vague language as pointed above.  A very thorough copy edit is needed as well.  Here's a sample:  The Marxist dialectic and other theories, such as Freudian theory, also played a significant role in some of the development of surrealist theory and, as in the work of such theorists as Walter Benjamin and Herbert Marcuse, surrealism contributed to the development of Marxian theory itself.  This text can be made more user-friendly.  Just seeing the word theory five times in one sentence makes me lose track of who's on first.  Sandy 12:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. In addition to the above, the paragraphs are too short and choppy, and there is an infobox right in the middle... RyanG e rbil10 (Drop on in!) 05:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
