This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because recently there has been substantial interest in improving this article from several editors. It would be great to get objective third-party opinions about the article to give guidance for how to best improve it.

 * Comment Please read WP:POINT. You are clearly just posting this here in order to continue undermining my edits to the article. Whether or not the article is good now, it doesn't mean it is "complete" and nothing new can be added. elvenscout742 (talk) 04:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No, my other peer review ended and I want to get comments. Please note that User:Ribbet32 and User:Deoliveirafan (self-identifying as anon IP editor) have both contributed much more substantial edits to the article than you. No disruption intended. JoshuSasori (talk) 04:26, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You have reverted all my edits, no matter how minor, to this and most other Japanese film articles. How can I work on making substantial edits when I have to deal with your WP:HOUNDING like this? elvenscout742 (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It's too short and needs more content. I don't think its even a C yet. I persoanlly don't think that its ready for a Peer Review and think that JoshuSasori and Elvenscout should just get a room already. They clearly deserve each other.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 18:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * JoshuSasori can't respond because he's been blocked for making what appeared to be a real-world threat. He and I haven't been getting along, it is true, but I have only ever been genuinely interested in improving this and other articles, and I assume the same is true of him. If you think my edits to the article have been unconstructive please feel free to revert them and find new sources for all of the awards, etc. elvenscout742 (talk) 04:29, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I am very interested in helping to expand the article. Normally with this kind of topic we can just translate Japanese Wikipedia in order to expand the article, and then find sources (has anyone else noticed that Japanese Wikipedia is really bad on referencing!?), but in this case the Japanese article was started last year (apparently split from the article on the book, and inspired by English Wikipedia), and is quite bare, so we're down a rabbit hole. I liked Ribbet's Ebert addition -- I'll probably check tonight if Tadao Sato said anything about the film and try adding that. But apart from various critics' opinions on the film, what do you think we can do? elvenscout742 (talk) 04:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey, I apologize. I was just teasing. He's been rude to me in the past, while I'm never interacted with you before. Anyway, I added some info about the film from the only Mizoguchi biography that I had at my disposal, but there was very little real info about the production. But i rented the Criterion DVD last week and hopefully will get around to adding more content this weekend.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 02:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I know the feeling. Over on Kuroneko I wanted to improve the article and actually bought a copy of the director's diary, but it was mostly along the lines of "Today we shot at xyz temple, and then we went back to Abc's apartment for dinner. When I got home I read Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things in English. It was fun." elvenscout742 (talk) 03:17, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
