Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Peer review/Rumble Fish
This is a very underrated film in Francis Ford Coppola's career. I've cleaned up this article considerably and would like any suggestions, comments, etc. that would help raise to GA status. --J.D. 20:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Good work so far, but some things I have noticed:
- It shouldn't really be necessary to have a US flag in the infobox next to Country, because you have the name of the country. You could, though, use a flag next to the release date, instead of (USA).
- I could be wrong, but I don't think you should need references in the lead section. The lead is just a summary of the rest of the article, so anything mentioned in the lead should be expanded, and cited, further down.
- In the lead, 1940's should be 1940s.
- The 1st sentence of the plot, "Set in an unnamed industrial town (Tulsa, Oklahoma, in Hinton's bookS.E. Hinton)..." doesn't make sense.
- The plot section is far too long. According to the Manual of style, it should be between 400 and 700 words long.
- It needs more categories, for example Country, language, genre.
- Could maybe do with a copyedit for some of the language. Eg.
- "Suddenly, the Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke) arrives and is quietly displeased with the renewed violence he worked to end"
- "It is during conversation between Steve and an injured Rusty James that we learn how the Motorcycle Boy has been gone for two months, is 21 years old, colorblind, partially deaf, and noticeably aloof - the last trait causing many to claim he's got loose screws in the head"
- "He fools around with another girl and is dumped by Patty, who quickly (too quickly) found out about his tryst."
- The movie poster needs a fair use rationale.
- The article switches between "the movie" and "the film". Might not matter, but personally I would just stick to one.
Hope this helps --Belovedfreak 15:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
