I'll take this. Expect comments up within a week.
- OK here we go..... Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- Infobox
- Per WP:INFOBOXREF, no need to cite things here that are already sourced within article body
- Removed. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Removed. Sock (
- Plot
- Can't exactly say "in the near future" since the exact timerange is never established in the film
- Removed the future portion altogether. Sock (

- Removed the future portion altogether. Sock (
- "compose heartfelt, intimate letters"..... seems like POV
- Removed. Sock (

- Removed. Sock (
- Any particular reason the voice actors aren't mentioned in the plot when other actors are? Given Scarlett Johansson's prominence in the film, I'd imagine she'd be included if Joaquin Phoenix is.
- Removed all actors from the plot. I never see the point in including them when there's a cast section right below. Sock (

- "She insists that this does not change her love for Theodore, but rather makes it stronger" → "However, she insists that it makes her love for Theodore stronger"
- Good suggestion, changed. Sock (

- Good suggestion, changed. Sock (
- "he still holds her dear"..... awkward phrasing
- Changed to "cares about her". Sock (

- Cast
- This list needs citations for the roles
- Outside of Bill Hader's role (that's just the generic name in the credits) and Soko's voice role (couldn't find a good source, removed it) I've added these. Sock (

- Production
- Quick note: I merged all of these sections together for now, as none were all that substantial. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Development
- "Megan Ellison’s" should be "Megan Ellison's" per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
- Editing
- The quote "What happened in post was that we edited the movie for ages and finally realized that what Samantha and I had done together wasn't working the right way. It was a really hard realization to come to." could be paraphrased, and it's redundant given the previous quote
- Music
- This subsection is rather short, and should be expanded or merged into other sections per WP:LAYOUT
- See comment under the "Production" header. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- See comment under the "Production" header. Sock (
- No source is given for Phoenix playing ukelele
- Couldn't find one, removed. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Couldn't find one, removed. Sock (
- Release
- I'm concerned with the WP:LAYOUT of really short subsections. "Box office" and "Home media" can come before "Critical response" and "accolades". Could copies of DVD's and Blu-ray's sold perhaps be added?
- In terms of DVD/Blu-ray copies, I've already added that. Expanded Box office. Merged "Home media" with the initial Release section, which is not really standard, but I think it works. Sock (

- Critical response
- A total of six reviews isn't very much for a popular movie such as this. For a good example of how much to aim for, see articles like Beauty and the Beast (1991 film).
- For the Time review, "movie’s" should be "movie's" and "it’s" should be "it's" per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
- "However, the film was not without its detractors"..... awkward phrasing. A better transition would be something like "In contrast" or "Conversely".
- Regarding the "she also praised Johannson's performance" bit, I'd elaborate by describing what Stephanie Zacharek liked about her performance with a description and/or quote
- Expanded. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Expanded. Sock (
- Accolades
- I realize this has a referral link to a separate page, but this seems a bit short. The Saturn Awards are worth including here, and I'd also add some of the winners for nominations that this film lost to.
- Added quite a bit. Sock (

- Added quite a bit. Sock (
- "the American Film Institute included the film in its list of the top ten films of 2013"..... give the specific ranking
- Not possible. It only ranks #1, the rest are alphabetical. Sock (

- Not possible. It only ranks #1, the rest are alphabetical. Sock (
- References
- FN2: Box Office Mojo shouldn't be italicized
- FN3: This should be removed as it doesn't talk about the script writing process (although I see FN4 supports it taking 5 months to write the script)
- "Johansson ended up working every weekend for four months with Jonze constantly tweaking and rewriting her lines." That's all the source is being used to say. Sock (

- FN6: Is "Twitch Film" reliable? Either way, it shouldn't be italicized
- I've never had problems with people considering Twitch reliable. I'd have to ask around. Fixed the italicization. Sock (

- I've never had problems with people considering Twitch reliable. I'd have to ask around. Fixed the italicization. Sock (
- FN7: "/Film" shouldn't be italicized, and I see nothing in this talking about Sony Pictures Classics or Panorama Media.
- Fixed, removed non-verifiable info. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Fixed, removed non-verifiable info. Sock (
- FN9: Not sure if "MovieWeb" is reliable
- Replaced with a Collider source. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Replaced with a Collider source. Sock (
- FN11: "theguardian.com" should read The Guardian, and doesn't mention Cleverbot when talking about instant messaging
- FN12: Indiewire shouldn't be italicized
- FN13: Same as FN7
- FN14: Should just read New York in italics
- FN16: Doesn't say that
- Removed the incorrect part. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Removed the incorrect part. Sock (
- FN17: Is "Shoot Online" reliable?
- Not sure. Opted to replace the source with another one, and add some new info as well.
- FN18: HitFix shouldn't be italicized, and the bit "it sort of became something else" (taken from ref) doesn't say the song was necessarily "reworked" for Reflektor
- Removed that bit. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Removed that bit. Sock (
- FN19: Pitchfork Media shouldn't be italicized
- FN20: Same as FN12
- FN21: Doesn't mention a premiere date for this film, or even that it is the 51st New York Film Festival
- Ref improved with the necessary information, changed "51st" to "2013". Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Ref improved with the necessary information, changed "51st" to "2013". Sock (
- FN22: Publisher is Penske Media Corporation
- Removed as unnecessary.
- FN41: Same as FN9
- I think it's fine for this one, seeing as this information can easily be found on Amazon and other sales sites. Sock (
tocktalk) 16:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- I think it's fine for this one, seeing as this information can easily be found on Amazon and other sales sites. Sock (
- FN42: Says it sold ~ $2.2 million for Blu-ray and ~4.9 million overall video sales
- Strange, I added that part myself and I'm certain the numbers were right at the time. Alas, I've fixed it.
- Overall
- Well-written?
- Prose quality: Decent, but needs improvements
- Manual of Style: Almost
- Verifiable?
- Reference layout: Several citations aren't properly formatted

- Broad in coverage?
- Major aspects: Needs some expansion
- Focused: Nothing of concern

- Illustrated, if possible, by images?
- Appropriate licensing: Image poster has adequate FUR, and cast members photo is from Commons
- Relevance and captioning: Looks good
- Pass or Fail?: This nomination is on hold for seven days. My concerns aren't too extensive, and I feel this can be done in time. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:45, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- @SNUGGUMS: Apologies for how long it took me to get to this, but I've had a hectic week. Hopefully I've met your requirements! Sock (

- You've done well, Sock. Just need to add more reviews (The current total used, 6, isn't very much) Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:24, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- @SNUGGUMS: I'm in the process of doing that right now, I somehow missed that bullet in your listing. Sock (
tocktalk) 21:41, 13 February 2015 (UTC)- Nothing to worry about, just ping me or post on my talk page after you finish that up. I will then do another reference spotcheck. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- I actually went ahead and added a few reviews myself, and am now passing this article. Congrats! Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:56, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
