[edit]The phrase "confined to a wheelchair" is demeaning, offensive, and oppressive and should not be used here. A person is never "confined to a wheelchair": he doesn't shower or sleep in his wheelchair. When he rides a plane he rides in a seat, not his wheelchair. "Confined" is inaccurate and conveys an inaccurate stereotype of inability of wheelchair users to engage in sexual, social, travel and physical pursuits.

Infobox and lede
[edit]- "and later by Lawrence Stewart Talbot / The Wolf Man," → "and later by Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man"
- "Talbot survives the fall" → "He survives the fall"
- Link "Frankenstein's monster" in the first paragraph, delink in the second
- The plot summary is a little dense for a lede section; covering that Drac and the Wolf Man are searching for cures, that Talbot finds Frankenstein's monster, and that Edelmann becomes transformed into a monster himself should cover it without the current levels of detail"
- I've tried to shorten it up. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:40, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- The title "Dracula Vs. The Wolf Man" is not mentioned below; the body has the order of the "vs." flipped
- Fixed. Wolf Man vs. Dracula is the correct title. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:40, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Whatever the film title is, it should be italicized in the sentence beginning "The film eventually went into production"
- Missing period after "put on hold for nearly six months"
- "screenings; retrospective" → "screenings, while retrospective"
Plot
[edit]- Plot summary is 612 words, under the 700-word max, good job
- Right on. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Link Count Dracula
- "Dr. Franz Edelmann. The count explains" → "Dr. Franz Edelmann and explains that"
- "can cure vampirism." → "may heal him."
- Link Frankenstein's monster and
- Link "Dr. Niemann" to House of Frankenstein (film), as that's when the body-clutching happens
- Done. Wouldn't this go against WP:EGG though? Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would say not, as WP:EGG mostly refers to when you think something will link to a common term and then it doesn't; since Dr. Niemann is original to this particular film, someone wanting to know about the character would end up there anyway, if that makes any sense. — GhostRiver 15:10, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Link Clavaria formosa and capitalize Clavaria as the genus
- "and tosses her body" → "and throws her body"
Cast
[edit]- Good
Production
[edit]Development
[edit]- "whose script" → "the script of which"
- Comma after "to be Ford Beebe"
- Comma after "The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944)"
- "two film deal" → "two-film deal"
- Some reordering is in order so that we know the working title was Destiny by the time we get to the studio memo; currently we only get "titled Destiny" in the second para
- Done, and re-arranged a pinch. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- WL World War II
- linked. Andrzejbanas (talk) 07:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comma after "rushed to his dressing room"

- Comma after "reused in House of Dracula"

That's all I have! Looks like a lot, but it's mostly minor grammatical things. Putting on hold for now; feel free to ping me with questions, and let me know when you're ready for me to take another look! — GhostRiver 03:33, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
