Hello, I have begun the review and will be posting feedback below. As issues are addressed, please add a note to the relevant item below. Thank you. Hmlarson (talk) 23:52, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Question
[edit]Is this article intended to be about the song as well as the video or just the video? If it includes the song, information about the background, chart performance, track listing of released single, and credits & personnel sections would make this a more thorough article in line with WP:GACR #3. Hmlarson (talk) 23:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]2nd paragraph: "The film follows..." Please change to "The music video follows..."3rd paragraph: "well received" or "well-received" ? Please check/confirm.
Synopsis
[edit]* Is there a link to the official music video that can be used as a reference for this section?
1st paragraph: "sci-fi style" Please change to "sci-fi-style" and link to Science fiction1st paragraph: "a tower topped by the gigantic neon-lit eyes" remove "the"2nd paragraph: add link to Alfa Romeo Giulietta to "Giuleietta Spider passo corto"2nd paragraph: suggested ce for "One of them helps the girl up; she spreads her wings; he holds her hands as she gains confidence" --> "As one of the men helps the girl up, she spreads her wings and he holds her hands while she gains confidence."3rd paragraph: "the identity of the two men revealed" --> add "are" before revealed4th paragraph: "The two men are haunted by the fate the girl will suffer and formulate a plan to rescue the girl." --> please replace "the girl" at the end of the sentence with "her"4th paragraph: "They escape..." Who? the three of them or just the two men? A minor copy edit would help clarify.4th paragraph "fugitive's trunk" should this be fugitives' (plural) or is there only one fugitive?
Production
[edit]"Miyazaki wrote and directed the music video for "On Your Mark", although the song has previously been released in 1994 as part of the single "Heart"." --> change to "was previously released" and add link to Heart if it exists.add wikilink for Toshio Suzukiwho is McCarthy? please expand
Analysis
[edit]General: Consider using past tense consistently throughout this section (e.g., noted, realized, revealed, reflected, etc.)1st paragraph: "The deliberately non-linear and enigmatic work was purposely made to be cryptic in order to stimulate the imaginations of the viewers and their interpretations of the music video." suggested ce: The deliberately non-linear and enigmatic style of the music video was purposely made to be cryptic in order to stimulate the imaginations of its viewers and their interpretations of the music video."1st paragraph: Who is Cavallaro? please expand / introduce who s/he is.1st paragraph: the last 3 sentences start with "Miyazaki also". Please ce for improved readability/flow. Repeat for similar issues in second paragraph of this section.
Reception
[edit]1st paragraph: "The music video has been well received." --> "was well-received."1st paragraph: italicize name of EX Magazine and add link if article exists1st paragraph: "praised the films attention" --> "praised the film's attention"
Releases

Infobox
[edit]add format, genre, recorded, writer, producer and any other fields for which info is available
- I haven't forgotten about this! I'll get to it later today. I've been really busy as of late. Thank you for reviewing it with such detail. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:49, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Hmlarson: I've done the changes and some additional ones. I decided to go for two infoboxes, one for the film (the prominent one) and keep the single information. I tracked down that second Japanese Laserdisc release and cited it and re-organized the section better. Does it look good now? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:07, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- @ChrisGualtieri:, I've gone through the edits and made some additional ones myself. I've bolded a couple questions above that weren't answered yet. Can you take a look? I think if this article is about the song as well as the music video as the lead indicates, more information about the song is needed. If it's intended to be about the music video alone, perhaps a revised title like We Found Love (music video) and lead (to indicate music video rather than song) would be more appropriate.Hmlarson (talk) 03:09, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Personally, I wanted this to be about just the music video since the song itself is supposively rated Gold and everything on the Japanese Wiki is really sparse and not cited to anything. This one's up to you, the Japanese Wiki has them split as the focus is really different, but the two are really separate productions since Miyazaki purposely misinterpreted the lyrics and made this as a side project. I'd be willing to round it out with the song if there is any objection to passing otherwise. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- @ChrisGualtieri: Ok, how about change the title to On Your Mark (music video) and modify the lead (particularly "is a song") to reflect that. Or if you want to keep them together, add more information about the song. Hmlarson (talk) 19:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think I need to change the title since there is no song article yet and the article lead was adjusted already and I just removed the song infobox. So it should be good now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- I've made some additional copy edits and fixed a broken link in the External Links section. Looks good to me. Hmlarson (talk) 05:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
