Initial comments

"Prompt Payment" in the infobox image caption should be in italics
"Prompt Payment focuses on a lawyer who evade his creditors" - evades
"The parent's find them asleep in the snow " - parents (no apostrophe)
"After reaching home each youngster was spanked, but the punishment was eased by hearty kisses" - this is not mentioned in the plot section
"A review in The Moving Picture World and a review by Walton" - is Walton the surname of the reviewer?

On hold

I'm not sure what to do, the article is very short even for a lost Thanhouser film and only has four references and 4K of prose! Can anything else be found on it? Are there any speculation on who the cameraman and director was? In addition to fixing all of the above, any possible expansion would bring this article closer to meeting the GA criteria JAGUAR 12:20, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will get to this tomorrow. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:34, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes done, added some more information and also tracked down and had to highlight a contemporary error that I discovered in a search of archive materials. Sometimes the newspapers help, but I found a few canned reviews and I do not want to use them. So as short as the article is... this is about all I got for now. I want to keep the rare split reels together, but I hope to expand this later if new material comes out. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:57, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, almost left this behind! This should be good to go now, thanks for addressing them. It's always a trouble when there's a lack of information out there, but bearing in mind the age of this film I think it shouldn't affect the criteria. JAGUAR 19:08, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
