GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
- Much overly complex wording with too much detail crammed in.
- Would give examples if there weren't so many other problems more immediate.
- B. Complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Per lead, it doesn't summarize the article. e.g. lede uses "neo-noir" three times but term is not mentioned at all in the article.
- "Homage as essence" - what is the meaning of this heading? - that the film is homage at its essence, that is the essence of the film?
- A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. Provides references to all sources:
- 9 dead citation links
- "that would feature often in later Tarantino films: Big Kahuna burgers (a Big Kahuna soda cup appears in Reservoir Dogs" - Reservoir Dogs (1992) was before Pulp Fiction
- Are all the works listed in the Bibliography actually used in the article?
- B. Provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- A. Provides references to all sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
- B. Remains focused:
- Too much trivia - the reader becomes overwhelmed. Every single known fact doesn't have to be crammed in. e.g.
- "Zed shares a name with Sean Connery's character in Boorman's follow-up, the science-fiction film Zardoz (1974)." - so what?
- "In 2004, Tarantino discussed an idea for a movie starring Travolta and Madsen as the Vega brothers; the concept remains unrealized" - so what?
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
- Does it follow the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- Seems to be slow edit warring going on, with no discussion on the talk page. Last talk page note was a spelling error on 16 August 2011.
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Question whether 7 fair use images can be justified. These are copy righted images.
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- Pass or Fail:
